A Little Extra Gaming Pimpage

Direct2Drive has a thing going on right now -- if you install their free Comrade download manager before 10 a.m. PDT today, you'll get 20% off on any purchases today and tomorrow. I've used Comrade for several months, and while it misidentifies a few cheapie games (e.g., thinking the match-3 game Age of Japan II is a Nancy Drew Mystery), it's a nice way to get a handle on what you have installed, and keep up with downloads, patches 'n' stuff.

And, D2D has a couple of sweet deals as well: The wonderful Torchlight is half off, only $9.95, and Rome: Total War Gold Edition is only $2.50. Yes, two dollars and fifty cents.

Any cool games we need to hear about? Link 'em up.
