Today on Fantatical, Bundle Fest starts. Not sure if it'll be worth any hype, but the opening Colossus Bundle isn't terrible:
Tier One - $1
- Chaos Reborn
- Stalker: Clear Sky
- Sniper Ghost Warrior Trilogy
Tier Two - $5
- The Last Leviathan
- Moon Hunters
- The Town of Light
- Heliborne
- Epistory: Typing Chronicles
- Warhammer End Times Vermintide
- and two mystery games
Tier Three - $9
- Mafia 3
- Civilization: Beyond Earth
Nothing makes this a must buy, IMO, but it's pretty cheap for what is there. There are other bundles as well, like $7 for an odd collection of Star Wars games (The Force Unleashed, Jedi Knight 1 & 2, and KOTOR 1 & 2), and $11 for Bioshock Infinite and it's season pass. Look for more bundles to launch as the week goes on.

huh. Didn't notice the typo, but it's amusing enough that I'll keep it.
All of Spiderweb Software's games are on sale today to celebrate the company's 25th anniversary. $18 for 14 fun RPG games in their publisher bundle. If that's too much, my top picks in there are the 5 Geneforge games for $5, Avadon 1 for $2.49, and Avernum 1 (Remake) for $2.49.

I'm on the road at a play festival, but Fanatical has a bundle that is definitely worth purchasing. The LEGO pick and mix, or whatever they're calling it is amazing. I might buy two different packs of three games, myself.
I have most of them already, but I'm tempted to get Undercover and Ninjago (the latter I hear is great, even though I know nothing about Ninjago).
I just don't know about a third. I already have all the Marvel & DC ones and Jurassic World (haven't played it yet). Maybe the Harry Potters but a) I don't know how well they've aged and b) I'd prefer to get both together.

There's also a HECK of a deal on the Arkham games. Asylum, City, and Knight for $13.79.
Surprised Origins isn't in there, but still a great deal.

Isn't Arkham Origins the one they said they were never going to bug fix because it would cost them too much?
More or less, yeah. Or they would be too busy making the DLC. It's buggy at times, no doubt, but it's not a bad game.

Humble Indie Bundle 20
Tier 1 - PWYW, $1 for Steam keys
- The First Tree
- Tangledeep
- Among the Sleep
Tier 2 - BTA
- Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy
- Tooth and Tail
- Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator
Tier 3 - $10
- Overgrowth
I'm curious enough about The First Tree to buy in for the $1 tier. I'm sure a lot of people will beat the average for Dream Daddy. The top tier has the weakest reviews of any of the games, though. Maybe it's just a niche thing? I don't know much about Overgrowth, except that it was in development for a long time.

I got a key for Overgrowth from Humble Bundle Monthly. Never even cashed it in. Not sure if I'd be interested in it.

What the fuck? The core, main game is $39.99. But the expansions' regular prices are $50!?! The hell?! THAT'S NOT HOW DLC WORKS, EA.
I don't know Origin's prices in Canada, but the base game and the expansions regularly go for $39.99 US. Tried checking Amazon.ca, and there's no online codes or instant access? Lots of "code in a box, though." I've seen the base game go as low as 10 bucks on US Amazon.
And it is here, too. It's 88% from what I see, for $4.79.
But the DLC, at 50% off? It's $25.99. That's just goddamn insane.

GOG is having a "better with friends" midweek sale on certain multiplayer titles.

I keep hoping GoG would have a decent sale on classic adventure games, but it's rare, even on big holiday sales. I want to get some games I grew up on but I didn't want to pay much since I paid for them before (sometimes more than once).
EDIT: And when they DO go on sale, it's usually not a big discount.

Not a game, but Best Buy is selling an Acer VR setup for $150. Biggest knock on it is that it doesn't use a multi-camera setup. So tracking isn't the best, and only tracks something like 200 degrees in front of you, not full 360. Still, people seem to really like it as a budget/intro VR option.

Damn. Thanks, @ThatNickGuy . I picked it up but forgot to claim it after I got home. And I have to do that or the offer goes away.

I'd say it's worth playing once. It's a walking sim, like Gone Home by the same dev, but I found myself enamored by the characters by the end. And it has some interesting game mechanics with rewinding footage and seeing the same events play out from different points of view. Short, like 3 hours long, but worth it.
Morrowind is free today on the Bethesda Marketplace (which I didn't even know existed until today)
