Just Cause 2 is $4.99 right now on the Flash Sale.
I've played it once some time ago, and it's kinda good.
I recommend getting it.

EDIT: Also, something I'd like to see with 50%+ off would be the preorder of Orcs Must Die! 2.
I really liked that tower defense game, and the second one will have co-op.
 
These deals have been sucking lately. There's nothing worth buying for me yet besides Mirrors Edge and Trine 2. I wanna see Sonic Episode 2 for sale.

i know where you're coming from, wouldn't mind seeing a Sonic sale so i could get adventure seeing as the fans have fixed it for Sega now
 
HEADS UP THE NEXT COMMUNITY CHOICE IS TORCHlight starting in about half an hour
I've heard good things about this game and I'm skimming through some reviews now. A quick question though: Are the dungeon layouts randomized, or is just the loot randomized?

The dungeons are randomized, here is a copy and paste from a review

Torchlight incorporates a random dungeon generating algorithm, so the first time you enter any dungeon it is unlikely to be the same as anytime you played it before. I would suggest those players more skilled crank the difficulty above the default ‘medium’ setting however as it is not really that challenging, well unless you are a n00b. You also can’t alter the difficulty on the fly so if you play for 10 hours and realise its not fun anymore then you have to restart the whole game from scratch, which isn’t ideal.

Exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks!

And my games list grows by 1 yet again...

Same, you get Torchlight 1 if you pre-purchase Torchlight 2, so I'm just waiting for that.

I'm just waiting for a sweet deal for Arma 2. Looks like my dreams won't come true this time.

Wow, 2 games for the price of 1?
 
not a steam deal here, but I thought it ay do some good for others to know, right now GOG are having a promo on there WItcher series, selling the games as low as 66% if you buy both or 50% for each one by themelves. I just managed to get it cheaper than steam and drm free. http://www.gog.com/promo/the_witcher_series__gem__promo for more info

Just Cause 2 is stupid cheap, $3.74. All the DLC combined totals $2.18. I heard this game was somewhat fun and also that a fan mod allows online multiplayer now? (its in beta?) Anyone know anything about that?

Is the DLC worth plunking down a few extra dollars for? Considering picking this up, but I just bought Saints Row: The Third, so... dunno.
