http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-BMAC/batman-arkham-city?caff=7901

Anyone know if you can plug your code into Steam for this one?

EDIT: Wow was I late for this one. Sorry I left my browser window open here and forgot to refresh before posting :(

No Steam activation for Arkham City.

This is also relevant, on DCS main site:

DCS: Black Shark 2 (Download versions) - $26.99
DCS: Black Shark 2 Upgrade (Download versions) - $12.99
DCS: A-10C Warthog (Download versions) - $19.99

Learned my lesson by missing Settlers 7 for $12, so nabbed Dungeon Defenders for $2. No DLC or TF2 ‘special characters’, but… $2!

Bahimiron · 2011-12-24T17:58:14.000Z

GamersGate has Arkham City for $20 and Space Marine for $25.

If B:AC activated on Steam, that’d probably be a gimmie.

Qmanol · 2011-12-24T18:10:14.000Z

Arkham city should be $17.75 on green man gaming on the 26th with the appropriate voucher code.

Vercinger · 2011-12-24T20:37:45.000Z

Thanks for all the information!

Best buy online clearance center has a bunch of great deals on boxed games. Divinity 2 for $5, Rise of Flight Iron Cross for $10, Mass Effect 2 for $5, Borderlands game of the year for $5, some collectors editions like Starcraft for $50…

Closest thing I’ve seen to Gogamer 48hr madness in a long time.

BOXED games?

What is this you speak of?

Giaddon:

GamersGate hasThe Saboteur for $9 right now.

It was glossed over at release, but I found it to be a very fun open-world game set in a comic-book version of World War 2 northern France. It has the best-feeling shooting of any GTA-like I’ve played, and a Hitman-like disguise mechanic where you can wear Nazi uniforms to infiltrate installations and blow them up. There are some porting issues (not that great performance, and ATI cards I think don’t work, and the map can be wonky), and the graphics at a distance aren’t great, but the black and white to color style gives it a great look, and I find it a nice change of pace to play in a historical setting. I’m actually replaying it now, and having a blast. Check it out!

Thanks so much for the recommendation-this game has turned out to be AWESOME. The dialogue is far more enjoyable than GTA or Skyrim or any other game I’ve played!

lordkosc · 2011-12-25T06:16:58.000Z

The ending to the Saboteur was one of my favorite video game endings of all time. :)

Bah. Only Divinity 2 left - all the rest sold out. Would have liked to get Rise of Flight at that price.

Moggraider · 2011-12-25T12:04:46.000Z

Any thoughts on Nuclear Dawn? Steam has it for only $5 today and it looks really tempting.

I’ll take an extra copy of Renegade Ops if anyone has one from a four-pack. My Steam is my username at hotmail dot com. Post here that you’ve sent one over and I’ll paypal you back. Thanks.

ioticus · 2011-12-25T12:51:53.000Z

Amazon has Nuclear Dawn for $4 and I bit. Figure I can’t go wrong.

Moggraider · 2011-12-25T13:03:15.000Z

Does it activate on Steam? Figure there’s no point to an MP game without Steam now.

lordkosc · 2011-12-25T13:08:02.000Z

I am pretty sure it REQUIRES Steam.

Squee · 2011-12-25T13:40:23.000Z

Nuclear Dawn is going to be in an Indie Royale bundle, so you’d probably be better off waiting since that’ll be around $5 and have other crap with it.
