Check what DRM may be present before you purchase. E.g. the Dead Space 1 & 2 package is on Origin *not* Steam.

There's a cheap-ass gamer code on some of those, too.

Best of sale to me:
-Blacklight Tango Down 4-pack for $3.
-Last Remnant for $5. Steam stopped putting this on sale. Its not good but if you refuse to take out your PS3 and you have a jrpg itch...? Maybe its worth playing? Someone did a good BiiF on it once that sums up how its sort of not bad but has lots of bad bits.
-Gyromancer $5. I remember some loving this and calling it better than Puzzle Quest in every way and some people really really hating it.
-DC Universe Lightning Strikes unlock $4. If you haven't played DC Universe its actually a pretty shallow but fun run around and mash mouse to kill things super hero beat em up / diablo / CoH. However they gate many of the "powersets" behind cash shop. This is one of them for half off.


Also I have a question, there are about 20 Disciples games on sale. What's going on there and which if any are not shit?

I grabbed Last Remnant for $3.75 after the discount and tbh its much better than I was expecting. The combat system is pretty cool. I'm pretty sure I'm going to hack myself infinite money though because I hate being the chosen one to save the world but too broke to buy an axe.

I rally liked The Last Remnant - it's one of the few JrPGs I've finished. Like all of them it has a totally nonsensical story, takes forever to get going and has grinding and pointless battles up the wazoo. But it's battle system is really interesting and clever and I found it hugely enjoyable.

Does the PC version have the same terrible framerate problems as the 360? I remember playing it on the console when it first came out but the battles ran so poorly that I quit in frustration.

No, the PC version is really good.  It has some questionable issues with the design, but they really cleaned the Pc version up from the console, from what I understand. 

I bored of it after awhile and never went back.  But I see the potential.

I had to force vsync and some other options but it was an easy fix and once I did the game has run pretty much flawlessly except in I think one area and for a split second in a couple of cutscene load-ins. Zero fps issues. Great combat system. Really needs a way to con monsters though I never know if I should gather all of them for phat loots or pick them off one by one.
