I’ll throw my voice in too; its a terrific game once you get back to Paris. I hated the extended intro but once I was more or less free in Paris I was happy.

Ding! Price threshold achieved! Thanks for the heads-up on the price update. Now I just need to contact Origin CS, since I’m getting an error when I confirm adding it to my Origin library.

Just to confirm, they fixed that small bug in The Saboteur where it didn’t work AT ALL on ATI cards on release, right?

The Saboteur purchase also comes with a $5 coupon toward the “top game downloads of 2011”, usable in January.

Not sure if this is an error or not, but greenman have some deals up including:

Gothic 4 - $3
Victoria 2 - $3
Sengoku - $3

Arkham city - $25
LOTR war of the north - $15

Canuck · 2012-01-01T04:39:51.000Z

Victoria 2 and Sengoku are both showing up for me as $14.97. The trade in value is $2.99 however.

To kick off the New Year with a bang, Green Man Gaming is giving away 20,000 copies of Sniper: Ghost Warrior when you use voucher code GREEN-MANSS-NIPER after 1300 GMT 01/01/12!

This is 8am eastern time today, so in like 20 minutes! :D

rubs chin With it being 2012 now, I wonder if there should be a new bargain thread…

Ahh so they must have been errors (or potentially future daily deals?), I can confirm I wasn’t crazy as I picked up sengoku for 3.

Canuck · 2012-01-01T05:12:56.000Z

Well it could be regional pricing. Pretty sweet deal for Sengoku. I would have gone for it for that price, living in Japan and all.

Blackadar · 2012-01-01T05:18:51.000Z

Well, something happened to GMG because their web site is down for “maintenance”. I hope those deals come back, because I’ll grab 'em for that price.

I just got in and ordered, then the site went down again, but I did get an email confirmation and key, so all is well. :)

I’m still getting the maintenance message…what’d you get and for what price?

lordkosc · 2012-01-01T06:26:54.000Z

Sniper Ghost Warrior for $0 dollars.

:D

Rachel_Brown · 2012-01-02T12:18:39.000Z

Why still use this thread? For kicks? 2011 is over.

kerzain · 2012-01-02T12:19:19.000Z

Just to troll you.

Not just that, but Deus Ex: HR comes down to 12 bucks on Amazon if you apply that code today. Plus it’s a Steamworks game, IIRC. Not bad at all. I was holding off at $16.99, but for 12 bucks I caved.

habibi · 2012-01-02T16:44:03.000Z

I don’t get it. Deus Ex HR was $10 in amazon just last week without needing to apply coupon. Did you miss it??
