At this point, the intense competition in PC digital distribution has led to incredible short-term deals on an ongoing basis -- if you're patient, you build up an excellent game collection for a fraction of what you'd pay if you were buying games off the shelf or digitally upon release.
In a feature that may or may not recur, I'll check out the various sites and services offering these ridiculous deals, and recommend particular games that I've played and can personally vouch for. There are plenty more games on sale, but these are the ones I can speak for.
Direct2Drive
Direct2Drive is this week's volume champion; it almost seems like the other services stepped back a bit in the wake of D2D's ongoing fifth anniversary celebration, which is bringing more and more games into the temporary $5 fold.
BioShock (Irrational Games): $5. Surely you know this one. I played it on PC and can vouch for this version. If you haven't played it, do it. If you have a different version and want to play it again, it's $5.
The above post may contain:
video games, deals, weekends, Steam, Direct2Drive, Impulse, Telltale Games, Unreal Tournament, Unreal Tournament III, Tales of Monkey Island, Droplitz, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, X-Com, Civilization IV

When writing up a description for DnS Development's just-released adventure game Twin Sector, some bored copywriter must have just finally thought, "Screw it, I don't need suggestive synonyms for this." He cut right to the chase, as demonstrated in this Steam news excerpt:
Twin Sector takes place in a post-apocalyptic future where the remains of mankind have been put to artificial sleep in cryogenic chambers deep under the contaminated surface of earth. You play as the hot protagonist, Ashley Simms, awoken in order to save the station - mankind's last hope. On your mission you encounter many puzzles, challenges and enemies in a hostile and threatening futuristic environment. Amusingly, the bulk of the gameplay appears to be in first person. Trespasser, anyone? (No.)
