Chronicles of Riddick, STALKER, BioShock, More Drop to $5 as Part of D2D Mega-Sale

Direct2Drive’s throwing a big bash for its fifth anniversary, and boy howdy are the goodie bags sweet. More than 50 games – ranging from BioShock to Thief: Deadly Shadows to X-Com – are having their price tags slashed down to $5.00. How can you say “no” to that? You can’t. Hell, we’ve already not said “no” to it four or five times.

Over the next few weeks, D2D will be adding more fuel to this money-saving fire, going by a genre theme. So, next week you can expect a spat of nearly-free RPGs and MMOs, and the week after that, it’s indie games, etc.

Now go! Take advantage of Direct2Drive’s momentary celebration-fueled lapse of sanity. It may sound cliché, but these prices really are cuuuurazy.

I'm tempted to get some of these, but I've heard nothing but bad things about Direct 2 Drive.  Anyone have any first hand experience with it?

It's not as convenient as Steam, but I haven't had any problems with the handful of games I've downloaded from D2D.

I have bought about 3 games from them within the past 6 months or so.

Sometimes the downloads go a little slow but other than that its great. You are on your own to patch the games yourself from either their 'patch page' or from the games website (the better way).

You can download your games from their website over and over if you need to re-install, although I don't see anywhere that lists if there is third party DRM in the game (like Steam does).

I'd say it is a no brainer if you have been wanting some of these 5 dollar games.
