I got the client and downloaded a couple free games, we'll see how it goes.
That FTL game didn't look too exciting in the screenshots

HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

Soooooo I just sat down for just a few moments with Anno 2070. It is now 5:43 am. Needless to say, the game can keep you glued to the screen...
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Don't judge a game by its... picture?
Here's a total biscuit video of the game:
To me the attraction of the game lies in this uncertainty of the next encounter and the challenge micromanagement in a crisis provides.
EDIT: Also there is a ton of mods for the game that greatly lengthens and improves upon the experience.

Im trying to decide whether or not to get the DLC for Civ 5, got the game free from steam when I bought Xcom months ago and only got round to trying it the other day. Found out I had been missing out, that game is great. Probably end up spending more time on it than Xcom.

Mmmm....Remember Me has 40% off in a daily deal. Is it likely to get any lower or is this the time to grab it? To be honest, it's still £18 and I'd rather get it cheaper than that, if I can.

OK guys. DON'T launch Anno 2070 if you have something to do that day, like sleeping or work. Swallows time like Civ V...

I see Kerbal Space program is on sale now, 40% off. It's still early beta (0.2 I think) but I've had tons of fun with it already. That they're doing the Mount and Blade/Minecraft business model only makes them better in my eyes.

If you want to keep an eye on the Flash and Community sales, I highly recommend the Steam App for mobiles, makes it much easier.
I've grabbed Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs and an interesting greelit project called Kinetic Void.
Spec Ops: The Line is worth the $7.48 it's currently going for. It's only really good for a single run through, but I thought it was great for that run through (on... story basis for lack of a better way to put it).
Also, remember, when a game goes on sale, all it's DLC get the same discount.

Yep, got all the Just Cause 2 DLC for £1.34, and grabbed the two character Borderlands 2 DLC packs for a pittance. Only bad thing about the Season Pass, really.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Picked up Tomb Raider and... the 4x Strategy Game from Greenlight that's one of todays daily deals... Masters of something? I don't recall the actual name, but it looked interesting.
Monster Hunter World Iceborne: It's like hunting monsters, but on crack, but the monsters are also on crack.

Never launch Total War then, it's always one more round or one more battle.. Is Anno 2070 still always online?
Total War is actually... rather not as good as it used to be for me. After the 100th battle it gets really tedious so I just tend to autocalc them. And on just the strategic map, TW isn't much at all... at all.

Flash sales are once only... you might see it again on the last day.

And it's still 50% off at the moment, so if it doesn't you could still grab it relatively cheap.
