I think the worst part is making you click again to get the free DLC.
DLC price gouging like that, is a perfect example of what is wrong with video gaming today!

It’s their payback for us killing the industry.
Lunar Flight is 75% off on Steam until May 25th. That drops the price down to $2.50.

Oh wow. Thanks for mentioning that, hadn’t noticed. I’m definitely going to grab a copy at $2.50
Edit: Thank you thank you thank you for mentioning that. Did the first mission and the game’s absolutely fantastic!

Yeah good catch that wasn’t showing up for me. £1.75 can’t go wrong really.

If you like top down shooters and haven’t yet played Jamestown, it is Steam’s daily deal for another 12 hours or so. I got a lot of replay value trying to beat the harder difficulty levels using various ships, and I tend not to replay games much so that is unusual for me.

Jagged Alliance: Back in Action for 19.99 at Gamersgate.
I’m playing D3 right now, but is it worth taking time from D3 to play JA?
Did they ever fix Delve Deeper? I bought it during the Xmas Steam Sale and wanted deserately to enjoy it, but it kept crashing anytime you’d pick a particular tile or make a certain move. The forums were full of people complaining about the same thing (all Windows 7 x64 folks) and nothing ever seemed to be done about it. I ended up abandoning the game.

Think of it like this. You’ll be playing JA:BiA and your mind will no doubt be find itself going through the motions of “if I spend another five minutes with Diablo 3, I might find a better piece of armour to equip my character, making him or her look better and kill faster…” And then you’ll go to Diablo 3 and JA will be forgotten, relegated to the backlog.
With the latest patch that dropped for Jagged Alliance: Back in Action, it apparently has become the sort of game it should have been upon release. It has a few improved UI aspects to it now, as well as a couple of extra features. Is it worth getting? Yes if you were a fan of JA2 and want to try a different take on how it plays (ie: real time planning). However, I’m sure it will go on sale again in future.

Can you activate this on Steam? I’ve been reluctant to buy from Gamersgate after being burned with the whole Impulse–>Gamestop and Direct2Drive–>Gamefly baloney.

Blasphemy! You’re missing out by not going with Gamersgate they often have a lot of good deals and they’re my number 2 behind Steam.
Which of the Assassin’s creed should I get - the 1st 2nd or 3rd?
If you’re only going to play one, play the second one (Assassin’s Creed 2: No Subtitle), as I think it has be best mix of the things that make the games enjoyable. There’s a case to be made for starting at the beginning with one and going from there, but I think if you haven’t played any of them by 2012, it seems unlikely that the series has a strong pull on you, and therefore I’d just go with the second one.
I’m running Win 7 x64 and Delve Deeper is working for me. I did have one crash, when I was trying out using the 360 controller. Since then I’ve stuck with mouse and keyboard, and no crashes.
Yeah, grab Assassin’s Creed 2. It’s the start of the storyline that continues through AssCreedBrotherhood (which might arguably be the best of them) and Revelations (which is easily the weakest of them.)
If you find yourself really liking 2, then it’s cool that hey, Brotherhood is out there and worth playing, and then you can flip a coin and see if you want to close out that trilogy or not from there.
Whoever was hoping for a daily deal on Anno 2070, Steam’s got it for half-off right now.
I’m debating on this one. As I recall, this now has the 3 activation limit (with non-graphics card hardware changes taking up a new one), and that every 30 days after you run out you get one added back to your regular total. Seems fairly reasonable for a Ubifail game (better than “always on,” at least). It’s still a little pricey for my blood, but I’ve been looking fondly upon the game from a distance for some time now.

How reliable is Ubisoft these days? I’ve heard some horror stories about dropped connection or inaccessible server that made the DRM a real pain.
Does the gameplay more than make up for the dreaded DRM? Also are the DLCs aesthetic or do they add something to the gameplay?
