Steam is now selling the previously released A.R.E.S. The Extiction Agenda but with two Steam exclusive outfits and a week-long 10 percent discount.

Impulse now has the Baldur's Gate games, the Icewind Dale games and the first Neverwinter Nights game available for purchase and download.
People who pre-order the just announced IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover via Ubisoft's web site will get Silent Hunter III for free.
