Does Amazon sell DOOM?
It comes in this collection: http://www.amazon.com/Doom-Edition-Online-Game-Code/dp/B00GXHIQLO

But it's been as low as ~$5 before.

Hm. I might have jumped a gun. Mirror's Edge is seven bucks on the sale now and I got that as soon as possible, but my machine's Windows 7 and it says it supports Vista and XP... am I screwed? also how bad is Origin again??

For those of you looking to buy Dark Souls, Tony posted on CAG that they should get more keys by the end of the day and that the sale would be extended until 2/1 for Dark Souls only.

That's great, because Dark Souls is amazing and no one should miss it.

I really enjoyed Mirror's Edge and played it on Windows 7 with no problems at all. Origin is okay, I guess. I never use it though.

They've got keys back in. Finally bought it, had some gift card balance left over, so Dark Souls for $0.40 isn't too bad.

Is Enslaved legitimately good or is it kinda poo poo-but-"cinematic"-so-people-pretend-it's-good like Heavenly Sword?

It's not really poo poo but I'd say its really just okay. I played it way back on the PS3. It's main problem is that it is really, really simple. You run into the same enemies all the time and you use the same strategy to beat them all the time. The platforming, unless they want to hide secrets from you, is all helpfully highlighted with glowing balls so you never get lost. The narrative feels like its missing a pretty big chunk from its middle too.

Honestly, the DLC that's included with the PC version tells a better story with better characters (and one is a robot that can only communicate with emoticon faces). Obviously its shorter, but ultimately its more fulfilling.

It is like Heavenly Sword but with much shittier combat and level design but nicer graphics.

A US goon is buying it for me, but I guess I'll have to do this too if I want to activate it on my Norway-registered Steam account? Never had to circumvent a region locked game before.

I've used VPNs previously, but is there anything special I should be aware of when installing/using Spotflux to activate the game on Steam?

Not really. I just installed the regular version (not lite) then launched Steam with it running. The key redeemed fine.

Great, thank you.

EDIT: Tested this myself. Closed Steam client, ran Spotflux, started Steam client again, and activated the code and installed the game.

That happened to me. I ended up searching for it manually and got to the page.

I agree with you that it's probably better with a gamepad, but I played through the whole game with M/K and still had a wonderful time. Only had some trouble disarming guards, but not too often.
