GOG is currently running their summer sale with the majority of the games at 50% off with the usual daily specials. Can't go wrong with System Shock 2 for $5 or Alpha Centauri for $3.

Amazon has also kicked off their summer sale today. Typical sale prices with specials being rotated every few days.
Just now waiting for Valve to start their Summer sale.

Also Company of Heroes 2 came out this week and it's more of the same but you know, that has never bothered me if it's as good as the first game and expansion. On the other hand, good lord does this game need some serious optimization as I'm barely getting 40 frames with a 680 and a OC 2500k.

I know this week has been short but I've been busy. I really sorry.
