I got:

Lead and Gold, Killing Floor, Flatout: Ultimate Carnage, GTA 4, Darkstar One, Machinarium, UFO: Afterlight, Broken Sword 2/3, Eets, Geometry Wars, Shatter, Joint Ops: Combined Arms, Eve Online, Semper Fi Expansion to Hearts of Iron 3, Overlord 1/2/expansion, Shatter, Misadventures of PB Winterbottom, Thief: Deadly Shadows, Bioshock, Beat Hazard, Max and the Magic Marker, Samorost 2, Toki Tori, DarkStar one, Rag Doll Kung Fu, Gumboy: Crazy Adventures, Avencast, Men of War, Bad Rats, Patrician 3, The Great Art Race, Puzzle Kingdoms, Port Royale 2, and Soldiers: Heros of WW2.

Not all AAA titles and probably not all good, but some of them came crazy cheap so I figured I’d take a shot. There were great daily deals that I would’ve bought had I not already owned them.

Anyway, now that this sale is over I’m going to go back to announcing stuff on the [running digital distribution sale thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=544389)

I got King’s Bounty and Armored Princess, and still wondering how it got 80+ on [Metacritic.com](http://Metacritic.com).
