While hardware bargains are few and far between, gaming bargains will be plentiful in 2023!
Put them here:
I will kick off! Surprisingly well reviewed Need for Speed Unbound is $32 over at Epic, once their coupon is applied.
If there’s anyone out there who doesn’t yet own Kerbal Space Program (and if you don’t, what the hell’s wrong with you?) it’ll be free on Epic from Jan. 5th-12th.
phew, thanks, I got misled by that confusing first post!
I haven’t seen Populous in ages. I remember playing it way back when, on, um, the Amiga? Hell, can’t remember. But I loved futzing with the terrain at least.
Dishonored (Definitive Edition) is the free game on Epic today.
Firaxis’ Marvel’s Midnight’s Suns’ is on sale on Xbox this week for $47. It just came out very recently and is apparently very good!
I was really enjoying Tom’s reports about that game in the Midnight Suns thread. Even if you’re not interested in the game, they’re great.
Start here:
Prime gaming for Jan 2023:
- Dishonored 2 GOG
- The Evil Within 2 GOG
- Breathedge
- Other random shit
How much time have you got?
Ubisoft+ is a dollar for a month.
Remember to cancel unless you love it.
Great deal on practically all of Wadjet Eye’s point-and-click adventures for $10. Unavowed is a modern classic–a must-play if you have any interest in adventure games. The Blackwell games are all great. I haven’t played Strangeland, but it’s a pretty recent release. And there’s a coupon for 33% off their most recent release, The Excavation at Hob’s Barrow.
Oh, also, Unavowed stars this Tom Chick look-alike, so if you play it you can pretend it’s him:
He seems like he is looking at a piece of pedestrian motel art that stole his soul.
Where are the now canon red dead redemption facial hairworks though.
He looks like he’s visually stunned.
“Hey kid, you ever … shoot a monkey?”
Surprisingly good week on Epic. All three games look interesting (though I’m not sure I’ll play them, of course.)
Divine Knockout - a cutesy multiplayer 3rd person battler that I might play with my kid
First Class Trouble - Amongus with graphics?
Gamedec - Cyberpunk RPG

Some supposedly overlooked games from last year are in a new Humble Bundle:
I’ve heard very good things about Haiku the Robot. And I assume the Supraland sequel is as smart as the original.
I mean, I certainly overlooked them, in that the Supraland game is the only one I recognize. Quite a few of them look interesting, though.
Can anyone speak to any of these? In particular I’m curious if Prehistoric Kingdom manages to avoid the latter-day Frontier traps and produce an interesting simulation.
