Picked up anno 2070 for 20 and the expansion for 15. Happy about that. Everyone needs to grab walking dead, i picked that up on the autumn sale. What an incredible experience.

If you don't own ANNO2070, GET IT NOW!!
Ive put in 250 hours on that game and its wonderful expansion (DEEP OCEAN).

IMO its one of the best games of hte last 5 years, its got crazy replay value and has some of hte best coop ive ever played.

Thats the Kozzy pick of the day!

So when buying a game on gamers game with steam or origin DRM that basically means you are buying the cd key and then enter that key into the correct client and then download the game as if you bought it from that client?

I'm assuming you meant Gamersgate? You can do that, yes. Take the respective keys and register it on Origin or Steam. Steam should be no problem, but for EA, older games might not work on Origin (ie. Mass Effect 1). Depending on the game, GG also lets you download the game's installation from their website. That might be the way to go if Steam is going to slow with the sale and all.

Absolutely this. This also applies to other websites like Gamefly. Go to your "Purchase History" and your games will appear with their respective codes. Very simple and easy to use!

There's a 5% code for Gamersgate. Apply code: IAMANELDERGEEK. It should still work. It is only 3 days old.Yes, it's a small discount but it's better than nothing and it's sure to put a small dent in your more expensive purchases.

My laptop is getting abused with all these deals. I need to defrag and uninstall some things. This is insane. Some good deals right now, but I have not been able to pull the trigger.

Picked up DCS A10C Warthog on Steam. In 10 Hrs. of gamplay I give it a 9.5/10. Its a flight simulator. I underlined the Sim part because that is what the game is, and that is the mode it is the most fun to play in. I haven't been in a real A-10, so I can't vouch for realism, but in the game there is a big process just to get the plane started, drop bombs, navigate etc. The game must have around 100 buttons in the cockpit and 25 gauges and displays. Luckily there is a very good tutorial that explains things by voice/written commands, and by highlighting buttons. You can also opt to play with the plane already started for you on the runway, or inflight.

I'm also waiting for Doom 3 to become a flash sale, and drop further in price.

Games I was close to getting, but changed my mind on because of reviews and I'm broke:

Rainbow Six Vegas 2

Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition

Edit:

Also just picked up Knights of the Old Republic II on steam; for $2.49 I couldn't resist.

Bought CoD4 and WaW on the Steam mobile app, then when went on to Steam on my desktop, my brother had gifted them to me as a Christmas present. So my brother ended up getting the games too. Kind of sucks for me since I wasted $20, guess I'll add $20 to make up for it.

If anyone's waiting for a KoA Steam deal - don't. It's never going on sale because it was self-published by 38 Studios and they're bankrupt so the rights to that version are in limbo. Get the complete pack, EA puts it on sale like every week and it activates on Origin.

Jet Set Radio could have been one that I would consider getting, but sounds like it didn't aged well.

Gamefly has it for $12. Not a steam key of course because it's an EA game. It's $60 on Steam right now. There's no way it will even touch the 50% off mark. Go and get it at Gamefly! :P

I'm looking at the THQ collection for (24.99) and has something like 22 games in it. Also looking at getting the Total War Bundle for (21.73) and has all 3 eras of recent Total War games plus DLC. These prices are absolutely insane and even though you would be saving a ton of money buying these bundled together, It's not really saving if you weren't planning on buying them in the first place. The biggest thing shying me away from getting either of them is the sheer amount of space this would take up on my HDD. I only have 291gb left to begin with, PLUS I'm getting Guild Wars 2 which is already on the way. I would neither have the time and possibly the space to get either of the collections. I'm so torn on this!

Yup :D It doesn't surprise me though. Ever since The Secret World got rid of their subscription model (now buy to play), Arena.net has to ease up on the price a bit and gain some player base. Not that I think it has anything to worry about. :)

Argh bloody Activision. I want to buy COD4 but it's $30USD in the Australia Steam store and $10USD in the American one. So far all attempts at VPN/Proxy have failed. What a nightmare.

Are the prices in AU like that for most of the games on Steam?
