Bargain Thread 2012 Edition

Steam has Driver San Francisco for 7.49, 75% off. What are the chances it might be lower during the summer sale?

LockerK · 2012-06-17T11:55:52.000Z

Slim to none. 75% off is usually the max on big name titles so there would have to be a drop in the base price.

Armiger · 2012-06-17T11:59:41.000Z

Yeah, but its possible they lower the base to $20 and take 75% off of that. Whatever though, I picked up the deluxe edition for 8.74 and installing now.

Use SLEEP-INGDO-GSTEN at Greenman Gaming in the next 24 hours to pre-order Sleeping Dogs for $36. 8/14 release date, Steamworks.

I’ve never used them, so I can’t comment on the quality of their service. But I don’t remember people who have used them voicing damning concerns. The base game and expansion both require Steam, so you won’t need to worry about downloading the game from Get Games or having another digital library to manage, if that’s your concern.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

This actually might have been the first Ultima game I played, if memory serves right. Never played Martian Dreams, though. Went back and played IV and V, and 6 was one of my favorite games ever.

I miss that.

What do you think about the Indie Fort Bundle #2? http://www.gamersgate.com/indiefort-bundle. It’s $5.99 for 3079, Fortix 2, Aztaka, Dark Scavenger, Demise: Ascension, and Intrusion 2.

I remember liking the demise games a lot (Mordor, Rise of the Ku’tan, etc.).

Haven’t played any of them, but they look interesting enough to justify a dollar per game.

I enjoyed Fortix and Fortix 2…mindless fun based on Qix.

KiloOhm · 2012-06-18T15:43:39.000Z

3079 has enough interesting ideas to at least try out, if you can get over the graphics.

Rock Paper Shotgun on Dark Scavenger. I bought it. It’s weird and neat and fun. I’m thinking this bundle is probably worth it for that alone.

Nightgaunt · 2012-06-18T18:43:00.000Z

Aztaka was okay, maybe edging up to good. It’s definitely unique.

Last hurrah of the Gamefly summer sale. Too many deals to list here, but there’s some good stuff.

Telefrog · 2012-06-19T06:01:02.000Z

For anyone interested, the GetGamesGo offer for Civ V Gods and Kings at 27% off worked. I plugged the serial number into Steam this morning.

Does Gamefly require any specialized client software or DRM, or is it just a download and entering a key? I’ve never purchased from them before. Thanks.
