From what I understand From didn’t do the Ninja Blade port. They made the original console version but the port was outsourced.

Crusaders Kings II on Steam for $9.99. But what’s with the collection priced at $24.99? If you buy everything separately it only comes out to be $16.50 (I think).

Thraeg · 2012-06-10T10:11:29.000Z

Probably just hadn’t finished updating. The collection is showing at $12.49 for me.

Seems worth grabbing based on all the positive stuff I’ve heard about it. Is the DLC worth bothering with for $2.50, though? The descriptions sound like all cosmetic ephemera. More music is appealing if it’s actually good, but I have no idea of the quality.

Also, this is the last day of the sale, so time to bite on Warlock for $10.

All of the Crusader Kings II DLC is cosmetic -except- for the Ruler Designer. With the base game, you -must- play one of the hundreds of prepopulated characters (or folks that crop up as randomly generated by the game as you play). The Ruler Designer lets you build a character to play.

Well less than £10 for all of the CKII stuff is abargain so i’m in. Been some great reductions recently.

The three first Broken Sword games are $2.50 on Steam. (Together, not individually).

I actually just started playing the GoG version of the first Broken Sword yesterday. Pretty enjoyable and, so far, no obscure puzzles…they have been logical puzzles.

The GameFly summer sale rolls on, with deals on The Saboteur ($5), Assassin’s Creed: Revelations ($20), and more.

I’ll probably grab that for a rainy day. I may already have the first one from GoG.

Kind of morally grey, but if someone want the BF3 premium pack for cheap…

NeoGAF

bombafield 3 premium ... $29.52

oh lawdy lawdy, gaf, my first bomba thread. However, this is not your typical bomba. Basically, what you need to do is set a proxy / VPN (I recommend the VPN) to India and purchase premium through Origin.. It costs roughly 1500 rupees...

I remember when some people did this with BF3 at release, I think eventually Origin realized they were playing another regions game and removed the game from their accounts.

Shhh! You’ve gotta keep this kind of stuff quiet man! :P

stusser · 2012-06-11T13:14:13.000Z

I have no moral problems with that, but this is EA, buying directly through Origin. You really want to chance EA banning your account and cutting you off from all your Origin games as well as MMOs like TOR?

Believe me, it didn’t.

wilykat · 2012-06-11T14:06:56.000Z

for what it’s worth, I really liked Saboteur.

Most folks here were more pleased that a cat with a cream-flavored arsehole with Saboteur, myself included

(my favorite whimsical “Irish” saying from the game :p )

TurinTur · 2012-06-11T14:16:00.000Z

I also liked Saboteur! But since Gamefly bought D2D and it provoked a chaos for months with people that couldn’t play their legally bought games, I can’t recommend buying it from them.

walTer · 2012-06-11T14:17:07.000Z

Tossing in kudos for Saboteur. I had a great time with it. I really enjoyed the story and the gameplay was pretty great.

5 bucks is a steal for it.

Was that supposed to be a threat? ;)
