Games on SALE!

[figmentPez]

Lots of Monkey Island this weekend! Steam's last LucasArts deal is the Special Editions of MI 1 & 2, all weekend long.
The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition $5
Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge $5
Monkey Island: Special Edition Bundle $7.50

Steam also has a pirate-themed indie adventure game called Jolly Rover for $5, but I have no idea if it's any good.


Direct2Drive's Summer Ends Event continues:
Civ City Rome $10
Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition $10

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Jolly Rover got reemed out by Gamespot. Not even a 4/10.

This Sunday (Sept. 19) is Talk Like a Pirate Day. And you be bettin' Telltale's a-gonna treat ya right, me hearty.

Starting now, until Monday morning, Tales of Monkey Island is only $4.95. And, if you want to pay the shipping & handling, you'll also get the full DVD of it, as well.

Now, if you'll excuse me. I have some Tales of Monkey Island to play.

 

[figmentPez]

And a link to that, to make it easier to find such a great game:
Telltale Games: Play Like a Pirate

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Oop, yeah, I couldn't find a direct link, aside from the main Telltale link. And I just realized you'd mentioned it a few posts back. My bad. But a deal this good's gotta be mentioned a few times, aye?

Oh, yeah. I had been planning to throw up a link to it when the deal went live anyway. If I didn't already own the game (with the special edition DVD, and a mug to boot) I'd be snapping it up. $5 is a steal for a damn good game.

EDIT: Here's me mugging for the camera, just to make Nick jealous. Let's see if he notices.

 

[figmentPez]

Almost forgot, today's games in D2D's Summer Ends Event
GTA4 $10
GTA4 Episodes from Liberty City $15

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Here's me mugging for the camera, just to make Nick jealous. Let's see if he notices.

I will punch you in the soul.

 

[figmentPez]

Today's D2D deals are both MMOs
Age of Conan $7.50
Final Fantasy XI $5.95

 

[figmentPez]

Missed a day, but here is the current set for D2D's Summer Ends Event
The Sims 3 World Adventures $15
Company of Heroes Gold $7.50

 

[figmentPez]

Steam's Mid-week Madness, puzzle game Droplitz is $2

 

[figmentPez]

New set of $6 games from D2D
Europa Universalis III: Heir to the Throne
Red Faction Guerrilla
Warfare
Dracula Origin
Gratuitous Space Battles
7 Sins
A Farewell to Dragons
City Life 2008
Sword of the Stars

Not sure how many of those are good, most I've never heard of. Red Faction Guerrilla, though, is awesome and well worth $6.

The daily deals from D2D's Summer Ends Event are
Borderlands $10 (keep in mind this doesn't have the DLC, a GOTY edition is coming out soon that will.)
Football Manager 2010 $10

 

[AshburnerX]

I believe Sword of the Stars is decent, or so I'm told. 7 Sins is basically a more adult themed version of the Sims and it's pretty awful.

 

[Tress]

I think Gratuitous Space Battles is fun, but I wouldn't pay more than $5-$6 for it. So if you're interested in creating space ships of all sizes and watching them blow up rival space fleets then it's a great buy.

 

[figmentPez]

Today's D2D Summer Ends Event games are:
Section 8 $15
X-COM Complete Bundle $6

Steam has the Serious Sam HD games on sale:

The Second Encounter $4.99
Both $7.49
Both and the original versions $10

 

[figmentPez]

D2D also has the Serious Sam games on sale, at roughly the same price as Steam, but no bundles available. They do have the original versions at $2.50 each, if you want those without the HD versions.

D2D's one day deals:
Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 $7.50
Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Uprising $4.95

[figmentPez]

Today's D2D deals are:
STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat $10
Split Second $20

Bah! The least they could do is have something I care about on my birthday! (I've heard the Stalker games are decent, though I'm not sure if the bugginess ever got fixed).


Oh! Someone does have good stuff for my B-day! GOG.com has Planescape Torment. It's not on sale, but for $10 you get the soundtrack too! (among other stuff). Yeah, I'll probably be picking this one up. I lent my copy of PS:T to a friend, years ago, and never got it back. Heck, I may not even play it again (I've gone through the game 3 times.) but the soundtrack would be nice.


GamersGate is doing a week of sales on puzzle games. Notables:
Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords $5
Flock $5
Puzzle Bots $6

 

[figmentPez]

Almost the last day of D2D's Summer Ends Event

No new $6 games, apparently.

 

[figmentPez]

Team Fortress 2 is $10 and just got a major update.

Also, everything Magic the Gathering related is on sale on Steam. I didn't even realize there was a virtual version of the game.

 

[bigcountry23]

Picked up TF2 finally.

Magic the Gathering is kinda fun, but you can't customize like the actual virtual game
What's Happening? : Magic Online : Digital Games : Magic: The Gathering

but, it is pretty fun to play with limit customizable deck instead of paying for virtual decks (you can trade in for actual cards too)

 

[figmentPez]

For iPhone / iPad Touch users, Telltale Games' Puzzle Agent is just $1 on that platform until Oct 7th

 

[Overflight]

Civilization Revolution for the iOS also seems to be on sale in some countries. In case you want to waste even MORE of your precious time, it's at 0.79 Euros/0.99 Dollars for one week.

 

[figmentPez]

GOG.com has Community Favorites on sale:
Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura $3

Interstate ’76 Arsenal, The $3
Jagged Alliance 2 $5
Longest Journey, The $5
Myst: Masterpiece Edition $3
Psychonauts $5
Syberia $5
Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon $5

Some really great games there. Psychonauts is a decent platformer with awesome style. The Longest Journey is a great adventure game. I've heard good things about Syberia, but haven't done more than start it myself.

 

[Fun Size]

I went through Syberia (XBox, but still). It was a really well done adventure game, with pretty good voice work, beautiful graphics and an interesting plot. I never did get to play part 2, which I also have.

 

[figmentPez]

Wow!!!! that is one heck of a deal! now is the time to get a copy if you don't have it already.

 

[Jay]

Wow, that's NUTS.

If you haven't gotten the games yet....

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Goddamn! I'll buy Left 4 Dead for $7!

Now, I'll just take a quick gander over at Can You Run It to see if my laptop has the specs to handle it.

...

Well, it doesn't even reach the bar for minimum requirements.

*sob*

 

[Tress]

Buy the game anyway and save it for when you have a new rig that will play it?

 

[ThatNickGuy]

A new rig is not likely for years.

 

[figmentPez]

Anyone who owns L4D2 by this Thursday will get Ellis's Hat and a Frying Pan in Team Fortresss 2.
