Deals and discounts were the shining stars of the past week, as close to half of the top-selling games for both Steam and Direct2Drive were either bundled with temporary savings--D2D had Fallout 3 at half-price over the weekend, for example--or a pre-order incentive, such as beta access (Aion, Champions) or free games (Red Faction).

A rundown of the top games from each digital distribution outlet is below, but first, a quick note. Originally, Steam's "absolute, autonomous, freewheeling, grassroots, nonaligned, nonpartisan, sovereign, unconstrained, uncontrolled, unregimented games pack" (a.k.a. the Indie Game Bundle) topped the Steam chart, but the list was updated after the sale ended and that entry removed. With that out of the way, on to the charts!
