STEAM
Steam Midweek Madness: Bastion $5.99 US, Dustforce $4.99 US (Ends May 3)
This deal has expired!
If you have some time to kill and around $10 US in your bank account, you might want to head on over to Steam where they've put two pretty good games on sale. Until Thursday at 4pm PST, you can pick up Bastion for $5.99 US and Dustforce for $4.99 US. If you don't think your computer can handle it, fear not as both are equipped to run on low end machines as well.
Bastion is more of your classic RPG-style title where you'll spend around 10 hours levelling up your character, buying weapons and upgrades and enjoying the unique narrative style. It scored very well and is a must for fans of the genre. You can even play a demo through the Chrome browser here, which goes to show it doesn't need the resources of a high-end gaming PC to run smoothly.
Dustforce is a unique platformer in its own right as you'll traverse the landscape as an acrobatic janitor whose job it is to, well, dust! Think Prince of Persia but with more parkour and a different art-style. Dustforce also received some pretty good scores and would make for a good time killer as well.
The deals are live now and will expire at 4pm PST on Thursday. The games are available for digital download only through Steam.

If you want to try out a Bastion, check out http://chrome.supergiantgames.com/. The full unlock is $14.99 so if you like it, pick it up on Steam.
But indeed, Steam's summer sale is probably going to start up any time now, and it will probably wind up lower than $4.99, if it doesn't get tossed into a bundle first.
I haven't completed it yet, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. If you are finding the controls lacking, I'd recommend using a controller. That's what I use while playing, and I'm having zero problems.
It's one of those games that's better played in spurts and not in long sessions, so the repetitiveness doesn't become an issue.
Here's my review (Xbox 360)
