While this isn't actually a sale, F.E.A.R. is for sale on Steam for $10. I've never played the game before, but I've heard good things, so if you want a horror first person shooter, it's cheap. That's F.E.A.R., Extraction Point, and Perseus Mandate for $10, so three games.

Easier just to follow the link than for me to try and say anything about the game, seeing how I've only seen videos and screenshots.

What I actually found more interesting though is that it says in the minimum requirements "Graphics: 64 MB GeForce™ 4 Ti or Radeon® 9000 video card; Monitor that can display in 4:3 aspect ratio", does this imply that you can't play the game on a widescreen monitor? Surely they know that 4:3 can be stretched on widescreens!

As always feel free to donate the game to me if you feel so inclined. It's multiplayer, so I'll even play with you! ;)

Please note, this is all 3 games for $10, not $10 each.

Great deal! F.E.A.R is a kickass game.

If they included F.E.A.R. 2, I'd say that'd be a great deal. As it is... well, F.E.A.R. and its two expansions are sort of ancient bargain bin fodder by now.

If I had $15 to rub together, I think I'd probably pick up Killing Floor, which is marked down 33% to $13.99. The enjoyment I'd get out of that would likely be a bit longer. (Granted, this would partly be because I've already finished F.E.A.R. and one of its expansions.)

The price of that game has been going up and down non-stop for the last couple months, that's why I don't bother to point it out.

I never got to finish F.E.A.R unfortunately. My brother lent it to one of his friends as I was half way through it. I haven't seen it since.

F.E.A.R is awesome.
