Amazon has the Tantalizing THQ Medley, found this at CAG.

$9.99 for the following steam bundle:

Homefront

Metro 2033

Red Faction Armageddon

Red Faction Guerrilla

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

It also comes with:

Thanks for the info. I’ll probably go to the giveaway thread with the ones I already own.

They also gave me a $5 credit to be used in Jan 2013, so that’s cool too. :)

Brad_Grenz · 2012-11-16T14:32:48.000Z

Yeah, all these deals include $5 credit vouchers towards Amazon’s “Best of the Year” games in January. Last year that was good enough to get some games free when they were discounted to $5.

Brad Grenz:

Sounds like Amazon has another really short deal planned today for both Prototype games + DLC at $10 starting 2pm PST. Unlocks on Steam.

Also, sounds like Sony has started sending out the $20 PSN credits for people who spent $100 in October, so keep an eye on your PSN messages.

Brad Grenz:

Saints Row: The Third is $10 on Amazon now. The DLC season pass is also $5. The game is Steam activated.

Brad Grenz:

Amazon has a Steam Key for Hotline Miami at $7.50.

They’re running really limited sales for the next couple hours in association with their Black Friday promo with Gamespot. I’ll add them as they go live.

THQ bundle now live for $10.

Includes:
Space Marine
Stalker
Red Faction Guerrilla
Red Faction Armageddon
Metro 2033
Homefront

All for Steam, as I understand it. Very limit quantity and time on this one. The Square Pack went fast.

A deal just went live on Amazon for the retail version of StarCraft 2 for $20 as well.

Giaddon · 2012-11-16T14:39:26.000Z

It’s $20 off Starcraft 2.

arrendek · 2012-11-16T14:42:58.000Z

Giaddon:

It’s $20 off Starcraft 2.

$20 off $38.55 for SC2 which makes it $18.55.

You have to click that link he posted for an automatic “coupon” and go to checkout.

Brian Rubin:

WHY CAN’T I ADD THIS TO MY CART STEAM?!

Reemul:

Unfortunately it’s not a space game so you can’t have it ;)

LOL - that said, it’s now $5 (the correct sale pricing), and looks like a great deal.

Lord_Twilight · 2012-11-16T23:33:44.000Z

I need to block this thread somehow. You guys are crushing me with good deals.

Brad_Grenz · 2012-11-16T23:52:37.000Z

It’s not going to get any easier. We’re just getting into bargain season.

Mike_Hussey · 2012-11-17T02:01:45.000Z

Gamestop have launched a big sale, but a lot of it appears to be just matching offers on other site, e.g. Cities in Motion and Crusader Kings 2 stuff. They also seem to have a lo of game soundtracks, which seems to be a rather odd fetish in my view.

Giaddon · 2012-11-17T03:38:27.000Z

Brian has that fetish.

KWhit · 2012-11-17T06:05:36.000Z

corkeh:

Gamersgate has a few good ones.
Crusader Kings 2 and DLC, Orcs Must Die 1 and 2 and DLC.

http://www.gamersgate.com/offers

CK2 is also on sale at GMG, plus you can probably use the 25% off coupon on it.

http://www.greenmangaming.com/crusader-kings-deals/

I have the base game of CK2 but haven’t played it yet. Are there any must have dlc packs I should get?

SlainteMhath · 2012-11-17T06:39:55.000Z

Thanks guys for the Amazon THQ deal. It’s still valid right now, and what great timing as I just received a $10 gift cert from a vendor at work for attending one of their webinars. Looks like they just bought me Metro 2033 and Space Marine, both of which were on my wishlist, plus all those others extra games and possibly another free game in January since I got the $5 credit with the order. Not a bad haul for $10!

Groupees.com has started Build-a-Bundle 4.

Pay what you want but the minimum goes up 75 cents per game you select from the bundle.

Steam keys:
Stellar Impact
Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood
Men of War (recommended)
Fantasy Wars (recommended)
Velvet Assassin

Desura/DRM free:
Zombies (“zombie” game about shooting one’s way through soulless corporate bureaucracy in lo-fi pixel art)
Orczz (some sort of tower defense game)
Vitrum (first-person puzzle platformer)
Qasir al-Wasat: A Night In-Between (stealth game where you are a frail invisible spirit summoned for the purposes of assassination - this one looks really cool.)

Rock Paper Shotgun discussed Zombies, Qasir al-Wasat and I -think- they’ve had coverage of Vitrum. The bundle also currently includes some music, and will throw in Insecticide (steam key) if they sell another 100-ish bundles. One more unannounced goal may throw in some other bonus.

BrianRubin · 2012-11-17T09:11:32.000Z

Stellar Impact isn’t worth $0.75. Just sayin’.

Now you tell me.

BrianRubin · 2012-11-17T09:16:50.000Z

I did write a review entry saying what a horrid time I had with the game maybe 4 months ago. ;)

Gigglemoo · 2012-11-17T09:33:58.000Z

Qasir al-Wasat looks great. Buying that one & Velvet Assassin. Any opinions on Orczz?

I enjoyed Insecticide, but it’s actually an incomplete game. Once you’re done you can see the cutscenes they did for the 2nd on youtube.

Space Game Junkie – 7 Jun 12

Stellar Impact: Not the Most Impactful of Beginnings... | Space Game Junkie

Shortly before I began this blog last year, a little multiplayer game called Stellar Impact, was released. Since it came out before the blog started, I figured I’d get to it once I reached that point on my list. Recently, however, the game was...

Sword of Islam. It adds a bunch of new places on the map. The next one to get would be Legacy of Rome.

The others are a mixed bag but they’re all pretty cheap, especially when you grab them on sale.

I liked it personally. It had some issues when i played, like some lag spikes, but was pretty fun.

The ship classes also aren’t very unique.
