I haven't had much luck with the gifts so far. Mostly coal and a handful of coupons. Oh, and a copy of L4D2 and a DOTA 2 beta key. At least I think its a beta key. It says "Dota 2 - Hardware Survey" in my inventory but googling about it seems to indicate that it is indeed a beta key.

Might be willing to trade it off if I got a good offer...hmm...

The temptation to spend during sales is strong but for those of you who have bandwidth to spare (like if on unifi), than I suggest you guys download the demo first (if available) before buying. See if you actually like the game and would play it before whipping out the credit card.

I was tempted to get Atom Zombie Smasher myself because of all the good indie reviews plus the xmas achievement. Decided against it after playing the demo. Not that I didn't like it. It was not a bad game, but I can't quite imagine playing it over Shogun 2, Orcs Must Die, and a whole bunch of other games I already have. Buying a game just for the sake of the achievement seems rather pointless to me.

Won't deny I was sorely tempted though...I still might get it before the sale ends...must resist...
