      Under the Steam deals, you have the "Borderlands 2" and the "Borderlands 2 four-pack" prices interchanged.

      Has borderlands 2 ever been sold for the retail price? I don't think I've ever seen it above $40

        Technically it's a $60 game, but even pre-orders got down to around $38.

      The Lego games on Get Games are tempting.

      Startopia on GOG too....

        Startopia is such a fun and humorous game. I'm going to buy it again when I get home.

        Are they all Steam activated? I know it only says it under Lego Lord of the Rings but the other ones either say "account activation" or "keycode activation." What exactly would that entail?

      If you don't own this, you owe it to yourself to play it. Such a great game.

        war in the north is killer, and never really felt too LOTR ish to me. Whether that is a good or bad thing who knows.

      How is CounterStrike: GO? It's been years since I've played a round of CS, and I totally missed this...

      Can anyone tell me, what are the installers like from Gamefly if they don't specifically say 'Steam' or 'Origin' (I'm Semi-Interested in The Dragon Age 2). I'm just curious what it would use to install, etc.

      Thanks
