Already got the Orange Box for 13.99 EUR on some internet shop, that's the better deal. (HL2, Ep1 + 2, Portal, TF2)

Most of these Sega games coming out are totally NOT deals. They should have just ported the entire Sonic/Sega collection thing to PC and be done with it. I had it last year on 360, its a pretty good collection, but as someone who was never really that big of a Sega fan (I was a Nintendo guy all the way as a kid) I wasn't interested in most of the games at all. Mainly what I played was Sonic 1 & 2, and SoR 1 & 2.
I mean, hey, there is some decent games there. Golden Axe I used to play the crap out of with my cousin as a kid. Echo and Shinobi are classics to a lot of people, even though I couldn't really get into playing them. Comix Zone is actually a cool concept sorta game I played some of I wouldn't mind going through eventually. Personally, I just don't think Sega's games are all that or hold up that well outside of a certain few.
And Sonic 3D Blast is freaking horrible, no one should buy that game, its the only game I've EVER played that literally made me sick playing it from the camera. You make the slightest twitch and the camera is jerking around, it just had the worst effect on me trying to play it.
Break out Streets of Rage and Sonic packs and I might be in for them. Or even better, start porting some of the crap off Dreamcast out there.

Charlie's Games: Irukandji and Bullet Candy Perfect (shoot-em-up games) for pay-whatever-you want ($2 minimum, or you can pay $1 minimum for any one of the games). It's an old promo though (end of April), dunno why I never heard about it. It's also a permanent deal, so take your time.

FFS, couldn't GG put on sale S&SASR last week? I bought it from Steam.
Anyway, if you like kart racing games, it is a very good one and well worth the money. I played all the EASY level grand prix(prixes?) without much trouble, but then on Advanced (there is one more for 3 in total) difficulty the game gets hard fast. Basically if you don't use bonuses and turbo from drifts most of the time, you are not going to win a single race. Thankfully it is a good enough game I don't mind.
What I am trying to say, get it. Just a warning if you want to play online, you can't. The PC version supports multiplayer only as splitscreen 3 or 4 I don't remember, players.
So if you got to have online, get the 360 or PS3 version instead.
As for Dark Void, I got it a couple of months ago on that D2D sale for like 5 bucks or something. Don't listen to the negative reviews. It is a very good third person action adventure/shooter. The graphics and sound are awesome, the setting is superb, the shooting elements is very good. A very good single player game.

Can't say I agree. Though it's been more than a decade since I last played it, I remember liking the PC version of the game... That makes me wonder: Are they emulating the game, or rereleasing the old Windows version in some modified state?

Same loyalty discount for Tropico 3. For those who were mad enough to pass it up on Steam for half this price.

Any DRM? It's 3.44€ here so with the Greece crisis that seems like a normal exchange rate and I'd jump at it (or how the terminus is).
