It's (
http://www.digital-eel.com/) Digital Eel's 10 year anniversary, and Shrapnel Games has some of their games (among others) on sale through to the end of July 27th (timezone unspecified).
* (
http://www.gamersfront.com/store/weird-worlds-return-to-infinite-space.html) Weird Worlds for $16.95 (save $8)
* (
http://www.gamersfront.com/store/brainpipe-a-plunge-to-unhumanity.html) Brainpipe for $5 (save $10)
Both games have demos. If you think Brainpipe's two-level demo is too sedate (ignoring the intentionally lethal Coma), don't worry -- it gets plenty faster in the later levels :) Both games are excellent, so check them out if you've not done so before.
Also in (
http://www.gamersfront.com/store/eight_games_for_eight_days.html) the sale, but mostly unknown to me, are: Air Command 3.0, Bronze, Raging Tiger: The Second Korean War, Scallywag: In the Lair of the Medusa, Space HoRSE, War Plan Pacific, winSPWW2, World Supremacy.

Today's GOG deal: (
http://www.gog.com/en/news/summer_hidden_gems_apache_vs_havoc_60_off) Enemy Engaged: Apache vs Havoc for $2.39.
One suspects that Commanche vs Hokum may follow at the same price, which would be the main attraction, but there's still a potential reason to pick up EEAH if you do have (or intend to get) EECH:
EEAH and EECH integrate together so that all the missions and all four aircraft are available from a single game. In addition, the EECH source code was released and there has been a tremendous amount of work done to the sim by (
http://www.eechcentral.com/) its community. You actually get
almost everything by purchasing only EECH and then applying the latest all-in-one community-built patch; however without EEAH the cockpit in the Havoc will not have working gauges.
So although you're effectively not getting a
lot out of EEAH in that circumstance, if both titles are released for 60% off, it's still cheaper than buying just one of them at the standard price (which is already cheap); and if you already
have EECH, it's not much more to spend to get everything perfect.
Of course if you aren't interested in EECH, then this is simply a very cheap stand-alone Apache & Havoc sim :)

As I understand it, everything in Uru:CC is in Myst Online. But if you don't want to be bothered by other people, then Uru:CC is a good alternative. Myst Online does add some stuff, though (not sure what as I haven't played MO too much).
