    GMG is giving away Sniper: Ghost Warrior for free! Hurry while it lasts!

    Their servers are overloaded, so just keep refreshing. I got in and out with the free game in 15 minutes.

    This copy is not redeemable on Steam!

    Thanks for the heads up DRevan

    After trying for about 20 mins managed to get it
    It crashed on the the checkout page, but then showed in my games list on GMG :D :D

    Another game added to my ever expanding backlog :p :p

    Thanks! Got me a copy.

    Also picked up Shogun 2 for $2.50 today from Amazon (had a $5 credit coupon).

    Good deals for me today.

    Best part is, that I was able to trade in last year's free games from GMG, so I was able to get Fear 3 for free too :D

    Yeah, shogun 2 was great deal :D :D
    At least some vouchers this winter were useful, which is more than I can say for Valve :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    That's a great deal, you cheeky bugger :p :p

    Full game is at 7.50 today, but if you bought a game before hand that gave you a $5 promo code you can apply that to get it for 2.50

    Here's the link, but I think it might be sold out now sorry :(

    Edit - ninja'd :p
