Two days remain to grab the Humble Indie Bundle #2. Proceeds have topped $1,000,000 and now the bundle can be redeemed on Steam or Desura.
Last day to grab Atari titles from GOG.com's Holiday Sale. That includes all the D&D games, though some of the titles I listed earlier as Atari are not.
30 Days of Telltale continues with a Sam & Max action figure set for $19.95

I suppose it's okay, so long as you don't want any sort of challenge at all or to play anything resembling real poker.

Steam's Holiday Sale has begun! Now through January 2nd there will be daily deals, as well as ongoing sales.
Today's daily offerings:
Fear 2 $9.99
Oddworld The Oddbox $12.49 (Abe's Exoddus, Abe's Oddysee, Stranger's Wrath, Munch's Oddysee)
Deus Ex / Invisible War Bundle $2.99
Formula 1 2010 $19.99
Super Meat Boy $3.75
Portal $3.74 ($2.25 if you own HL2)

Bundle packs are on sale too. Collections of whole publishers as usual, but the indie packs are on sale, for $4.99
My advice, as was last year, if you want a game, check to see if it's on sale. If it isn't something crazy like 85%-off, wait to see if it will be a one-day deal, then grab it the last day of the sale if it isn't.

I wish they'd hurry up on the "A Vampyre Story" sequel. It's supposed to be the company's next game, but then they had that hit on the DS...

this is bad for me. I already spend 50$ 
for some reason I keep getting dizzy on the PC version.

Is The Witcher any good? Not sure if I'm getting it or not.
Witcher's probably worth the $5, I'd say. I'll definitely be getting me that Winterbottom, at least.
Since my laptop stinks for most games (doesn't even run TF2 or Half-LIfe 2 very well), don't think I'll be getting TOO much this year. Sim City 4 is on for $10, which might be worth it for now until I can get a better computer (which might be soon).

An update on the Humble Indie Bundle #2. Since they're doing so well, HIB1 is being added for anyone who pays more than the average donation ($7.41 as I write this). That's World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, Penumbra Overture and Samorost 2. All but the last are on Steam as well. World of Goo alone is worth the price, IMO, and I loved Samorost 2 as well. Not that the rest are slouches, I think I've heard each mentioned as the best part of the bundle.

Looks like Amazon.com is looking to get into the downloadable game market. They're offering 75%-off of select downloadable games. Nice prices on Ghostbusters, Chronicles of Riddick and more, but nothing we haven't seen elsewhere. Some stuff like Trine is bested elsewhere.

Heh. It is a good market for sellers. No 2nd hand market (so far, but that is another story) Steam has an acceptable DRM that most of us are willing to live with (Personally I love it and wouldn't mind if all my games are via steam)

The Humble Indie Bundle now includes OnLive keys for Braid and World of Goo. I'd be very shocked if any computer capable of running OnLive couldn't also handle World of Goo, but I know Braid has higher system requirements. It's an interesting notion, but I'm not sure I'll take them up on it.

I'm intrigued by this post on the Wolfire Blog (the guys behind the HIB): Can't buy the bundle, but haven't pirated it? and I'm curious, has anyone reading this thread wanted the Humble Indie Bundle, but been unable to purchase it?
ME and ME@ are pretty cheap on Amazon.co.uk right now too: Amazon.co.uk: mass effect 2 as are other games too.
