$5 for Eador alone is a great deal.

Yes this. Absolutely.

Cool. Thanks for pointing out Eador. Are the devs still actively patching up the game? Seems like it was in a pretty buggy state at release time.

Depths Of Peril is pretty solid, if a bit old-looking.

Whispered World is a lovely point and click adventure game.

Most recent patch hit Steam on July 23rd, before then June 28th. I got it during the summer sale and honestly walked away less impressed than I’d hoped to, but it’s not bad. I think it just starts slow, and therefore I intend to return when I’m up for pushing my way through that particular barrier.

That’s a fantasy TBS game, right?

Yup. one thing that’s particularly interesting is that its campaign is a series of individual maps, starting small and getting bigger. Also, each world map’s map isn’t the usual grid of hexes or squares. Instead, they’re made of territories akin to something like the Dominions series.

How long does a Groupees deal run? The site apparently doesn’t play well with my iPad, and I won’t be at a computer until late tomorrow night. I am all over Eador: MotBW for five bucks.

I will second this about Whispered World. Excellent game, and is worth $5 alone.

Weeks. You have plenty of time.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if GMG gives discounts to Splinter Cell Blacklist or is it to specific regions only or anything as I can’t search for this game in their website! Bummer!

Ranulf · 2013-08-20T23:39:25.000Z

So, JustCause2 for $3 or the whole bundle with 1+2+dlc for $6 on steam?

Greenman doesn’t sell Ubisoft games in North America.

Don’t know how long but Rome 2 is available for preorder off GmG for $49.99 ($10.00).

I’d go JC2 for $3 - you don’t need anything else and you won’t play JC1. If you really want the DLC get it all separately for an extra $1.73.

JC2 is pretty much the best game ever, I’m still in awe at the scale and smoothness of their engine every time I fire it up. :)

Only thing I might buy from the Origin sale (I have most there already) would be Mass Effect 3 DLC.
However I don’t see whether it’s on sale, too or not on that site and I can’t be arsed to look for it on some Bioware site or wherever they are hiding them these days.
