    From April 5-15, Amazon is having a sale on a bunch of downloadable PC titles. Here are some highlights, but be sure to check out the full list (link below):

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=br_lf_m_1000789381_pglink_1?ie=UTF8&plgroup=1&docId=1000789381&plpage=1

    I may pick up Warhammer: Space Marine and The Darkness II

    Edit. This sale is just for the US, apparently. :(

    @Jack268: I got it for free because apparently some people were having trouble downloading Mass Effect 3 through Amazon so they gave everybody a free EA game that bought it. Teehee.

    Anyone that doesn't have the Dragon Age pack and doesn't pick it up FOR TEN FUCKING DOLLARS because it uses Origin is a child.

    I bought DA 1 Ultimate for $12 on Origin back in December but haven't fired it up yet. I have yet to play anything on Origin, so what's with all the hate?

    Amazon doesn't even have a downloadable games platform in the UK :<

    That's a good price for Crusader Kings 2, one of the best games of the year so far. Darkness 2 is a great (if slightly short) FPS.

    @MikkaQ: You are thinking too small, sir. Easter is just a few days away, why not have a spring sale? That's where Steam is headed, big sales every quarter.

    Guess so, but man that summer sale they always go full throttle with weird ARGs and stuff.

    But yeah spring sale... that's gotta happen soon.

    Interesting though think I'll just wait (as much as I use Amazon for other things) for the summer/spring sale thing at Steam instead. Plus if any of the games have DLC, it's just easier to go through steam to get that as well as other things that are on the wishlist.

    To all people who are upset about this being US only: Find a random US address and add it to your amazon account, then use that to buy the downloadable games.

    I live in Australia and I just bought the Darkness 2 from there!

    Super tempted to snag The Darkness II for $12 and some change, but I have a massive backlog that only keeps getting bigger, so think I'm going to hold off for now.

    I love Amazon, but I don't want yet another system I have to go through for fucking digital rights bullshit - no matter how cheap. So I have to ask, what is the DRM system that they implement? Do they have a downloader/interface like every other fucker on earth forces on you? (Impulse, Steam, Origin, D2D, etc)?

    They have their own simple downloader, but that is the only software they make you use. Plus, if the game activates on steam you can just put the code into there and download it through steam.

    @shinboy630: Do you (or anyone else) know if these games activate on Origin and I can just download them on Origin instead? I'd rather not install another downloader, but I guess I will if I have to.

    My question: Why are you always so angry? My answer: Most of the games can be redeemed on Steam/Origin. And no, they don't make you download a separate installer.

    What makes you think I'm always angry you son of a bitch? :P

    Also, sweet. If I can redeem on Steam (or if a purchase simply has no dependent DRM), I'm all over that.

    Does anybody know how Shift 2 compares to the first game? I've played some of the first and it was pretty decent and I could go for a sim style racer about now.

    Many of the games on Amazon have user reviews where people give information as to whether the title is Steamworks or not.

    I'll probably pick up Crusader Kings II, that's good price. I'll probably buy Saboteur again (for the third time, I buy it beat it, sell it, wait a few years, buy it again, so on and so forth), I wonder how well they ported it?

    You can activate the Dragon Age bundle on Origin, but not Steam. I guess it's better than nothing.
