GameFly

GameFly's offering a 20% discount on most games with the coupon code GFDMAR20. Being outside the US, I can't verify exactly which games it works on, so I'll just list the pre-coupon prices and hey! you'll probably get them cheaper:

Total War: Shogun 2

Amazon

Amazon's offering $30 in credit to spend on other 2K Games releases if you pre-order BioShock Infinite. Something to save for Grand Theft Auto V, perhaps. Plus, regular discounts:

Ridge Racer Unbounded

GamersGate

Until 1am Pacific on Sunday: Weekend:

Saints Row 2

Get Games

Quantum Conundrum

GOG

As well as a regular sale, GOG's running a promo where you can get 80% off games including Legend of Grimrock, Alan Wake, Pid, and the Witcher--as long as you buy 5.

Legend of Grimrock

Green Man Gaming

If you pre-order BioShock Infinite for $59.99, GMG will also give you $15 in credit, a copy of BioShock, plus your choice of BioShock 2, Civilization V, Mafia II, Spec Ops: The Line, or The Darkness II. GMG has a big old indie weekend sale with many more games than I've listed.

Strike Suit Zero

Groupees

Groupees is offering a bundle of Wadjet Eye adventure games. Paying at least $1 will get you Gemini Rue, Puzzle Bots, and The Shivah. $5 or more also gets you Resonance, The Blackwell Legacy, Blackwell Unbound, The Blackwell Convergence, and The Blackwell Deception. When a few more bundles are sold, it'll throw in Da New Guys too. Most games can activate on Steam.

Resonance

Humble Bundle

Super Hexagon

Impulse

Impulse has loads of Sega games on sale, including the Warhammer 40,000 games Sega picked up from THQ. With only 33% off most, though, the prices are a fair bit higher than we've seen in many other Sega sales. You're probably better off waiting.

The Cave

Indie Royale

Pay what you want for AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, Cognition Episode 2: The Wise Monkey, Fieldrunners, Snapshot, and Snuggle Truck. Most activate on Steam.

The "AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!" once broke the layouts of affilate sites which listed our headlines

      So, Ubi runs a deal on games that are at least 2 years old to begin with or suck anyway? Pfffttt...still waiting for FC3 to hit that magic $20-$25 point.

        Your opinion is surprisingly negative for such nice deals. Rayman Origins is a great deal, and a great game.

        ANNO 2070 definitely doesn't suck. Buy it!!! But did it come out two years ago? Wow, if it did, then it sure as hell didn't feel like it.

          I believe it came out in late 2011, so a year and a half maybe. It's an awesome game, as is Rayman Origins.

            Anno 2070 IS a good deal...that I already picked up on the holiday sale. And you very well may be right on Rayman...but I'm not so much a fan of platformers...especially on PC.

            My though was how they threw From Dust (which I've heard is probably the worst port of a game ever made) , Ruse (sucked), AC Revelations (old), and so on.

            BTW, anyone know why Steam pulled Dawn of Discovery?

        Anno 2070 in that deal is killer. Who cares how old it is, it's an awesome game.

          If you could "Check In" to Anno 2070, would you be king?

          Expansion was released just last October, I believe.

          I watched some beginner vid on it, because I wasn't sure. I kind of felt like I would prefer one of the earlier games because of the setting, but they're not on Steam, so I will likely get 2070.

          so far it is fun. mission oriented, I didn't know that. good stuff :D

            I really REALLY enjoy the fact that Anno has a substantial amount of mission-orientated content. You can also play continuous mode which is more free-form. I'm not much of a creative/artist so while I sort of enjoy things like SimCity, I'm always at a loss for what to actually do. Not so with Anno.

          Still have thousands of things to do in 1404 and that game's setting is way more compelling to me than 2070.

      Good deal on Rayman, still haven't picked it up. Might pay $10 (plus price) for the PS3 version which is also on sale I believe.

      I never knew an Ace Combat game had come out for the PC. Looking into it, it seems it was released on consoles in 2011 but only just came out on the PC in January 2013.

      Looks fun and I've never played Ace Combat so I'll give it a go. Thanks for posting this deal.

      Ass Creed 3 is also on sale for $32 on Steam until the 28th. Guess its low enough in price for now to pick up.

        I'm hoping all the Assassin's Creed games go on a daily deal.

        Want to pick up Brotherhood, Revelations and 3. Been tempted to skip to the 3rd one but i kind of want to play them two so i'm caught up with the story.

          I've played all of them except for The Shivah and Da New Guys. Gemini Rue and Resonance are the stand out titles from the bunch with the scifi-noir Gemini Rue probably being one of the best adventure games in a long time. Resonance tries a few new things and they mostly work, and it's also beautiful for low resolution art.

          The Blackwell series is good but somewhat uneven. The voice work isn't as good, but it improves. I think the third game is probably the best of those four, but in general they improve as they go on, and build upon what came before. They're cute.

          Puzzlebots is probably the most different game, as it is a pretty light hearted comedy where you control small robots that take place of your normal verb/icon interactions. Each robot specializes in a specific action.
