Another new batch of deals on computer games today through Steam.
Civilization 5 for PC/Mac for $10.19.
This is about the 3rd time it has been priced this low in 2011, and usually sells for around $25 to $30.
Civilization 5 needs little introduction for anyone who loves strategy games.
We started playing the Civilization series 20 years ago, and still love it, but it's not the easiest game to get into due to its massive strategy options and matches which can take a long time.
Civilization is kind of like the "chess" of gaming.
Of course the reviews and video review are great.
Also on that page are a bunch of downloadable content (add-ons) for the game, which are only appealing to existing Civ-lovers looking for a little bit more out of the game.
Grand Theft Auto games for PC from $2.50 and up, to $7.50 for the latest Grant Theft Auto 4.
Note that Grand Theft Auto 5 will be released sometime in 2012.
Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena for $5.
Hearts of Iron III for PC & Mac for $2.49 today.
A great deal for a strategy game with good reviews.
Also available on that page are lots of downloadable content (DLC) add-ons for PC, or available bundled with the game for $7.50 total.
Dead Space or Dead Space 2 for PC for $5 each.
These first-person-shooter games usually sell for between $10 & $20.
Dead Space reviews and Dead Space 2 reviews are great.

- F.E.A.R 3 for PC $20, or all F.E.A.R Games for $25
F.E.A.R 3 is available today for $20, or all three of the F.E.A.R games for PC for $25 and includes two F.E.A.R add-ons and a F.E.A.R 2 add-on.
The game F.E.A.R 3 usually sells for around $30 by itself.
These are for Windows PC only.
Far Cry for PC for $2.50.
Released in 2004 but still one of our favorite first-person-shooter games of all time.
Great reviews, and if you enjoy action/shooter type games, $2.50 is well worth the price.
Far Cry 2 is also available for $5, but it may be worth skipping.
Plants vs Zombies for PC or Mac for $3.39.
It's a fairly basic game, suitable for ages 10 and up.
More fun on a handheld device than a desktop computer, though.

- Defense Grid tower defense game for PC $2.50 or $4 (expired)
Defense Grid: The Awakening is on sale at Steam for $2.50 for the game, or $4 bundled with 5 add-ons.
Not much to this game; you place towers and upgrade them as waves of aliens try to invade, but the game has very good reviews making it a great value at just a couple dollars.
Also on sale today is Formula 1 2011 for PC for $25, which is half what most other stores sell it for.
Great reviews, and the game downloads over the Internet through Steam.
