Steam has Dragon Age origins with all expansions for 15 euros. What's to like about it? What's to dislike?

Portal 2 (Mac/PC) is only $30 on Amazon right now. $35 for PS3/XBOX. Great game for $30, I say.

I enjoyed it.  It was an attempt to make an RPG similar to Baldur's Gate.  It succeeded for the most part.  The expansions vary in quality.  I didn't get all of them, but heard some were bad.  Be warned, there is some very heavy combat.  I liked the fighting in the game, but others did get bored of it after a while.  Good voice acting and writing.  The expansion was weaker.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Dead Space on Steam for 4 dollars. Might be a good price, the demo was allright.

 Men of War: Assault Squad is the best WW2 RTS around, and is going for just $12 at the moment.

It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

Nice graphics, some innovative interface choices, but a lot of wash, rinse, repeat in the gameplay.

I liked the game for the same reasons, plus it creeped the hell out of me.  But yeah, I stopped playing about 1/3 the way through partly because it was getting a little repetitive.  I want to finish it sometime, but it's a little ways back in my backlog.

Well worth $4 though.
