Video Game Deals Catch-All

That's a criminally low price for Rockstar's best game. If you haven't played it yet, $3.74 is very little excuse not to.

Also, while I hate carpet-bomb recommendations like "Waaagh everyone should play x!" as if that holds true for everyone, I make a qualified exception for Red Dead Redemption. If you like Rockstar or GTA-type games, I think Red Dead Redemption is the perfect manifestation of that style of game, by reigning in the scope of the game's geography, lives, problems, violence, and narrative, to deliver the most believable and human game in this form. It's also one of those games that we will never ever see again, at least at the AAA level. So for those reasons I'd think many people would be remiss not to experience it.

GMG has Bioshock Infinite for $16 after GMG20-KCDKK-H4TPB. Seasons Pass is $14 (coupon doesn't work), and Bioshock 1 & 2 are $4 a piece.

Is Midnight Club L.A. worth playing? Giant Bombs review says it's a bit punishing in the races.

Curses! Almost wish I hadn't seen this. Finished it on 360, been meaning to double-dip on PC when it was cheap. Plus the Season Pass discount too. Hovering over checkout button...

PSN Store sale

Journey and Tokyo Jungle for $7.49 each

I might finally bite the bullet on the two.

Only $3.75 apiece with PS+, so I picked them up. Also, Spelunky just released for PSN and is $15 ($12 PS+) with cross-buy so you get both the PS3 and Vita versions. This was on my "I'll get it on sale" list for 360 and then later was added to my steam wishlist, but $12 for both TV and portable versions finally pushed me to buy.

Did you play and/or like the other Midnight Clubs? I enjoyed it when it came out but, haven't touched it since.

* I like the arcade-y racers, never have been a fan of racing simulators.

I'm a Burnout fan. Never tried a Midnight Club. It's so tricky with racers. If they don't have the right feel I tend to drop out of them immediately.

Edit: Maybe I'll just dig out Burnout Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit instead.

BF3 Premium is $12 @ Gamefly with coupon: GFDAUG20

For those of you who got the EA Humble Bundle and want to have the full experience.

So the current IndieGala bundle is Theatre of War

What's the consensus on these? The trailers they show are just CGI scenes with no gameplay.

I was thinking about grabbing the Command & Conquer The Ultimate Collection bundle. Do these games hold up or are they just really dated and crappy?

Paradox is having a Humble Bundle. From the newsletter:

You’ve been demanding it for months, but we were too modest to make it happen… until now! The Humble Paradox Bundle will go live today, 8 p.m. CEST (11 a.m. PDT), and you can make a donation to your choice of worthy charities while picking up a bundle of Paradox favorites!

Of course, some of our fans aren’t very humble at all, and they’ll want to make a bigger donation. Which is why, if you donate more than $125, you get The Big Kahuna package… a copy of EVERY SINGLE PARADOX GAME on Steam (not including Europa Universalis IV or DLC packages)!

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena [Download] $5.00

Cheapest price I have seen on this by 10$

Get hype for the new movie!

Not sure what the DRM situation is though.

AFAIK, all versions of CoR:AoDA have fairly obnoxious TAGES DRM, except the DRM-free version on GOG. It's a great game, but you may want to hold out for the next time it's on sale at GOG.

I think that's a fairly common price. I bought it for that on Direct 2 Drive in 2009 for $5 according to a quick search of my receipt emails. But I don't think I've seen it cheaper.

Yeah Riddick has been $5 repeatedly. I think maybe on Steam it never went below $10, but now it's not on Steam anymore.

Gnomoria for $2.72 is a steal for that.

KRZ, Rogue Legacy and Divekick are all pretty essential.

Anybody dropping $125?

I might kick in a dollar to get War of the Roses, it is at least a sort of fun MP experience.

That's a great deal.

For what it's worth, I have created a thread for trading and gifting spare keys here.

The first batch are all individual Steam keys. CKII & Magicka are bundled under a single Steam key.
