Bargain Thread 2012 Edition

Brad Grenz:

Couple new Packs from Amazon:

Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY & Batman: Arkham City for $10

All these unlock on Steam. “OCTOFUN1” code still applies for 25% off, one use only.

I was about to post this one. Great offer.

The entire Geneforge saga, $10 or pay what you want at IndieGameStand:

That’s quite the deal. These games are highly recommended despite their dated and old-school approach (or perhaps because of it). The first has a great story and a good turn-based combat system, although the UI and presentation are the biggest barriers to entry. There’s a gradual improvement as the series goes along, and even by the second (which I’m playing right now) it feels much more refined.

TurinTur · 2012-10-08T03:36:30.000Z

And again I come too late. Was about to post the Geneforce pack. :(

Great deal, if everything I heard of the games is true.

Should be noted that the Geneforge games from the deal posted above are reddemable on GoG or Steam, at least according to the IndieGameStand website.

Jeff Vogel is a good guy, and all of Spiderweb Software’s games are well crafted and very enjoyable if you dig that old-school isometric RPG vibe.

Technically they are redeemable in both Gog AND Steam ;)

Plus you get Gnomoria if you kick in $10, and whatever game they’re releasing next. Good deal.

Gigglemoo · 2012-10-08T08:38:43.000Z

I’ll toss in a recommendation for Geneforge as well.

The stories are genuinely interesting, and the games are long. I think I put 15 hours into a couple of them on Steam.

I kicked in $10 for Gnomoria a few days ago and already have Geneforge. PM me if you want a Steam or GOG code for Geneforge. One person will get it. Please have at least 100 posts. Also, same deal for SpaceChem.

Edit: Both gone.

When I get the $10 from GMG, do you think I can apply the 25% code and this $10 into Dishonored? That would be a REAL bargain!!

Confirmed. And you can just download the executable, too.

It’ a shame you can’t actually buy it through Steam, being in the UK my Amazon account is with Amazon.co.uk not Amazon.com.

With Dishonored in my cart, I was able to apply the 25% off code and apply my $10 credit, but I didn’t purchase the game. I was just curious if it would work.

It does indeed work, it’s downloading in Steam now for me thanks to GMG and $35. Wasn’t going to order it but the reviews and that deal pushed me over.

JustinFletcher · 2012-10-09T12:25:56.000Z

You just pushed me over. I’m going to be all about XCOM for a while, but I can’t resist a bargain like that. Especially when I know it’s a game that won’t immediately go to the ol’ backlog.

lordkosc · 2012-10-09T12:42:17.000Z

:O

I also got the $10 gmg credit and Civ5, I did not expect this!

I got in on that crazy deal where I got XCOM for only $35.99 like 3 weeks ago when you could trade in a free game they gave out.

They then also credited me back $1 when it was on sale last week for $34.99.

Soon GMG will just pay me up front for a free game they want to give me.

I pretty much got XCOM for $24.99. :D

Syzygy · 2012-10-09T13:07:14.000Z

Do you still get a $10 credit for buying Xcom or is that now expired? I couldn’t see mention on the GMG web page for Xcom shortly before it went live last night.

lordkosc · 2012-10-09T13:08:59.000Z

Pre-orders only, i believe.

It’s done for NA customers. You just get 10% off the game itself now.

unbongwah · 2012-10-09T15:36:48.000Z

Not much of a deal, but: Awesomenauts is $7 from the developer’s website (activates on Steam); sale ends soon.

malkav11 · 2012-10-09T16:14:44.000Z

Steam midweek deals are up: 66% off Risen and Risen 2 (making the base game $17 and the base game w/ all DLC $25 - I don’t think cheap enough for me, especially not right now), and $5 Blocks that Matter, which apparently now has Workshop support.
