Sonic Generations is pretty awesome. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to nostalgia their way through a game.

City Escape. I nostalgia'd so hard.

I wonder if Barack ever got around to playing his copy.

Picked up Bastion and found it to be a pretty interesting game.

I can't decide if I want Dear Esther or not...

[EDIT]
I'm liking Bastion so far. I LOVE its soundtrack.

I'm debating picking up the Age of Empires III: Complete Collection. I really can't decide.

Civilization: Complete Collection is 71% off for $40. Worth it if you want to try some of the older games. Most people seem to like either 2 or 5 the best. If we are including the expansion into 5, it has a lot more fans (expansion adds religion, for instance, which really should never have been left out of the core).

Is Age of Empires III worth it? I've gotta admit, I've never played AoE...

The soundtrack is almost universally praised. It's awesome, especially the ending song.

That's two fiddy he could be spending on panda cars and hot dog costumes in SR3!!

Finally, Deus Ex might go on sale now.

Voted Dues Ex, because I'd definitely like it, but not enough to pay a noteworthy amount of money atm.

Civ V is a flash sale, which brings the complete collection down to like $25 (but no Gods and Kings expansion in that). Civ V alone is $7.50. The GotY edition is $12.

Bought Amnesia, Dear Esther, Mirror's Edge, and the Civ V GotY edition.

Another free game from GMG. UFO Aftermath. "Buying" it also gets you a 20% off coupon on a future purchase.

They do that a lot. I've posted three offers for a free game + voucher in the last week or so. A couple other free games they've given away have been worth $2 or $3 each back in trade-in credit. Not a bad deal even if the game itself is no great shakes.

Amazon doesn't use anything. You either get a Steam key (which you activate on Steam, natch) or a small executable to download the game and which you can then delete. If the game requires GFWL or Origin or whatever you'll still have to link it to that account.

GMG has a launcher called "Capsule" that they use for their stuff. If the game is Steamworks you'll get a Steam key instead and not need Capsule. The reason for Capsule is because they allow you to trade games (on Capsule) back for credit so they need a DRM method of handling that. Games not on Capsule are not eligible for trade-in since they can't block your Steam games.

I don't believe GamersGate or GetGamesGo use anything for their non-Steamworks games. I've only ever bought Steam keys from them.

Got my cheap "Kill Hitler" DLC via the Sniper Elite V2 flash sale. Woohoo.

The base game is still $15 on Amazon, by the way. Hope none of you bought it for $25 from Steam.

I'd list the dailies except they're all repeats, terrible or both and I'm too lazy to open another window and transcribe them

Blah blah GMG blah blah Beyond Divinity for free blah blah 20% voucher.

Also, JC2 DLC is now 75% off. Drop a quarter and get yourself a hovercraft!
