Amazon is putting up a THQ Action Pack for $14.99. Includes Metro 2033, Darksiders, Nexuiz, Red Faction: Armageddon (with DLC) and Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

Note that it's not live as of this posting. Supposed to go live today tomorrow (July 8th) though. Nice thing about the Amazon packs versus the Steam bundles is that, since Amazon just gives you the individual Steam keys, you can give extras to your friends rather than just "wasting" the game. Is Darksiders any good?

Mafia II is $11.25 on GMG with the "25OFF-ALLTH-EGAME" voucher code on top of its sale price
RAGE: Special Edition is $26.23 with voucher code
Worms: Reloaded is $5.09 with voucher code
Dead Island: GOTY edition is $15 with voucher code

Metro 2033 was a good game in my opinion although it's one of those games that habitually goes on sale for $4.99. I already own RF:A but have yet to play it.

Anyone play Sniper Elite V2? $20 at GetGamesGo is a nice price for it given how new it is although I'm skeptical I'll commit to it since I have enough stuff to play already.

Darksiders was on sale a while back for five bucks, that's when I picked it up. I just started playing it last week and am a few hours in. It's not bad, but I'm glad I got it cheap, I would have been annoyed to pay full price for the game. Best description I can come up with is God of War lite.

This is possibly a complete list of games that will be discounted during the Steam Summer Sale. Grain of salt and all that while you browse all 116 pages.

You can trade in digital games?

The EU ruled that it is legal to trade digital games, so it's only a matter of time.

They already make things cost numerically the same in euros and usd. That should more than make up the 'lost' trading money.

I forsee them pricing it (or attempting to price it) at a value that optimizes price (x) buyers (-) minimal costs rather than a higher amount due to redistribution rights. That pricing strategy is basically why they are making so much of direct distro sales.

People are much more likely to trade in a $50 game than a ~$5-20 game they got on sale. I do see trade in values dropping, even if the volume picks up from ease of use.

Alan Wake at GamersGate is $10 for the regular edition, $12 for Collector's Ed.

Empire & Napoleon Total War GOTY dual pack for $7.49 at Impulse. Steam activated.

Not on sale yet, but the Amazon DD rep said elsewhere that Sniper Elite v2 will be on sale for $14.99 later today.

Edit: This sale is live now.

Very few games out there that im even sort of interested in. I would go for a 20 dollar skyrim (doubtful) but thats really about it. My bank account should be safe this time.
