I laughed when I saw Dead Space 3 on “sale” for $19.99, when they just had it as part of the Humble Bundle.

Picked up the Last of us for $40 at Frys. I think this is the first time I’ve seen it on sale.

Is Syndicate worth $6 for coop hijinks?

If you have 2-3 other people to coop with, absolutely. The coop in Syndicate is awesome. It’s probably too hard for less than 3 players, though.

Telefrog · 2013-08-21T09:27:50.000Z

I’d also say that the singleplayer game is worth $6.

For those with 3DS units in the US region, Atlus is shaving off 10 USD from three downloadable games: Code Princess, EO IV, and SM: Soul Hackers. Ubisoft is also doing a 30% off the eShop titles for 3DS.

Are either Code Princess or Soul Hackers must-haves?

Are you saying that’s not a low price, or that Defiance is a bad game? Because $5 hits my impulse-buy threshold, but if the game is crap then I’ll just write it off.

Didn’t like Code Princess so I sold my copy in less than a day. Soul Hackers I haven’t personally tried yet, but if you are a SM fan, my friends who do have it swear its good. But then again its a port of a PS2 game without the magical re-make treatment that made Ocarina of Time really wonderful on the 3DS, so Soul Hackers might be showing its age both graphically and game play wise.

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. :)

Thanks for the reply. The JC2 demo was fun enough I got the whole pack, figured for the price I might as well get JC1.

Soul Hackers is a port of a game that originated on Sega Saturn, not PS2, and it absolutely has had a remake treatment but it’s still Saturn-era game design, albeit from one of the best longrunning game series to date. YMMV. It was worth it to me. Also, it was as far as I know the last SMT game that still wasn’t playable in English. (The NES/SNES games were fan translated, the others all have commercial releases unless I’m missing something.)

66% off their ‘list’ price of $79.95! Geez.

The humble EA/Origin bundle just added C&C Red Alert 3 -Uprising and Populous to the beat the average section of the bundle.

delirium · 2013-08-22T11:57:00.000Z

Populous? Like, Populous, from 20 years ago?

scharmers · 2013-08-22T12:18:35.000Z

I wasn’t expecting much from the follow-up of the EA Bundle (which in itself was pretty damn good), but that’s… pretty lame.
