Might as well mention these as well, since they're also part of the weekend Steam sale: Need for Speed
Shift 2 Unleashed - $14.99
Hot Pursuit - $10.20
Undercover - $2.49
Shift - $5.00
I haven't played any of these before, although I bought Hot Pursuit. It seems to have good reviews and a lot of recommendations. Apparently, it's more of an Arcade type rather then a Sim. If you prefer sim-type, then the Shift series is better. Judging from reviews, Undercover doesn't seem to be particularly impressive.

Hot Pursuit is by Criterion, the developers of the Burnout series (which contains some of the all-time best arcade racers). The cars don't drive like Burnout, of course, being a Need for Speed game.
Anyway, Criterion is awesome. That's the point here.
They're really doing their best to get me to buy this before its time.
My computer's not really up to it, and I really owe Civ 4 a lot more time. Haven't really played it since I bought it on Steam (previously had a disc copy)
$12.50 is nice for Civ V, but I imagine it'll be even cheaper around Cyber Monday / Christmas sale week. That should give us some more time with Civ IV.
