Wacky puzzles!

Translation : get ready to search the internet to figure out what the designers were thinking.

Creole Ned:

Steam Daily Deal for August 31 is The Next Big Thing for $14.99 (50% off). It is described thusly: “The Next BIG Thing is the new, hilarious adventure gem from the creators of Runaway. A great adventure game in high definition, loaded with laughs, tributes, mysteries and wacky puzzles!”

Wacky puzzles!

This is by the same folks who did the Runaway series. There is a demo.

Wasn’t my thing, but the developer has its fans.

Shit, Bargain Thread! You are failing me!

Amazon’s deals of the day are Xbox 360 games. Right now, it’s Tekken 6 (360) for $9.99 and some awful looking Naruto game for $24.99

MSUSteve · 2011-08-31T13:25:58.000Z

Looks like Splatterhouse is coming up in an hour and a half. If it’s $10 or less, I’ll bite.

Telefrog · 2011-08-31T13:27:56.000Z

I think the next one up is Lost Planet 2. I hope it’s $9.99.

MSUSteve · 2011-08-31T14:57:07.000Z

Per the @amazongames Twitter feed:

@amazongames:

In 10 mins, get Lost Planet 2 or Splatterhouse for just $9.99. http://t.co/nTfaxyY

Wow, I missed Enslaved 360 for $10 and Lost Planet 2 for $10 in that lightning deal.

Plus the deal of the day sold out, which is rare. The DotD in this case was a $75 amazon credit if you bought a 250Gb 360.

MSUSteve · 2011-09-01T06:38:51.000Z

Enslaved has been $10 before, so I’m sure you’re get another chance Rock8.

If you do get Enslaved, let me know what you think of it! I’ve been on the fence about that one for a while, and I figure I’ll go with the Inverse Law of Rock8Man on whether or not I get it.

Modern Warfare 2 for $15 might just be low enough to entice me. Thanks for the heads-up.

MSUSteve · 2011-09-01T12:32:58.000Z

$9.99 sounds fair for me to finally play World at War.

Creole_Ned · 2011-09-01T12:43:51.000Z

Or the complete pack for $4.99.

I know there were at least some people who once upon a time were curious enough about Darkspore that they said they’d take a plunge once it dropped below $20 or so. Well, Impulse now has Darksport Limited Edition available for $14.97

I haven’t given it a spin yet, but at least it does look pretty fun.

Sold! Thanks for the heads up, I haven’t been checking Impulse as much lately.

Hey!! How about that. Sold. Thanks for the head’s up.

Or $45USD if you’re in Australia…

Does anyone know where exactly that extra $30 goes? Is it pure profit for… the publisher? Who?

CAG seems to have an exclusive deal with D2D where you can purchase Din’s Curse for $4 (down from $20) with the code CAGDINS80. This is NA only though, as I tried it on the D2D UK site and it failed to work. Awesome deal for any of those late in picking it up though, or have friends they want to toss copies to.
