Default Game deals

Discuss the really good game deals in this topic.

Digital distributors:
Thanks to eisprinzessin:
Numerous platforms have followed Humble Bundle's lead. They are a great opportunity to learn about games, you might have never noticed. Some include game soundtracks, chiptune music, etc.
Most offer a newsletter subscription to inform you about new bundles. Indie Game Bundles tracks Active Bundles. You can check for current offers on Is There Any Deal, too.

I have used only Steam, and I think it is the best. I haven't buy anything for very long time, but even the program itself is very good, because you can communicate, and even speak with a microphone with our friends same time you are playing.

I have bought very good games, mostly Valve-games, but sometimes there are so good offers, that I feel like "this is something I have to buy!" I felt that way when I saw the summer prices of 2010, some games could be bought with 1€, amazing...

Edit: And I almost forgot, that the downloading speed with Steam is amazing!

As for deals, Gamersgate has been running a summer sale the past two weeks, and they just started their third week today. Some alright deals if you are after some of these games. Curious what the fourth week will bring.

This probably doesn't match well for an ARPG crowd, but if you enjoy RTS games, Men of War for $3 is a freaking steal. It is quirky a bit and has some silly voice acting, but the game itself is fairly impressive with the amount of detail in it.

Well, it's better than Direct2Drive's deal, who offers the game 50% off for a total of $7.50...

On Gamersgate, Spellforce 2 Gold seems interesting. That's the game plus its expansion. At 5 bucks, it's currently cheaper than the game itself or its expansions

Steam currently offers Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood for 2.49. Pretty cheap, it seems interesting as well. I'm more concerned with time than with money for this title though.

Get Games is european so I'm not sure if they sell to 'rest of the worlders', but they have a sale going as well.

http://www.getgamesgo.com/catalogue/browse/1c-sale

The only one that catches my attention off the bat is King's Bounty for £2.5 though it's not including Armored Princess (which is a standalone, "more of the same but generally better" kinda deal), however UFO afterlight and aftershock are two games I would play obsessively and intensively when I was into them.

Agreed, the game actually has pretty solid reviews. For that price you pretty much have to buy it. I know I am

Street Fights x Tekken is $12.50 on Steam but only for Russians. Are there any Russian friends who can help a brother out?
