Microsoft is redesinging Games for Windows with new marketplace, there are some promotions like Borderlands for 9,99$ or Osmos 2,49$. There might be others, but they seem to be lacking a category for "special offers" atm.

Wow, it even looks like the Steam website...

Age of Empires 3 is also only ?0.10/$0.10 on GFW. :D

I used 10 MS points to get it from my Live account, I might be on a mac, but hey, at least it will be there if I want to play it again.

I'm probably never going to have time to play this, but for $0.10 I see no reason not to buy it.

I see a reason. Not being able to buy the game in the first place is a pretty good one. And here the entertainment division of Microsoft thinks it can take over the DD world. Like hell no they won't.

Severely things going on with Steam. First, from November 24 to the 29 Steam will be giving 30 random people the top five games on their wish list every day for free!

http://store.steampowered.com/get/

And then they have gift pack's of various games on sale, too. Of course a single copy of the games are on sale as well:

http://store.steampowered.com/give/

The deals change daily it looks like. And there is also various other daily deals with great sales from 33 to 75% off! To many to list.

And 10.20$ on Steam as a daily deal ;)

Steam wins. Didn't notice that. By the way, those indie packs are really worth every cent. :)

By the way, I'm not sure if its the GamersGate version, but there is a patch for Alpha Protocol which removes the DRM and activation limit used in the game. It is probably for the GamersGate version, but as I said, I'm not sure.

The new daily deal is Shadowrun for $0.99

http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-CA/dailydeal/day2/

Is that game any good? I doubt anyone plays it online anymore.

I'm in europe add can't add Shadow Run to my cart. Is this offer locked outside of canada ?
