    I searched the forum but i couldn't find a thread for D2D. So since there are threads like this for Steam, Impulse, etc I was wondering if I can keep this thread. Direct2Drive has great deals many times during the year, not just during the holidays but people miss them because they don't hear about it.

    Torchlight for $5, been meaning to grab it. Now I have a compelling reason, if it's half as fun as the demo well worth 5 bucks :D

    I enjoyed Cryostasis. It's a unique take on a shooter, where warmth is your health and it's more of a puzzle game then a "kill everything that moves" game. I thought the graphics were great, especially the effects that it used for cold, ice, etc.

    I got Cryostasis a few days ago. For the lovers of suspense and slow-paced games (fps in this case) this is an excellent deal.

    Is Cryostasis open world?? If not, how long is it? Is it linear?

    It's linear, think of it as a FPS survival-horror game with a few puzzle-solving elements thrown in.
