Games on SALE!

Ooooh! New campaign? I know what I'm firing up the moment I get home! Fear my Zoey sniper rifle skills you zombie bastards!

Back on the topic, I picked up World of Goo for the GF on her laptop. She's in puzzle heaven right now. I'll probably take a few swipes at it with some free time, though I'm not really into the puzzle genre.

I just finished playing, and it was damn good. Ran into 4 tanks in the two levels, before even reaching the finale, and we were playing on Normal. It feels a lot more open than any of the other campaigns, and it's rarely obvious where to go next, but that may just be on account of it being a first playthrough.

Nothing new though. It's the same L4D formula. Advance, find obstacle, remove obstacle and draw the horde, advance.

Steam Weekend Sales for Oct 1st - 4th

Audiosurf is 50% off putting it at $4.99 - and an update adding new features to the game.

66% off Oddworld games making Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus $3.39 each or $5.09 for both. Pretty good deal, even though you won't get the soundtrack and other extras that come with the game at GOG.

Steam is doing a week of THQ sales. All week the THQ collector pack is 10%-off, only $90.

Today, 0ct. 12, Titan Quest gold is on sale 50% off, making it $10. Not as good as when it was $5 from Direct 2 Drive a few weeks ago, though.

I'm not seeing anything in THQ's current offerings I really care about going on sale, but I'll keep an eye on it.
 
Oh, what ever anyone does, do NOT buy Saints Row 2 on PC. It's utter trash. The game does NOT run well even on the fastest computers.

Besides, D2D has it for $5 if you REALLY want it.
 
They need to start announcing some Amazon sales, or other sales that will ship a disc to your door.

Lousy lack of broadband...

What "they" are you referring to? Amazon has recently had some sort of buy 2 get one free sale to match Toys R Us doing a similar deal. I didn't pay attention to either since I like digital downloads. I started this thread for anyone to post any sort of gaming deals, I just post what catches my eye. Others should post what they see.

For those looking to expand their console library, Amazon has a deal. Buy $80 worth of eligible games (before Oct 31st), and get a $40 credit towards future game purchases (credit expires Dec 31, 2009). There are hundreds of eligible games for PS3, 360 and Wii (and 2 DS games).


For the digital download crowd, Steam is offering 50% Off The Witcher - making it $20
Ooh! The Witcher! I've always passed on this but now I think it's time.

Tonight: Dave buys The Witcher!

You should start a thread on your playthrough of it, then quit after 3 days. :slywink:

Ooooh, I went there.
I'd like to give a big FU to you...but you're right. At least I've admitted why I stopped. I sucked at the game. Hell, I got called out by Gusto.
 
I'm really on the fence about getting Witcher. $20 is my "high" limit on buying a new game. I usually pick stuff up around the $10 mark.

Then again, this is the same person who just did a Faction Change ($30) and a Server Move ($25) on WoW.....
