Item: Space Rangers 2 + Reboot Expansion
Price: $3.99 US, probably also 3.99 eu
Duration: Thru 12/14/08
In spite of the dorky name and wonky Russian translation, Space Rangers is a unique game, based around a randomly-generated, turn-based combat, Elite-like universe, in which you can pretty much do whatever you want, from trading, to combat, to piracy. Missions include everything from saving the univserse to Fedex quests to RTS bouts with robot factories, to text adventures, if you can believe it. The expansion is a recent addition, I think, only just this year, or last.
In short, it's a lot of game for four bucks, even if only from Stardock's Impulse service. I think the SecuROM nonsense that plagued the retail version of this game is not present in the Stardock version. Stardock's activation is required only on game install, and for any game updates, it doesn't pull any dirty tricks or require an internet connection for any other reason (so far).
vvvv Note re: Item cited below, GalCiv II: Dread Lords, is the base game, without the Dark Avatar and Twilight of the Arnor expansion packs. Those suckas will run you an additional $45.

Ridiculous price for a solid if slightly repetitive FPS.

Half price! Audiosurf is also half price at $5, both are recommended. There seems to be lots of discounts on there, but these two stuck out. I'm in Australia but we use the US steam store (in USD).
