I missed the damn Witcher 2 flash deal. Damn!

It's banned here in Germany because of... too much violence? And if it's banned/indiziert (which means you can still buy it in a retail store if you're over 18, just not online) they have to wait a few years before it can be unbanned. So even if a much bloodier game like say Max Payne 3 (MP1 was indiziert too for a while) is released afterwards which makes Painkiller look harmless in comparison it still stays on the 'Index' until the publisher can try to remove it. River Raid was on there until 2002..

Haha, oh man. Those system requirements. I'm not sure my rig could run it.

Only played Tropico 3 but it's a great series of city building. Replace history with some nice humour and an island tropical setting. Reviews of the series is good too if you need more opinions.

I you can live without having it on Steam I would wait for the next GOG.com sale. Regular price is 5,99 there with some extras included.

Same here. I'm expecting Quantum Conundrum to win the poll, since the game had a fair amount of hype leading up to its release due to the developer, and most people aren't going to think to check Amazon and notice that it has the better deal on the game already, so Tiny and Big being a Daily Deal or Flash Deal would be very nice if I end up being right.

A lot of us did.
Gog.com it's the store form the Witcher company, the sales they do for the games are crazy.

Came up at a terrible time and then only for six hours, while other deals run for up to 8 hours. Shit sucks.A lot of us did.

There's still a chance that it'll be a daily/flash deal.A lot of us did.
They're both great games. Arkham Asylum is a fairly linear game. Amazing in every sense, played through it twice (PC/X360).
Arkham City is even better (IMHO). It's an open world game. Great story, amazing combat...everything. I love the game. I'm going for 100% completion.
For this price, do yourself a favor and get these games. If you love Batman comics, TAS or movies, you're gonna enjoy this (especially if you like The Animated Series).
P.S. Arkham City is the highest rated game of 2011 on Metacritic.
Yeah!? Well, I still haven't finished Witcher 1! So there!
But really, I kinda got bored after like 10 quests. The promise of tits did nothing for me.

It lost the community vote and was already a flash deal, so a daily deal is pretty much the only deal left.

"Not as good" as Asylum is still damn great, and I dunno if I'd even agree. They're pretty different, though; Asylum has a more linear-with-gadget-backtracking Metroid thing going on, and City is set in a dense open-world environment with areas that lead to linear story missions and lots of things to discover/explore. They're different formats but they're both good.

Sands of Time is one of the best PS2 games ever, that alone is worth the price.

It looks like the Ubisoft servers are down. Not being able to play the game you just bought because the DRM servers are down is the worst gaming related thing ever, even if its only one night.
I want to play AC2 i got from the sales.

I try to stick to open world games these days.
Obviously I play everything else too but I love buying games that last a long time since I don't usually buy much.

What are the odds of Skyrim ending up in a daily deal better than the current -50%..?

I liked City more than Asylum for;
a) More fan service
b) Wider variety of both enemies and environments
c) Mixing up the gameplay more (I enjoyed Asylum a lot, but let's be honest, it was very much in the mould of corridor with freeform combat -> room for silent predator rinse and repeat).
EDIT:
I'd say 0%

Quantum Conundrum is a bit meh, most of the puzzles rely heavily on platforming and timing, more than anything else, also the the humour in this game is APPALLING.
Legends of Grimrock has already been on sale at the same price.
Vote Tiny & Big, because it's the underdog.
Should ask Salsa to put that info in the OP.
you are legal when you are 16 over here

How well does the PoP trilogy play with a controller on PC? Does it have native support or will I have to use Xpadder?
Thanks for the link, but this deal is only available to people living in the US, so my vote goes to Quantum Conundrum. (but I'd probably pick Tiny&Big if the situation was different)

aww crap i STILL haven't pulled the trigger on Dead Island...
Is it worth it even if i am just gonna be playing COOP with one other person instead of 3 or 4? 2 of my friends jumped off

Nope. It tells you this before the checkout too.

Definitely. I even think it's the most fun playing alone.
I looked into and I read that it has controller support, but you'll have to mess with it to get it just right.
Thanks. I guess I can wait a little bit longer for a GOTY version of Arkham City or something.
Can we buy as a gift and redeem what we want from our inventory?
None.
