Fucking hell.  There are some good deals in there.  Notably Oblivion and Shivering Isles.  Both for just over ten bucks... I can barely fathom that.  That's like 400 hours of gameplay at a rate of.... I can't even figure that out hourly.  Really, really cheap.

Combat Mission reviewed very well, and it sounds really interesting. Turn based strategy, but you define your moves and then both sides execute them simultaneously for 60 seconds. And for $1 even if you dont like it who cares?

Sam & Max Season 1 for $6 is a steal. Prey for $1? Come on! UT3 for $10, Quake Wars for $5.

Didn't you say Jericho was good? Its also only $5.

I'm really tempted to order some stuff.

Damn, I somehow read the title as "GoG.com deals". Not that GoGamer is bad, but if I jump on this deal I have to pay shipping and wait for one of those flat and round shiny things to come in the mail. I also spent the last 15 minutes trying to see what DRM some of these games have.

I'm eyeballing:
Prey (WTF $1??!!!?!)
Jericho (violence, yes! YES!)
Vegas 2 (reminds me of Rainbow Six 3 (PC and Xbox versions) which still holds a special place in my heart)

Even if Prey and Jericho turn out to just be OK, those 3 for less than $20 will be worth it.

Some really awesome deals in there. I already got a good deal of them, though. :P

Prey's really good. We've had a few threads on it. One here, which was our biggest one.
IGN gave Prey PC a 9.0 for good reason.

Jericho's good -- I think it's severely underrated myself. I love the character switching mechanic, which I think really makes the game. The story's decent and the action's good.

I have Lost Planet - Colonies Edition -- but, ain't tried it. That edition ONLY has X-platform where PC and X360 players can play against each other on the MP over G4WL/XB Live. I do wish more games on the PC and console would do that. I wish FEAR 2 did that, since nobody seems to be playin' the MP online on the PC version (over Steam).

R6: Vegas 2 was also pretty good. I liked both Vegas games quite a bit, to say the least.

I don't need to speak on Oblivion and Shiv Isles -- both are great.

Call of Juarez is another good one. Probably the best Western-setting shooter.

I've had Hidden and Dangerous 2 for some time, back when GameStop had it on sale for like $5 -- ain't even looked at it.

About C&C, I got C&C Saga Edition (C&C First Decade + C&C3) -- ain't even looked at it.
I also own Red Alert 3 Premier Edition, which I ain't looked at -- bought it when it was $10 on sale at BB.

About Two Worlds PC, I talked about it here in this thread. I liked it quite a bit, despite performance issues, some all-over-the-place voice-ating, and limited installs with no revokes.

Recently bought BIA: Hell's Highway for $10 (with free shipping from Newegg) -- ain't tried it on this PC, since it does require Double-Core processor and since I'm playing other stuff right now -- mainly, CoD4. I might Hell's Highway on here, eventually -- you know, after I finish BIA: RTH 30 and start (and finish) BIA: Earned in Blood; whenever the hell that might be.

Whatever reputation this "Play" magazine or website had is shot after calling the movie Wanted "enthralling".  It was on the level of Snakes On a Plane stupid... really, really dumb.

As for the rest of the list, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, the Ultimate Flight Collection (IL-2 Stuvmorik), and Silent Hunters 4 are piquing my interest now.  Maybe Prey also since I never owned a legit copy and it is only $1.00

Wanted (Movie) was all style, but no substance.
Hopefully, the game's better than the movie was.

I'll wait for a price-drop on Wanted: The Game.

Prey is a great little old-school shooter with some twists that's a fantastic deal at $1.  I also thought Jericho was severely underrated.  It reviewed terribly, but as far as I'm concerned it's an awesome, if imperfect, little game.  I uploaded a video to YouTube, and if that doesn't look cool to you, there's something off in your brain somewhere.

That's a STEAL.
Even after shipping costs.
