Yep, I just picked up GTA4. I also got The Witcher Enhanced/Director's Cut for $13.59. I'm considering Mirror's Edge too at that $5 price, even though I don't know much about it.

Mirror's Edge is absolute genius imho! Although I must admit I played it on console, so I don't know how well the pc version plays.

What I meant was that the console version took quite a while to master, while the PC version might be too easy due to the mouse-keyboard controls.

I wish I had bought it.

I'm looking for GTA 4 on steam deals but i can't find it even for the normal price. They have sold it just for a while?

It is not sold in your region (on steam). On Gog.com there was another gamer in Brasil who wanted to buy GTA 4 on steam and had to seek the aid of a US/Canada resident to buy and gift it to him through steam. There is a thread about it on the gog.com general forum. Its dedicated to helping people get around the steam currency/region blocks.

I was thinking of getting RFG too, but its had some nightmare reports on the steam forums for stability. The steam version still hasn't been updated with the latest official patch. I did pick up Armoured Princess (the sequel to King's Bounty) for $10. Chuffed.

Ohhh, I see. I'll check that thread on gog.com. About RFG, what a shame, I think I'll wait then.

Thank you Crunchy!

I do love Steam's insane sales. If I hadn't got such a preference for physical, retail copies then I'd probably be spending like mad right now. I definitely recommend checking out Torchlight, Braid, Trine and World of Goo for some non-adventure discounts, although you might be best to wait until the very last day of the sales, just incase they include anything you want during their daily special deals.

Kind of annoying that you need to be there when the counter switches over. Some days (maybe all?) they've had deals that only lasted the first few hours of the one day sale. Prey got pulled hours after that day's sale started (yesterday). Today, Max Payne 1 and 2 where on sale for less than $3 each and they ran out hours after Today's deals started.
