What one of todays deals is not visible to me, "not available in your region".

Just refresh. It's happened to me.

Saw that Divinity 2 was on flash sale. I've been mildly interested in that for a while, any recommendations, impressions or cautioning tales?

The plot isn't appealing, the setting is uninteresting, there's not much diversity in the way you can go about doing things, and combat isn't very fun. The gameplay is rather dull, overall. I don't think it's a bad game, I'm just pointing out that not everyone may enjoy it. I had fun for the first couple of hours.

Did you remember to install the unofficial patch?

Hmm, is Red Alert 3 anything like it's predecessors ?
I remember hearing something that whole C&C series gone bit away from earlier games. So how it's really like ?

red Alert 3, while a little weird out it still follows the original C&C ideals, the bonus of the aquatic mode is pretty cool and the Japanese, finely implemented 8)

Red Alert 3 is both decent, and silly. Has multiplayer, and a co-op campaign that doesn't need the co-op part but its there. Has base building, unlike C&C4.
Uprising is only for campaigns and being absurd in skimish mode though, the additional superunits added are OP in groups (and you can't even play it in multiplayer anyway).

If you play it, expect hamminess and/or camp.

Quite possibly as good as it's going to get.  Those of you who wanted it for DayZ, now's your chance.

Damn, only 40% and ARMA3 is coming out... I am on the fence. >.>

Also DO NOT buy ARMA2 for DayZ. Why?

'Day Z' going standalone in September, adopting 'Minecraft' model.

I don't expect Arma 3 for at least 6 months despite what anyone is saying. According to an insider only scripting is working and there are many graphical glitches, no optimization is done and much of the campaign needs significant work. I would say feb or march of 2013. That leaves a ton of time to play Arma 2 and DayZ. Keep in mind that they showed an alpha build at the end of June. Beta(internal closed) should last 3 months if there are no problems and obviously longer if something comes up. Production and distribution need to occur as well.

TLDR: ARMA 2 is still worth buying

Also your computer may or may not be able to handle Arma 3
Arma 3 system requirements:

OS – Windows 7 / Vista
CPU – Intel Core i5 or AMD Athlon Phenom X4 or faster
GPU – Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 or ATI Radeon HD 5770, shader Model 3 and 896 MB VRAM, or faster
RAM – 2 GB
HDD – 15 GB free space
DVD – Dual Layer compatible
DirectX® – 10

Buy it for the DayZ, stay for the mods?

Quite different to 1 and 2.  A little worse IMExaltedO.
