Amazon has the Deus Ex Augmented edition for $6 today

edit: Forgot Augmented and Director's Cut aren't the same, so you'd have to add $5 to get the DC content once you own the game

deus ex dc is $5 on the uplay store, activates on steam.
The problem is, in preparation for the steam sale I had $107 in my steam wallet. Unless steam has the sale I can't afford it lol.

Bought Shadow Warrior. The discount was too good to pass up.

On the other hand, I can't buy Valdis Story because I'm out of money... argh :(

Shadow Warrior is great. Even though it's a shooter I have to say that the best thing about it is actually the Katana + the special moves. Fighting hordes with it is soo much fun.

It also lets you search for keycards and it has many secrects because the levels are not just a long corridor. And it's about 14 hours long so more than twice as long as your typical Dudebro-Military Shootbang.

Oh it it also has bosses. And absolutely no QTEs or stealth sections.

I believe you!

So what about Binary Domain? Heard Giantbomb loved Binary Domain last year, couldn't really see it. What am I missing?

I haven't actually played Binary Domain yet, since I've heard bad things about the PC port and its controls.
(I picked up a 500 yen copy recently for the PS3 instead, since I've heard good things about it myself from people whose opinions I trust)
 
Had some spare £££ lying in my Steam account so had to decide between AoE2 or Civ5: Brave New World.....


*Bongo drum*

I hope I made the right choice. I just couldn't resist the nostalgia trip AoE2 will provide.



Hopefully Civ 5 DLC will be on sale again around Xmas. :)

Not familiar with the Dragon age series, is Origins the first? It looks like a good deal at that price...

Buy it if you like old school RPGs with some thought and strategy you'll probably like it. It's not as crazy in-depth as Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights but it's good enough. The ultimate edition also has a crapload of content.

Anyone know where to get Enslaved for Steam for $10 or less?

Shadow Warrior bought so hard.

Really tempted to get Wolf Among Us but I guess I'll wait for the Christmas sale. Borderlands 2 and Shadow Warrior will do for now.

Also why is Scribblenauts expensive?

also dat TR price. Still not worth the price but wow at the discount

Today's deals look really good.

The Stanley Parable and Shadow Warrior look really tempting and will get bought.

Argh, I guess Risk of Rain, Valdis Story: Abyssal City and Blood of the Werewolf are going to show up as flash/daily deals.

I think according to the leaked spreadsheet it ends today (amazon.com time what ever they use). I'm still holding out on a comparative Steam flash deal to save myself 20p or so because I'm a tight git.

If EA had any courage, they should do this:

Put DA: Origins on sale for $7.50 on Steam and $5 on Origin on the same day, same hours, everything. Then they should see how many sales they get on Steam that day. If they get a trivial amount because it was cheaper on Origin, then Origin exclusivity is a good call for their games. If they sell a bunch on Steam (I would wager good money they would sell more on Steam), then Origin exclusivity is a bad idea for them.

One simple test, and then they would have a really good idea what the value of putting your game in front of 65M people is.

I think I'll get Dust too. The art style looks incredible. I'm not really a big fan of simplistic 2D RPGs and platformers though but I think I might still enjoy it.

So this is the last day of the sale right? Doesn't seem like they would make an Encore day tomorrow if it messes up the schedule of the Midweek Madness.

I see a lot of negative reviews for Age of Empires 2 HD. Is that just because all they did was enhance the resolution? If so, definitely gonna pick it up.
