Apparently Sam & Max is one of the Weekend Deals $15 for the complete collection.

Looks like Deus Ex is the other weekend deal.

Looks like more money saved for me

I didn't realize this was a timed deal when I posted, my apologies.

New deal from GMG:

The THQ-5 pack for $12.49 or $9.37 with coupon. ($2.49 a piece or $1.87 a piece) Seems like a really good deal.

The 5 games are:

Metro 2033
Warhammer 40,000 - Dawn of war II
Company of Heroes
Saints Row 2
Red Faction: Guerilla

Only downside is "One key is provided which activates all 5 games. If you already own one of these games, you cannot gift it to a friend!"

Is the preorder dlc pack for Deus Ex HR worth it for $.99? I played through the game and absolutely loved it.

Weekend deals
Deus Ex Collection $59.99 $14.99
All games on sale individually for 75% off.

Sam & Max Franchise 67% off

Daily Deal
Shatter $9.99 $2.49

Anyone have an opinion on the Deus Ex DLC? Specifically "The Missing Link". How much new content is there?

It's about two or three hours. Fairly well designed, though. If you really liked the base game it's probably worth 75% off. The other DLC is fairly pointless even at the dirt cheap prices. The guns aren't really necessary or add any entertainment value to the game and the 'mini-mission' (Tracer Tong) is maybe fifteen to thirty minutes tops).

Also note Missing Link is a separate 'game' in that it isn't integrated into the base game. You boot it up and play it individually.

Mafia II is $7.49 (steamworks) at gamersgate today:

Been that price before, but IGN discount will net you a better price.

Took me 5 hours with a bunch of reloading to get all the achievements. It's a lot more stealth orientated, and there's an achievement that pushes you to use no augments or weapons, using a ton of stealth.

Awesome sounds like a winner. Thanks all.

Shatter is pretty awesome! Highly recommend that one. I liked the music a lot in particular.

As other posters have noted, I highly recommend AGAINST getting the season pass. I bought the season pass (and some other DLC) for like $4 or 5 total and I still feel ripped off. The costume/weapon DLC is pointless (though the shark gun and manapult are good for a laugh, you'll really never use them). The season pass DLC never captures the magic that even the worst missions in SRTT embodies, much less the great ones like mayor, deckers.die, etc.

This is what I wrote in an earlier thread:

That said, I just finished the 3 main content dlc (Genki bowl, Gangstas in Space, and Trouble with Clones). While SRTT was probably one of my top 3 games of last year, I could not find much joy in the new content. I feel they lacked the magic and creativity that made me love the original game, and I feel horrible for people who wanted to "support" THQ by paying full price for the season pass. This is not a good way to foster good will and confidence in a product :(

Agreed!

Shatter didn't really hold me when I picked it up last year. I played it once, getting through several levels. It was fun, but it just didn't have a hook. Worth the sale price, though.

I would buy that GMG THQ pack, but only if it had separate steam keys.

Edit:
Looks like the groupees Winter Wolves bundle is up. I mostly wanted Loren, but I think I'll buy this in a couple of days.

The first time I played it I was thinking "meh." But I recently played it a little more and have been enjoying it. It's always fun to top your friends high scores as well.

Co-sign.

Speaking of soundtracks, I realized I probably have 15-20 soundtracks purchased through Steam so far. It would be nice if there was centralized way to access all music purchases.

So the Winter Wolves bundle is up, and I'm very confused by the bonuses. If you pay $10+ you get Planet Stronghold, but if the bundle sells 5000 copies (doubtful, I know), you get Planet Stronghold again? Erm...

I want to buy, but I want to know what I'm buying into first.
