Some great stuff this weekend. Thanks for the heads up every one.

I'd buy the Nordic bundle if it had individual keys.

Hmm, I have to re-buy the XCOM classics pack because Gamersgate refuses to load for me now, but on to some of the other stuff, how is the new XCOM? I've heard that it's super buggy and that the DLCs aren't very good, but how buggy is it really? And should I just wait for XCOM Enemy Within and hope for bug fixes in addition to extra content, or should I just buy this now and buy XCOM Enemy Within later? Also how are the Warlock: Master of the Arcane DLCs?

For you in the US isn't it a better deal to get the DLCs directly from steam? http://store.steampowered.com/sub/29106/
I'm also wondering if I should buy them. Warlock is a nice game, but buying DLCs isn't a habit of mine.

Super buggy is vastly overstated. My first playthrough I played with almost no bugs. Some instances of shooting through walls (generally in UFO's). The most annoying thing at the time was that in some UFO's the top level was a pain to target to move but that was fixed.

There's some more bugs but overall it'll be a good polished experience.

The only bug I remember encountering in XCOM EU is the one that teleports some enemies. Not sure if the latest update already fixed it. Yep, the DLCs aren't very good. Elite Soldier Pack allows you to customize your soldiers (just cosmetic changes). Slingshot just adds 3 missions and some more customization options. It's a good deal at that price ($10). I certainly won't recommend buying those DLCs at full price.

Ah yeah, the teleport bug, didn't run into that one till my second playthrough. That can be both hilarious and terrifying at the same time ^^

About the DLC, personally I can't imagine playing the game without the Elite Soldier pack. The customization is so nice for distinguishing your troops on the field. I'd say Slingshot is worth it too since it'll provide a way to get a later game weapon at a point you might still have a use for it. It came far too late in my original game imo. It's pretty cheap on the sale right now so I'd recommend that as well.

Not really, it's the same price except on Greenmangaming I can use the 20% off voucher for even more savings.

Oh.. Ok then. For me on steam shows 2.5 euros for the package.. And I wondered if in the US it's 2.5 then it's less than $3.2 and even with the 20% off you get to 3.04

Oops, actually you're right because I was looking at their prices separately.
GamersGate Daily Deal is Bleed for a single $/€/£ (75% off).

They also have a huge Mac sale going on, and a Sonic Weekend, and a Focus Home Interactive Weekend.

Are Mars: War Logs and Magrunner Dark Pulse worth 13$ each? They apparently won't be in the upcoming Focus Humble Bundle.

As I said before about the Focus sale : Stay away from ACT-Control -DRM. If you think Tagès is bad or draconian you have no idea. Don't say you have not been warned.

Personally I can only comment on Mars: WL and I would not spent $13 on it, $7 maybe, $5 is Ok IMHO, that's what I paid.
The only real crisiticism about Mag-Runner I read is that the puzzles can get insanely difficult. so $13 seems fair.
