    There may be a thread already for this but its not on the first couple of pages so I thought I would let everyone know that D2D is in the middle of a 5th anniversary sale. Every week they drop 10 titles to $5 for that week only, I looked last week but didn't see anything really worth purchasing. Not so this week.

    Bioshock $5
    Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena $5
    Stalker 1 $5
    Sid Mier's Pirates $5

    All great games all 4 for only $20 this rivals the steam deals imho.

    Good stuff. Just picked up Saint's Row 2 for $5.

    This, and the GoGamer 48 hour madness sale a week ago, I'm gonna be knee deep in new games. 6 new games for ~$20 total.

    uh, in a word? YES
    free-roaming, tension-building, faction-warring, post-apocalyptic FPS/RPG with horror elements, sci-fi, and enough eye-candy to stay current, you'll spend many a dark night engrossed in this game.

    It is a great game. For $5 you cannot go wrong. Just install all the patches to get a smooth experience.

    I ordered Saints Row 2. I'm really excited because I didn't even know it existed. I loved the first game and I hope my expectations for the second game will come true.
