lordkosc:

GMG does not want to make any profit this holiday weekend!

This is now live, I got Dishonored for $45 since GW2 is sold out.

Thanks!

Looks like Amazon has added some Ubisoft deals including an Assassin’s Creed pack for $20 and a Prince of Persia pack for $12.50. No Steam on those, of course, and I’m not sure if they’ll unlock in Uplay.

Also noticed a Dead Space dual pack for $8. Should unlock in Origin.

hate to be a negative nellie but the Ass Creed pack doesn’t include revelations. only worth it if it does IMHO.

dead space pack looks good though.

Hydrophobia: Prophecy is on sale for $1.25 over at steam. Anyone think it’s worth that much?

Telefrog · 2012-09-04T10:34:55.000Z

No. Not really. It’s totally worth a buck twenty-five, but it’s not worth your time.

I understand. Thanks.

Giaddon · 2012-09-04T11:05:08.000Z

I disagree. I liked Hydrophbia. It only takes around three hours to complete, and I thought that time well spent. Worth it for the water physics.

Giaddon · 2012-09-04T11:22:29.000Z

Company of Heroes 2 preorder is $40 on Impulse/Gamestop right now.
Darksiders 2 is $33.50

Assassin’s Creed: Revelations is $15 on Gamefly
More Ubisoft deals.

SlyFrog · 2012-09-04T11:52:08.000Z

What/where is the cheapest I can get Guild Wars 2 right now?

zombo77 · 2012-09-04T13:44:05.000Z

Probably on GMG with the 25% off code if NCsoft has not stopped selling the digital download version in the US too because they’re horrible luddites.

GMG is out of stock at the moment (US).

Goddamn it, why did I buy the RPG over on Amazon when I should have known Steam would beat them sooner or later? Why?

That said, I suppose I don’t really want the RTS particularly, so oh well.

Despite being a long ways off, that’s awful tempting.

Murbella · 2012-09-04T19:13:25.000Z

Greenman gaming will probably pay you $20 to preorder it in a month though.

Yeah, I never really understood the hate for this game. It is short, and the comms guy has an annoying voice, but I can’t think of any other real knocks against it. It’s pretty polished for an indie game, the levels are varied enough to keep things interesting, and yup, the water physics are something to behold. Since it seems to always be on sale for $5 or less, I don’t see the shortness really counting against it. I paid $6-something for it during one of the holiday sales, and still feel like I got a bargain.

Murbella · 2012-09-04T21:32:54.000Z

I haven’t finished hydrophobia yet after buying it on a steam sale,but it seems like a pretty fun game and the water is truly impressive.

Brad_Grenz · 2012-09-05T03:05:20.000Z

Is there anything worse than having 390 MS points?

kerzain · 2012-09-05T03:20:03.000Z

Having a PS3?
