    Although not a remake as such, there is a 'Ultra High Quality Mod' available, which adds graphics improvements, including:
    The mod can be found here: Deus Ex Ultra High Quality Mod

    I bought Deus Ex a year ago but never got around to finishing it, just played maybe an hour's worth... was a bit spoiled by the dated feel, but I really should play this.. haha. Like the image above I might just reinstall it since I got it on steam.

    batman was the best action game of 2009 imho.
    the 22usd is worth it even for batman alone.

    Not sure about Just Cause, but Batman was an extremely fun game, with high replay value.

    If you haven't picked it up yet, I would take this opportunity to do so. Was a really fun game.

    Apparently Just Cause is -$2, since the package is cheaper than standalone Batman. Oh well. I save money, and I get a gratuitous extra game.

    Almost like Valve said, if you take Just Cause for free, we'll give you 2 dollars off Batman.

    The original DoW anthology is going for USD19.99. Would have gotten it if I hadn't have to rebuy L4D2.

    EDIT: What times do they usually refresh their deals?

    That's the 33% reduced price for me. It's still $50 originally. I played the beta and didn't care for it. I was really hyped for this game and then was really disappointed. Not nearly as good as they promised.

    i have completed the Aliens one, i like how some of the places are the same throughout and it has 1 basic story in which all of the species are all connected so if you complete one it will drive you on to discover the full story, i would give the SP a 8.5/10, its a bit on the shorter side and the aliens and predator games aint as scary as the marines one, though i jumped a few times as Predator but none at all on Aliens even though i enjoyed it

    Updated with L4D2 and Everquest Starter Pack.

    Feel free to create a separate thread in the gaming forum - it'll probably get more views that way.

    EDIT: FYI there is a group buy thread here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=470282
