Direct2Drive Anniversary Sale - lots of new $5 PC games

[A Black Falcon]

Limited time offers, of course... and with DRM, but for this price you can't complain.

It's in the third week now, but a bunch of the titles from the first two weeks are still available, and there are still several more weeks to go, with new titles each week.

I'm seriously thinking of getting Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Drakensang, NWN2: Storm of Zehir, and maybe but probably not Elven Legacy... lots of good stuff there though. The original NWN2 I'd particularly recommend for anyone who likes PC RPGs at all!

Well, I picked up NWN2: Storm of Zehir and BioShock. :)

I was hoping for this one...

Supreme Commander Gold -- AWESOME! Supreme Commander is the best non-Blizzard RTS of the decade, and I'd very, very highly recommend it. It's from the designer of Total Annihalation and is very good. Plus you won't see this one again for $5 with the game and expansion for quite a while... there are some other good RTSes this week too, most prominently World in Conflict Gold and Company of Heroes Gold, but I doubt I'll get those other two... maybe WiC, but probably not. I've played it a little, it's fun but I prefer RTSes where you actually build buildings and stuff, while that one's units-only, like Ground Control or Myth or things like that. Good game, but I prefer more traditional kinds of RTS.

Oh, I got Drakensang: The Dark Eye as well. It's a German RPG based on a pen & paper game only available there... sounded interesting enough to be worth trying, for that price.
