That is a good sale with popular titles going for a fraction of their normal selling price. There's Dead Island or Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine  for $9.99 each, for example.

Thanks for the heads-up, Grim.

Don't even hesitate.

I play that game when I don't want any heavy lifting. Just to relax and unwind.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Snagged it...and Lego Batman 2...and Civ V : Gods & Kings (which I could gave sworn I already owned).

Even though I spent most of the weekend playing XCOM (with a bit of upkeep on my Great Invasions campaign), I managed to snag some of the deals.

I missed the 50% Fallen Enchantress flash sale, but picked it up on regular sale.
Got the whole Orcs Must Die collection ridiculously cheap. Also Bastion. (I kept waiting for those to be ported to PS3, but they'll run on my old PC system and the price was too good to miss.)
Took a gamble on Two Worlds Epic--the first game plus expansions. (The sequel won't run on my system, but I can get that for PS3.) Looks ugly, but I may get some play out of it. Less than a lunch at Subway.
Thief Bundle -- I never got Thief 2, and hopefully this will still work on my system.
Dungeons Gold -- Both of the "Dungeons" games, with expansions, essentially a spiritual remake of Dungeon Keeper but designed more as a tower defense game.
X-Com UFO Defense -- the original, because I have a feeling I'll want to play that once I finish the recent remake. I think I have a copy archived somewhere, but now I know I do.  ;D

I shopped Gamersgate, but their sales were always more expensive than Steam. I did pick up Achtung Panzer: Kharkov.

I came very close to pulling the trigger on one of the Jagged Alliance updates, but the reviews ultimately scared me off. Is JA2Gold any good? (I own JA2 in a used copy bought a few years ago, never installed it.) And/or are there any worthy successors anywhere, or is it like X-com?--plenty of incompetent pretenders to the throne?
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

-Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 3 50% off - $29.99

I think this just rolls in to the Gamersgate holiday sale, so I'd imagine deals keep going there right through the end of the year :

-Total War Shogun 2 : Fall of the Samurai 75% off - $7.49
-Victoria Collection 75% off - $14.99
-War of the Roses 50% off - $15
