I've actually gotten quite a few good deals on Steam. Like Red Orchestra for $5 and DoD for about $5. Most of my games were purchased on sale save for good games like TF2 and HL2 which I purchased for full-price. You can look on my profile for my Steam name if you want to add me. I accept almost all invitations so invite away!
Men or War: Gold Edition is $11.90 for the mid-week deal. I've not heard of this one, but it is a RTS with a meta score of 80. The sequel Red Tide isn't rated, so if you want to play it safe, the original is only $5.10 during the sale.
Aliens Vs Predator Classic 2000 is going for $5. It's not a sale, but it caught my attention because it's $5 and my friends used to rave about it. It looks like it got enhanced for modern PCs, but it also looks like the multiplayer got stripped out. I'm pretty sure that's what my friends loved about the game. Still, $5 for what I've heard is a good game sounds like a sweet deal.
Company of Heroes Complete is $12.50 for the weekend deal. It's not often I hate a game as much as I do CoH, and still recommend it strongly to others. It's an amazing RTS that I find very unique and hectic. The game revolves around building smallish armies (Think Warcraft 3 sized armies and squads) and capturing points for more resources. There is a lot of micro-managing in the game, which is what kills it for me, but makes the game for my friends who love it. At $12.50, I can't recommend this strongly enough to any RTS fan out there, because the game is great enough to outshine my personal hang-ups on it.
To me, I find the game similar to a real-time version of Advanced Wars. Most of the gameplay elements that are in AW are also in CoH. The problem I have with the game is I have a really hard time controlling the game, and I always feel like I'm fighting the game interface and mechanics as much as I'm fighting the AI. I guess I got spoiled on Supreme Commander where you get the strategic zoom and MASSIVE armies that you don't really have to tell what to do because there isn't the same amount of depth in the skirmishes. There is a lot of depth to the battles in CoH, and you might compare it to a game of Chess, where you set up your pieces and have them defend their spot until someone creeps up with a stronger piece that you can't hit first. Once again, this game totally outshines the problems I have with it and I hope you all can have fun with it.

I don't know any other place that has deals as good as Steam. Only if they could partner up with Blizzard

X-COM: Complete Pack is $2 for the weekend deal. All five X-Com games for $2! Most of them are old dos games, but I've heard over and over that these games are amazing. Hard to waste $2 if you spend 2 hours on one just trying to learn to like it.
WOW! It turns out that the side-banner didn't show all the deals they were offering. There are 3 sales this weekend!
The first you know is X-COM: Complete Pack for $2
The second is Freedom Force for $2 (Nifty Superhero RPGs)
The third is 66% off of Tropico 3 which brings it down to $13.60

Titan's Quest Gold is $5 for the mid-week sale. It's one of my favorite Diablo clones. I feel it is missing an indescribable charm that Diablo had, but it's not enough to ruin the gameplay. In contrast, I feel that Torchlight has that charm, but is a little more shallow in the gameplay category by comparison.
Another deal another buy. 3 in a row now. CoH pack, Tropico 3 and now Titan Quest Gold. Fixing my credit card account was the worst thing that could have happened to me.
Edit: Zomg! Aliens vs Predator demo available now. Iiiiii!
I don't know if I should pre-purchase AvP. The free game doesn't look that great.
