    As long as you pay more than $1. Well, actually you can email them if you pay less saying that you can't afford one dollar and they might give you the steam keys, on a case to case basis. It seems lot of people were paying 0.01$ just to enter promotions on steam =/

    I just bought this one, though I skipped out on saints row since My laptop wont run it.

    I have some of that stuff already in my gifts section. If I buy it as a gift (somestuff I want to give here at Christmas), will it stack? This isn't on Steam directly, after all, right?

    There's only two steam codes :/
    You get Saints Row separate, but all the others just activate the game, if you already have it then they aren't turned into gifts or anything.

    I liked it. The story was very entertaining. Sort of like an adaptation of Apocalypse Now (and Heart of Darkness by extension, though being a game about war it takes more from the former), and altered a little where it counts. The game's pretty to look at, and the setting is appropriately desolate and deranged. Gameplay wise, I guess it was a standard cover-based third-person shooter. Like Mass Effect without the powers. That was good enough for me, I'm not too picky about that sort of thing. It wasn't a long game, roughly six hours give or take, but I'd think that's more than enough for just five dollars. I bought it for more than that and don't really regret it.

    EDIT: The deal looks to be over now.

    So when is the next steam christmas thing coming up? I want to get the THQ bundle so I can gift it to someone here. I remember last year, someone gifted me a game, and I want to pay it forward.

    My guess December 14th.

    I think that was when it hit last year as well.

    You can get the new dlc for XCOM for 30% off at gmg with the code: GMG30-DEC01-ARFC9
    That will bring the cost below $5. I haven't played the base game, so I don't really know if the dlc is good, but the game seems to be popular here. Unfortunately the code only lasts until 1200 GMT 12/5. So you have less than 10 hours.

    Here's a referral link if you want a couple extra dollars: http://www.greenmangaming.com/?gmgr=qafuriju

    For those who bought the THQ humble bundle, Titan Quest is now included in it as is the Path to War dlc for Red Faction: Armageddon.

    So does that mean the games are automatically loaded into our steam accounts or do the previous purchasers need to do something?

    Just browse back to your Humble Bundle keys page. There will be two new keys to retrieve and activate.

    You need to go back to your bundle page and there will be 2 more steam keys there.

    Edit: Damn! ninja'd! :(

    And yet another game has been added to the THQ bundle. This time, it's Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War - GOTY Edition. Free to anyone who already bought a bundle, and for those who give an above-average contribution on a new purchase.

    Arkham Asylum for 4.87$ after you use the voucher WINTR-SRVEY-42012.

    Edit: It's not Arkham Asylum. It's Arkham City. :|
