Double post, but does anyone have a preference in the next choice? I have all of them already, so I'll give away my vote.

And buy Company of Heroes. Its amazing.

I just gave away my vote to Oblivion but I'm not sure which one of those already had a fairly decent discount. I'm looking forward to the next set of choices.

Same. Peeps should just pre-order Torchlight 2 if they want to play Torchlight. (And TL2 is crazy good and umpteen times better, so it's a win-win.)

I'm playing Binary Domain with a 360 controller and performance is fine, but there is an awful lack of customization. I dig the game and I normally don't like cover-based third-person shooters (don't like Gears really). There's something very classic about it, very 1st-party-era Sega. I don't really like the dialogue system but I do like the characters. Shame their reactions and your demeanor can be hard to predict, because it's a neat idea. Seems like the game is love it or hate it, but there's a demo for those interested. Not going to defend it too much, because it is rough around the edges.

Not relevant anymore, but yeah. Torchlight 2 is a ton better than the first game. I think the first game is kinda garbage because it's just so repetitive.

Binary Domain is not a good game. Its a shitty Gears clone with a poorly optimized PC port. Mouse acceleration with no way to turn it off. Sanctum is good though, and maybe if everyone buys it, it'll stop winning over other games in this sale.

The mouse acceleration problem was fixed a while ago now. The menus are a bit easier to navigate now too, but still not perfect. The game has a pretty slow start but ends up being pretty good.
