Holiday Game Sales: Steam, Origin, D2D, Amazon etc. Great games with 3D Vision for cheap
Steam is having their holiday sale and it looks like there's actually some really good deals this time. They post up new deals daily which expire roughly 24 hours later, but this year it looks like they give you a small grace period on the previous day's deals. I'll also post any other deals from the other options, feel free to post any you come across. Mainly sticking to games I know work well with 3D Vision, great way to catch up on any 3D Vision games you missed!

[list]

[*]12/19 Steam: Just Cause 2, Metro 2033, Fable 3, Rift, Portal 2, Singularity
[*]12/20 Steam: Duke Nukem Forever, Witcher 1&2, MW2, Sacred 2, Lego Batman, Half-Life Complete

Keep in mind, that some of the games you purchase at Amazon can be linked to yor Steam account, but it must be on this list https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-WUSF-3601

Also, the CD Key must be in the appropriate format. I registered several that were on the list.

12/28 - A few caught my eye on Steam today:

Today's Daily Deals Include:
Assassin's Creed Franchise - AC1/2 $5, Brotherhood $13, all 3 of these are fantastic in 3D Vision
Dead Space Franchise - 1 and 2 only $5, not good in 3D imo, but a steal to play even in 2D at this price. May be worth checking out with DDD.
Homefront
Tomb Raider & Lara Croft Series
Section 8: Prejudice
Serious Sam 3
Machinarium
Two Worlds Franchise
Hearts of Iron III Franchise
Space Pirates and Zombies
Dungeon Defenders
Revenge of the Titans

Also, for the next few hours I would highly recommend Prince of Persia 2008 and Prince of Persia 2010 for $5 each. Great 3D Vision games with a 360 controller. Just make sure to turn down the shader settings to medium (or use registry hack to only turn down post-processing to medium).

Amazon has a bunch of Square Enix/Eidos games on sale for extremely cheap, digital download versions. Most if not all of these can be redeemed directly on Steam, no need to even download from Amazon. Just go to your Digital Library, copy and paste the codes into Steam. http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_359485422_2?ie=UTF8&docId=1000746611&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=right-1&pf_rd_r=0AW810YAK3Q0QBPMC573&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1341468622&pf_rd_i=468642

[list]

[*][b]Just Cause 2 for $2.50[/b] - Must have for any 3D Vision collection
[*][b]Dungeon Siege III for $5[/b] - Just checked this out, amazing in 3D Vision, 3D mouse cursor (behaves oddly around character), but also works flawlessly with XBox controller. Demo on Steam if you're unsure on this one, I checked it out there first and was very surprised this didn't get more buzz around here.
[*][b]Lara Croft Guardians of Light $2.50 [/b]- Also very good in 3D, the demo had some issues and was unrated, hopefully the retail version fixes these.
[/list]

Also, each purchase here gives you $5 towards a purchase in January, limit 1 promo per game.

Aye, it seems that some games/maybe all bought from Amazon that are not on the Steam list can be added with full support as well.

There have been some smokin deals. Too bad the Amazon games are not giftable.

I don't know if its all games from Amazon, the ones I just bought/linked are Square Enix/Eidos and pretty sure almost all of their games are able to activate on Steam and on that list you linked. Deus Ex, SupCom 2, Last Remnant and a few others in the past I bought off Amazon or retail activated on Steam np. I know other Steamwork titles work as well, like the DoW2 games and Skyrim for example. I think that list you linked is still pretty accurate overall, although I coulda swore there was more that were supported.
