There is a demo for Rush on Steam. I liked it quite a bit and bought it, can't go wrong for the price, I was planning to get it at the end of the sale regardless if it was a daily deal or not.

doom pack doesn't look bad either just to have a spare digital copy of it all.

I don't have either of the M&B games and have been waiting for this sale to pick them up. Based on stuff I've read on this forum and others, the original (not Warband) M&B still has some great mods for it that have not (or may not) get updated for Warband.

Is that still the case?

hmm, had my eyes on those King's Bounty games for some time now. might have to do it for 8 bucks. I played the demo for armored princess...couldn't quite figure out what was going on, though. I'm guessing the demo doesn't exactly start you out vanilla.

also thinking about Mount & Blade. downloaded that demo some time ago but haven't played it. not sure I'd have time for any of these...

I will probably be getting 3 copies of that crysis pack tonight - 1 for me, 1 for my son and 1 for my daughter.

Great games, they are like HOMM3. I personally just need Crossworlds and would have paid $5 just for it, sadly it is cheaper to buy the whole pack then the one seperate :(

ME1 buyers, don't forget to grab your free DLC. I'm pretty sure it's not included in the Steam release, but the DLC installer plays well with Steam.

I couldn't resist a cute girl in a metal bikini, so King's Bounty Platinum is downloading now . . .

King's Bounty is cool, but I hate the combat and the fact you have to move around to go attack. Ugh.

Cool, thanks. I've probably grabbed everything I want already anyway.

Why don't I see the sale page today? I thought it was going on until new years as well. :$

More than likely they are updating the sales page. Usually at 1:00:01pm they are ready to go with the new sales, but it looks like today something went wrong.

Also, today is disappointing. Why are no Valve games ever the Daily Deal (except Counter-Strike)?

Well I picked up PVZ for $4. Considering Dead Space, but probably not going to go for it.
