Do you know how many cups of coffee you can get for $5?
One. Next question?
Today's Daily Deal is Victoria II. £5.09 / $6.79.
Also, the Weekend Deal is 66% of all Warhammer 40,000 titles. Quite a few there! Here's the list.
Dawn of War (Gold - includes original game + Winter Assault) - £3.39 / $6.79 Dawn of War: Dark Crusade - £3.39 / $6.79 Dawn of War: Soulstorm - £3.39 / $6.79 Dawn of War II - 6.79, whatever your currency (grr) Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising - 6.79, whatever your currency (grr) Dawn of War II: Retribution - 10.19, whatever your currency (grr) Space Marine - £10.19 / $16.99 (so you'd be better off getting it on GreenManGaming if you're in the US)
I got 1-7 already from that Telltale bundle a while back, and I haven't got 8.
King's Quest 8 does not exist. The Mask of Eternity is an illegitimate bastard of a video game. Unless you want to buy a game that will make you want a handgun for dinner, I say no.
I can neither confirm nor deny from first-hand experience that Mask of Eternity is a festering pile of suck, but I do heartily agree that it is not KQ8. It is merely KQ:MoE; a vaguely King's Quest-associated spin-off that warrants being overlooked/ignored when considering the series.
I've gone and highlighted the ones that require Steam. Also important to note that Just Cause 2 needs DirectX 10, so if you're still using WinXP, you cannot play it.
Also, yes - there is no price conversion, so if something's listed as $5, it'll also be £5. Which is complete and utter bullshit and GetGamesGo needs some serious slapping across the face for it.
Finally, RetroVortex can't seem to spell the word 'Siege'. Minor nitpick through!

GreenManGaming has some decent offers as well. Both Dead Spaces, Dragon Age: Origins (plus the Ultimate Edition, which is the one I'd recommend since it's around the same price!) and the first 2 Mass Effects are all half price, though none of them use Steam. In fact, Dragon Age uses Origin, so bear that in mind.
Other offers include Command & Conquer 4 (ugh), Medal of Honor (again, ugh) and a plethora of Sims stuff (gah!). So I don't really know why I mentioned them, really.
I liked MOE. If you like stuff like Tomb Raider, give it a go. There's a new patch/installer at the Sierra Help Pages that gets rid of the insane loading times.
I think you'll find you're in the minority with that opinion, but that's entirely your opinion. If you enjoy it, then great. Roberta Williams can sleep happy tonight.
Today's Daily Deal is Colin McRae DiRT 2. £3.74 / $4.99

It may or may not suck as its own game, but it's still a spin-off of the core series. There are just too many dissimilar aspects compared to the other games for MoE to be considered a core title.
To that I say "so what". Like I said, if he enjoys games like Tomb Raider then give it a go. You can't just ignore the possible merit of a game just because it isn't like the others in the series. It's far removed enough to stand on its own anyway. It's not like it's a horrible sequel like KQ7 which uses the core characters and butchers them and the universe.
Simply put, no it's not like the old King's Quests in ANY way at all, but you don't ignore it and write it off based solely on that.
Today's Daily Deal is Sanctum. Chances are you already own it, but if not, it's £2.37 / $3.39.
It's also worth noting that although the DLC is not on offer, the pack with the original game and a bunch of DLC is. Which is slightly annoying for those who already own it and were hoping to snag some cheap add-ons.
Also, the Midweek Madness is the Elder Scrolls series. All 66% off, except Skyrim, which is down by a third. Also, there's a free Hi-Res Texture Pack for Skyrim currently out, so go grab it if your PC is beefy enough.

hmmm. Maybe Morrow- NO I still havent played Oblivion that much.
True, but that was already free from last week. As were the Genesis games they released a while back (Sonic 1-3, Golden Axe, Comix Zone and Altered Beast). But I don't really care about those.
The Simpsons Arcade is not only new today (OK, Wednesday, but today for Europeans) but it's freakin' awesome. If you've never played it, do so NOW.
Today's Daily Deal is RAGE. 14.99, whatever your currency (grr).
Not only is the collection 75% off, but the individual games are, too. The pack saves you $3.21 if you are buying them all, though if you don't want them all you can spend a bit less.

To be fair, you can get two cups of bad coffee.

Hmmm. I don't know? I remember TB is trying to revive the community and has 2 servers, but... is the community still alive?

I've been waiting for a cheap JC2 now that I'm getting a new computer soon, so yay.
Just a note: The prices aren't converted(Just Cause 2 is $5 USD), and you apparently can't use Paypal for these games.
Also, yes - there is no price conversion, so if something's listed as $5, it'll also be £5. Which is complete and utter bullshit and GetGamesGo needs some serious slapping across the face for it.

I already bought it!
(And I already have Skyrim and Oblivion... :X)
So, the price of Skyrim took an arrow to the knee?
You can do that for a mod? I would post that on the steam workshop, there are a lot of people that would want that.
Meanwhile "Go cast your fancy magic someplace else" shall be gone for me.
So it was in the knee the whole to and not to the knee? Werid.
