Ummm never used Amazon before, where is the Steam key. I only have the option to download the game?

Just go to your amazon account and check what games you've bought this year. If I understand the promotion correctly, then if you bought any game from the respective companies during this year, then you are eligible for a coupon.
Go to the 'Your Games & Software Library' section of your account, they're displayed there.
Um, check what games you've bought this year?
Aha, but I just hope it works properly! Like if we add something from that prospective publisher, will it automatically be deducted? Or do we get email codes with the coupon?
The possibilities!
I may be wrong on this since I've never used Amazon's promotional credit before, but I believe it'll automatically be applied to your account and factored into any relevant transactions.
I might be misunderstanding you, but Spec Ops was a Take Two game, so the THQ coupon wouldn't work for it, only the 2K coupon would work.

Gamersgates errors feels more like tactics then errors, but I got Mass Effect 3 yesterday for 4.37 so I'm not complaining.
Yeah, you're not misunderstanding me. I'm just dumb, as it turns out. No Take Two games bought from Amazon this year either though.
Actually, looking through my order history, I'm surprised at how little I actually bought from Amazon in general this past year.
Sadly it's one per publisher.

ARMA II 50%
Half Minute Hero 66%
They Bleed Pixels 75%
Best round of flash sales yet, IMO.

I'm an RPG guy, but Half Minute Hero always seemed too fast and erratic to me, -- how much content is there?

For some reason, Half Life Complete is a hidden Flash Sale

I'm not getting this. If it's just a coupon that you get after the fact, why the deduction?

5 hours was the PSP version. And for 100% you had to play like 100 hours. Dont know if the PC version has more content. I hope they release 30 seconds hero 2 soon for the PC

They Bleed Pixels is a great cross between hard-as-nails platformers like Super Meat Boy, a beat-em up, and Lovecraft and horror themes in an animated style. Really catchy music, a cool checkpoint system and enemies, and nice animated cutscenes between stages. Also has a lot of unlockables, including some really cool stages that were made for the game by other game developers that usually change up the pacing, objective, design, or aesthetics from the normal game.
If it sounds interesting, check it out. Lowest price it's ever been, and honestly a steal.

Reddit asked for NBA 2013, Amazon delivered. Twitter asked for Football Manager, Amazon delivered. I thought sales was decided by the publisher?
If it is anything like the PSP one, that I have, there is a lot of content. I have not beat it all, but open the spoiler if you want to see a GameFAQs Walkthrough list of levels. Used spoiler tags so I don't ruin the modes for others since some are unlockable.
Game has four main modes [Hero 30, Evil Lord 30, Princess 30, and Knight 30], and two Hero extension modes [Hero 300 and Hero 3].
Hero 30 - 30 levels with multiple routes, majority of which have multiple routes
Evil Lord 30 - 30 levels, single route
Princess 30 - 30 levels, single route
Knight 30 - 30 levels, single route
Hero 300 - 300 second end chapter to Hero 30
Hero 3 - 3 second mode unlocked after beating Hero 300

More indepth walkthrough.
Oh, it really is a flash sale.. Guess it probably won't get any lower then
Retailers can request/suggest sales but it's the publisher that has the final say on whether or not the items go on sale and to what extent. For instance, Activision had a change of heart regarding Amazon's Black Ops + MW2 for $15 deal not long before it was scheduled to go live.

Unfortunately regular, Lost in Nightmares and Desperate Escape were never released to PC. You can play Versus though, and a twist on Mercs exclusive to the PC version that is like Mercs but with about 4x as many enemies. And the modding scene is good.ßthePenguin;45726015 said:

Has anybody played lego LoTR? Is it worth it? How about lego batman stuff?

I don't actually think that is a mistake. I myself got that in a GOG Indie Build a Bundle type deal earlier this year along with 4 other games for $10.

LotR & Batman 2 both worth it - especially LotR is a steal at that price.

Woop, DLC on sale too
Giantbomb had a very positive Quicklook on LEGO LOTR. Seems to be widely received as the best LEGO game to date too.

IIRC the voice bits are directly ripped from the movies, right? Is it actually funny or more serious-ish?

Ok, in the process of Amazoning Lego LOTR, Lego Batman 2 and Dark Souls. People who recommended the lego games will probably be safe, since I am likely to never even install them at the rate my backlog is growing.
And just when I think my sale spending is done for a while this crops up. Be just my luck that Skyrim's dlc goes on a daily at 75%.
From what I've seen it is a good mixture of both with the humor of the other LEGO games thrown into the mix.
Sadly there is no 'Walk into Mordor' joke.. I bought it, maybe I'll have time next week to try it out - for some reason it's pretty high on my backlog list
