It's a little misleading. I think Max Payne 3 is $38 everyday from a variety of sites. So yes, it's 50% off retail but it hasn't been that price ever. In fact it's $30 right now from Amazon.

Amazon started the MP3 sale during the week at that price, before that you were lucky to get it for $50. So it isn't really misleading, especially with such a new game that many places haven't had any deals on it yet.

That's the community choice flash sale. The pre-set flash sales are below that.

Thanks. Thats not really a good deal, you save less than $4.

Well I just dropped another $8, not bad. I'll wait to see if Anno 2070 drops anymore before July 22nd as $28 is just too much for my broke ass :D

Anno 2070 can not be activated on Steam. The only way to get it on Steam is to buy it there. As for the game itself, I enjoy it a lot. If you like those type of games you will enjoy it.

AMDZen - I read their FAQ. It stated that you are emailed an activation key after purchase, and that the binarys are downloaded thru their site. It did not mention anything else for installation

Thanks. I think maybe I'll try it then.

Bought both force unleashed games and am now pissed to find that they are both frame capped at 30fps. Who the heck does that to a pc game?

Been perving over Max Payne 3 since release, seen a couple of deals but none come close to what is offered now; £15, that's half price of a AAA+ game that's been out just over a month. I can't cope with that and I am on a saving spree, I caved in as I could not resist.

I'm still holding strong not getting anything yet, the community deals have been working against me so far. :\ Oath in Felghana I'll definitely get for $5 at some point, that's definitely worth it.

Current votes are on FEAR 3, Metro 2033, and Bioshock 2.
I already got FEAR 3 as a Steam Gamefly deal for the same price, so don't need that one. :p The first Bioshock I thought was overrated as is, guess I'll vote for Metro.
