Game deals

[Harrison]

Post here whenever you see a great PC gaming deal available.

[Harrison]

Left4dead 1 and 2 currently 75% off on Steam.

They are also selling them as a combined Bundle for £5.74, which is a real bargain for loads of co-op Zombie killing action.

And if anyone is feeling like getting friends involved there is also a 4 pack available, so you can then hand out licenses to 3 of your friends for some 4 player co-op gaming.

X Superbox

But even better at the moment is the X Superbox. This contains every game and expansion in the X series for just £9.99. So if you like your space trading and combat here is the chance to buy one of the greatest series in one bundle.

And although I do already own most of the games in this series separately I decided to grab this so I have them all ready to go in Steam, with patches etc more easily available.

[Harrison]

This weekend Steam have some great game boxsets on offer, well worth grabbing, even if you already own a couple of the games in them.

But first we have Skyrim, 50% off, so if you don't own it yet here is a great chance to get hold of a copy.

Next we have the Elder Scrolls Collection. This is only a daily deal so you need to grab it before Friday evening. This includes Morrowind II and IV GOTY editions that included the main expansion packs with each. Plus you also get Skyrim and its new expansion, Dawnguard. All of this bundle for just £40.98

However, the best deal is the following one.

Quakecon Pack. 76% off at £69.99, instead of £294.59. This pack includes a lot of content. Including Doom, Doom 2, Doom 3.. Doom expansion packs for each, Fallout 3 GOTY, Fallout New Vegas plus expansions, Heretic, HeXen series, Hunted, Quake I, II, III, IV.. plus expansions, Rage, Rogue Warrior, Spear of Destiny, Elder scrolls III GOTY, Elder Scrolls IV GOTY, Elder Scrolls V Skyrim, Wolfenstein 3D, Return to Castle Wolfenstein... and the list goes on.

[Tiago]

I found Divinie Divinity at 4,99 in Steam and it is a game in 100 top list of pc gamer....

[Harrison]

It is a great game, and even better at that price.

Also worth noting is that many of the recent big MMORPGs are now free to play on Steam.

Dungeons and Dragons Online
The Lord of the Rings Online
Star Trek Online
Age of Empires Online

And loads more. 20 free to play MMO's in total on there. Most using a micro payment method whereby you play the main game for free, but can buy extras like equipment and side quests for small payments.

[Harrison]

GamersGate have Supreme Commander 75% off this week.

You can get the Gold Edition, including the original game plus the expansion pack for just £3.75. bargain!

[Harrison]

Steam have a nice "Best of British" indie Bundle now available. For £7.99 you get 6 games including the very good "Gratuitous Space Battles" and DEFCON.

[Harrison]

Humble Bundle 6 has been released. It contains some great Indie games and is well worth donating to get them.

https://www.humblebundle.com/

[Harrison]

The site http://www.getloadedgo.com/ has a great deal.

Pick any 2 of the games on the page and get them both for just £10. Some good games to choose from too.

I've grabbed some myself and the Steam activation serial codes arrive my email instantly upon purchase via Paypal.

[Harrison]

Total War weekend special offer on Steam until 1st October.

Most games are at least 25% off, but there are 2 bundles that get you much more:

Total War Master Collection - £24.98 - includes:

Medieval II: Total War
Rome: Total War - Gold
Empire: Total War
Napoleon: Total War
Total War Battles: Shogun
Total War: Shogun 2
Total War: Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samuri

So ever main game in the series other than the original Medieval and Shogun games, that are not needed as the sequels are included. Well worth buying at this price. Just be warned that HDD space requirement is over 130GB for them all together, meaning this is also the download size. Ouch!

Total War Mega Pack - £26.24

This includes the following, so doesn't include the newest Shogun 2 games.

Medieval II: Total War
Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms
Rome: Total War - Gold
Rome: Total War - Alexander
Empire: Total War + All DLC
Napoleon: Total War + All DLC

Not quite as much of a bargain as the Master Collection. However you do get all of the expansions and DLC extras for each game, which you don't get any of with the Master Collection, just the main games. So which to buy depends if you want the Shogun games, and you will safe the most buying that bundle, but you will then need to buy the expansions and DLC separately. However all Total War Expansions and DLC are also reduced this weekend.

[Harrison]

Good Old Games (gog.com) are offering the Divinity Anthology as a "Pay what you want" package until the 18th October.

http://www.gog.com/divinity

You can pay whatever you want for the Divinity Anthology, but you have to pay at least $13.03 to get all 3 games in the series. You can pay whatever you want for the original Divine Divinity, but you will need to pay over $6.47 to also get the sequel Beyond Divinity, and you must pay at leasr $13.03 to get all 3 games including Divinity II.

Divinity II is also a very special Developer's Cut which includes both the original and expansion packs, but also has built in a load of extra features as it is the version the developers used when testing the game, so you can access any area, weapon, turn yourself into an creature in the game. you can basically play around with the game however you want.

[Harrison]

Games Workshop Blood Bowl Chaos Edition for £14.48

Steam are running a weekend special offering discounts on most "Focus Home Interactive" games, some up to 75% off.

This includes Games Workshop Blood Bowl legendary Edition, but doesn't include the newly released (this week) Blood Bowl Chaos Edition. There is however a way to still buy the new Chaos Edition with a 28% discount...

If you buy Blood Bowl legendary Edition with a 50% discount for £7.49, once purchased if you look at the game's store page you will see you are then offered the ability to upgrade to the new Chaos Edition with a 65% discount, costing £6.99.

So you can get the new Chaos Edition for a total price of £14.48, rather than the RRP of £19.99. http://www.amibay.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Harrison]

Good Old Games as the interplay Complete Catalog on offer for the next 2 weeks. It's another pay what you want deal, gaining more games for the more you pay. Pay $34.99 or more and receive the full 32 games on offer. Very nice deal.

http://www.gog.com/interplay/

The collections title is a bit misleading as Interplay released a lot of very big games over the years and many are not included here, so I'm thinking only the games already being hosted by GOG were included. Still, its a nice retro bundle from a great developer.

[Harrison]

A free copy of Plants vs Zombies.

You can grab a free copy of this great game over the next week. The offer was advertise prior to its redemption period on various international sites, however not the redemption period has arrived the site states it is only open to US citizens. But fear not, there is an easy way around this using a Proxy server.

[Harrison]

Humble THQ Bundle has just gone live. A very nice Humble Bundle containing the following titles:



Saints Row: The 3rd
Metro 2033
Red Faction Armageddon
Darksiders
Company of Heroes
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor


There are some amazing games in that list, and you only need to pay over $5.62 at the moment to secure them all. They are redeemable/unlockable on Steam for download.

Annoyingly I already owned the top 3 in that list, plus the first Darksiders on PS3, but I grabbed the bundle anyway at this price to get the CoH games and Darksiders on the PC. Doesn't look like you can redeem the titles individually (other than Saints Row), so serials can't be given to friends. But at this price why bother, everyone should go and grab this.

[Harrison]

GetGames has another Get Loaded 72 hours. http://www.getloadedgo.com

This time it's a Sega themed collection. Buy any 2 of the 6 games for £10.

£6.24 is for Crysis 2 Maximum Edition. - Crysis, Crysis Warhead, & Crysis 2 Maximum Edition is still £9.99 ;)

[Harrison]

It was definitely the whole collection, but only for a 12 hour flash sale. Still a great deal for £9.99 though, as are all the other remaining deals.

I did get a bit carried away during these Christmas Steam sales, as well as at other sites like GetGamesGo and GamersGate that sell Steam games. Whole series for under £10 is hard to resist, and some were just a couple of pounds. My account now has over 400 games and I've no ldea when I will ever play them all. :lol:

I even grabbed Civilization III for 87p, even though I owned the original game (but not the expansions) on CD, and also already own the later IV and V. III was a very different game, like the earlier Sim Cities. A bit more isomeric and functional, rather than the graphical polish of the more recent ones, but great to play.

[Harrison]

Lots of game deals around at the moment to celebrate Valentine's Day week.

http://www.getloadedgo.com/

GetGamesGo has another Get Loaded Weekend:

[Harrison]

Fifa 13 available for just £9.99 at the moment.

http://www.simplycdkeys.com/

They also have Guild Wars for £19.99, which is about half the current Arena.net direct price.

[Harrison]

Another new site I've just discovered:

www.bundlestars.com (http://www.bundlestars.com)

This is another Indie bundle site, with proceeds split between charity, the games developers and the site.

There latest Bundle 10 is well worth buying. For just £3.91 you get a lot of games for your money, including some such as Air Conflicts: Pacific Carriers, which was only released at the end of last year and still retails on Steam for £22. So a bargain!

[Harrison]

Humble Bundle has an Origin bundle on offer at the moment. For less than £5 you can buy a lot of really good games that are all worth more than the asking price each.

https://www.humblebundle.com/

Including:

Dead Space
Dead Space 3
Burnout Paradise The Ultimate Box
Crysis 2
Mirror's Edge
Medal of Honor
Battlefield 3
The Sims 3

Showing how popular this bundle is, they have already received over $2.2 Million!!! Nice.

[Harrison]

Indie Gala has a few nice bundles at the moment. All donation bundles starting at $0.99 and only costing around $4 to obtain everything in each bundle. Well worth it.

Theatre of War bundle:

http://www.indiegala.com/

This is the current main one on office, containing all 3 games in the Theatre of War series, plus all of the second game's expansions. All for $4.70 if you want them all.

The latest Humble Bundle 9 (https://www.humblebundle.com/) is out.

Some great games included again this time:

Trine 2
Mark of the Ninja
Eets Munchies
Brutal Legend
FTL: Faster than Light
FEZ

Plus some more games are going to be unlocked further into the bundle's time.

You can get everything currently for $4.42 or more. Any of these games are worth that money alone, let alone together. Trine 2 is brilliant, as is Mark of the Ninja.

I just grabbed it myself for FEZ and FTL as there were the only 2 I still didn't own, and I nearly purchased FEZ at the weekend for £3.99 on it's own in a Steam sale, but put it off.. I'm now glad I did. :)

[Harrison]

This week's Humble Bundle is a Team 17 one. Lots of Worms, Alien breed trilogy and Superfrog HE. Well worth getting.

[Harrison]

That's interesting... Especially considering how the altered the Steam activation system for Humble Bundle recently. Before you just received a S/N for each game and activated it by copy/paste into Steam. Now you have to link your Steam account to your Humble Bundle account and clicking next to a game automatically activates it in your Steam account, which is much easier. I was sure they implemented that to prevent people giving away or selling individual keys as the new system hides the actual s/n.

Regarding the WB bundle. Very nice. Sadly I already own them all! :lol:

It's also really annoying because I only recently purchased those 2 Batman games on Steam for slightly more than the total bundle cost to get them both in Steam (already owned the retail copies of both but they refused to activate in Steam and needed GFWL, whereas the latest Steam versions don't use that now).

[Harrison]

The current Stardock Humble Bundle is really nice for anyone interested in Sci-Fi and Space Strategy games. Some of the games included haven't been out that long and are still over £20 on Steam. Plus you get DLC extras too. Well worth it.

I remember being quite excited at the idea, when it came out, of having the Alien and a Predator as playable characters. Is it any good though?

[Kin Hell]

It's slick on a Faaaaast PC, but not really my bag. - Mine was a Torrent, purely for evaluation purposes of course....

but even the 75% off doesn't give me a boner to buy it. :eyebrow:

[Teho]

There was some controversy around Mortal Kobat X on PC, enough that I sought a refund (but didn't get it). Specifically, Warner Bros announced they abandoned the PC version to focus on the console versions. Meaning the PC version would get no more bugfixes or DLC, and there were still some nasty bugs in there so there was a bit of an uproar. I sought a refund on the grounds that they had sold an unfinished product and announced that they were not going to finish it, ie they were not going to deliver what I had paid for. I hadn't played the game yet, but I had owned it for some months so didn't really qualify. And I didn't get it. I actually considered taking it to the norwegian consumer council as this definitely is in breach of norwegian consumer's rights. But I didn't bother in the end.

I still haven't played it. Googling it now however it seems Warner Bros changed their minds about six months later and continued support after all, fixed the remaining bugs and released the rest of the DLC. I didn't know this before now. I might get this for the DLC, I'll be paying for another copy of the game which I won't get but that is still cheaper than getting the DLC on it's own.

[Harrison]

I enjoyed it when it came out, but only played it a bit before moving on and doing the standard thing of "will play it again later". And haven't yet! Lol.

Was worth it if you like best em ups. Still always prefer Tekken over any other though.

Tekken 2 is still my favourite out of them all, or the arcade version of Tekken 3.

Also the Dreamcast version of Soul Calibur. That still looks great.

Yeah.... Tekken 2 on the Original PS just showed the true power potential of Play Station for me.

Same with all Platforms though.... Consumers never see the true capabilities of their Hardware because of perpetual "Up-grading" for the next best sh!t before the best was gotten from what they already had....

Can't remark on Dreamcast cos i'm a bit more BADASS! :lol:

[Harrison]

You never had or used a Dreamcast? Still one of my favouite consoles. Didn't have the largest catalogue but a lot of the games it did have were really polished. Some revolutionary ones too.

Had more vibrant texture mapping then the PS2 too.

[J T]

I can't remember which version of Soul Calibur I spent time playing (perhaps it was #2, and maybe on the gamecube, I was pretty drunk most of the time it got played). I do remember a few of the characters being pretty cool though, with neat moves like the pirate and the weird monster thingy with claw hands.

[Kin Hell]

[Harrison]

I noticed that. Hasn't realised either. Most of the extras are ship eye candy though and not required.

That big bundle isn't just Elite though, but the publishers whole catalogue

[Teho]

For Elite you only need the base game and the Horizons season pass to have the entire game as it is today. Ship paintjobs and other cosmetics have always cost real money but you're better off buying them from the frontier store at the website.

The cosmetics haven't been attainable through gameplay means before but that is about to change, following the next update coming in late august you will earn arx points through just playing the game normally and these can be exchanged for paintjobs and such at the store.

As for gamedeals, I saw Prey was at 80% on steam if you still haven't got it.

[Demon Cleaner]

Just bought the Ultima VII complete edition and the Ultima VIII gold edition on GOG for 2.98€ together. Never really played any of them and even though I have them in some collection I thought that 3€ won't probably hurt my wallet.

[Harrison]

I've owned the Ultima collection on GOG for some years now (even though I do also own the original boxed games too). 7 is the most iconic game in the series. It saw a lot of expansion packs and had a large world to explore. It did have a slightly odd 3D perspective and awkward mouse driven controls. I've not played most of them for a very long time though. Finished 7 back in the last 90s. 8 was similar but a more normal 3D isometric view, but it wasn't a good as 7.

9 was very different with a full 3D world, with an over the shoulder 3d person pespective more common these days and played quite differently. But 9 would probably be the most playable these days. 7 and 8s mouse pointer controls are very clunky by today's standards. They really should remake 7.

Tempted to try getting them running on the Steam Deck, but I bet the controls would be impossible.

[Demon Cleaner]

The deck's screen would probably be too small. Not really meant for that kind of games.

[Harrison]

Back in the day most were running it in 1024x768 so the Decks resolution is fine and everything should be readable. The issue is more likely the mouse controls that might be too fiddly with the trackpads. Still tempted to test it though. I'm just really into testing any old PC games on the Deck just to see if they will run. I've only had one game so far that failed to run.

But if running on a modern PC there is the program Exult. This runs Ultima 7 in higher resolution and adds a lot of new features and mods, and upgrades the graphics. Well worth using.

I meant that any handheld including the deck are just too small, even if the screen would be 8K, you just don’t see enough. I need reading glasses anyway.

Humble Bundle has a nice games bundle just launched, called Survival Instinct.

Worth the price just for State of Decay 2 and The Long Dark.

Yeah, great deal, but I'm not too much into this survival genre, to much micro managing. Played a bit Generation Zero lately, after 5-6 hours I got bored and thought I have better games to play.
