The latest Humble Bundle is a DAMN good deal. You can get Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Psychonauts, LIMBO, and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP with a donation, and if it's more than $7.70 (right now) you'll get Bastion as well. Really an unbeatable deal especially if you only have one or zero of those games already.

Also, Saints Row 3 is $17 this weekend only, and I had a superblast playing it. If you like GTA but thinks it takes itself a bit too seriously, it's for you.

Then you're really missing out, it's one of the best games I've ever played.

Wait, has anyone said The Orange Box?

I mean, five games, people.

(granted, some of them are rather short...)

I guess someone has to mention that the Steam summer/mid-year sale is going on right now.

The two Ys games on Steam are on sale:
* Ys Origin - base price $19.99, current price $11.99
* Ys: the Oath of Felghana - base price $14.99, current price $5.09

As are Carpe Fulgur's offerings:

Starcraft 2 is on sale for $20 at AmaCoN, which is a really great deal considering that Blizzard games rarely lose their value on the shelves. If you've been putting it off (especially with an expansion due in March) it's a good opportunity.

Duke Nukem 3D is free at Good Old Games until tomorrow 2:59 PM GMT (9:59 AM EST). It's DRM-free too.

Yes, that means "if you grab it now you'll have it for free for the rest of time".

So it turns out that GOG.com actually is having their annual end-of-year sale.

This means that most titles are discounted by 50%. Check their catalogue page for a complete list. There are also various promos at any given time, such as these RPGs which are 75% off ($3.74 each) at the moment. And as always, its offerings are all DRM-free (with very few exceptions).

As for myself, I just found out that they have Duke Nukem 1 (3 episodes) and 2 (4 episodes) for $2.99 currently. I played those games years ago, and I love DN1--it's one of the best platformers I've ever played. I first got them on floppies from a friend, and I played the crap out of the shareware first episode (while I had trouble getting the other two to work). Considering how much fun it is, and the fact that I've never actually paid for it and I also really want to play the 2nd and 3rd episodes...yeah, worth it.

(Also, come to think of it, I think each level is basically like a mini-metroidvania. It's non-linearly structured and requires a lot of exploration and backtracking to get keys to keyholes and to use powerups to access new areas.)

I'm also likely getting La-Mulana, which is 50% off at $7.49. As I've mentioned elsewhere, it's an immense game with meticulously-designed details and a very rich soundtrack. Would have bought it at Playism but there isn't a 50% discount there.

Might also get Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, which is going for $8.99 (40%) off. I haven't seen this drop below that price even during the Thanksgiving sale on Steam.

Hahah.. the grammatical howlers in that La Mulana trailer had me chuckling.

I was considering getting LM but after trying it out on my friend's Wii its actually a bit intimidating
Thanks for posting, Glenn.

Edit: Thought you'd like to know that LM is on Steam Greenlight atm and anyone interested in the game should vote for it to be added to the Steam store. Any idea how long the GOG deal will last, Glenn? I want the game but not sure what platform to get it on, or may hold off and see if it appears on steam.

Steam is still PC platform, and if anything GOG's DRM-free version is better since it's not attached to a wrapper. That said, I've voted for La-Mulana on Greenlight already.

The GOG deal will probably last until shortly past the new year.

Oh, sorry, I misread what you meant; I didn't know you were considering getting it on the Wii.

I'm getting it on PC but that's in part because I don't have a Wii.

I don't expect LM to come out on Steam this winter season/end-of-year sales event (since the new release's publicity will be dwarfed by other sales and since new releases usually only get a 10% discount and this wouldn't cut it during the big sale), but still, it could.

Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN?

There's a phenomenal "end of the world" sale going on right now on GOG.com for the next 20 hours. 75% off over 100 games, incl. the entire Ultima and Might & Magic series. There's a bundle w/ Deus Ex 1+2, Thief 1+2+3, and Anachronox for only $13. That's this kind of deal it is.

Sale items are on the GOG front page.

^ Another one of those deals puts La-Mulana, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, and three other games into a bundle for $14.95.

Speaking of La-Mulana, it's likely to be featured in the Groupees Build a Greenlight Bundle, as well. Along with its soundtrack (which GOG lacks, unexpectedly). I might just get both because it's a shut-up-and-take-my-money game and because the soundtrack is among the best game soundtracks I've heard.

@R51: Is that version supposed to work (and not crash) on PCs with Windows 7? Do you know what DRM it has, if any?

Plants vs Zombies is Apple's "App of the Week" so it's free this week on iOS. DEFINITELY worth grabbing, it's a nice timewaster while on the train or... toilet.

This is a great deal if you have any iOS device. I never really played any castle defense games before PvZ, but this one is so good that I've actually purchased it more than once. The sequel is in the works, too, so this is a great time to gear up for it (and is probably part of the reason why it's App of the Week).

Double post! If you're a mobile gamer, you probably use earbuds from time to time. Or, even if you're not and have a MP3 player, or something like that.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...em-_-26-106-589 are my favorite earbuds I've ever used, and they're only $15 today only. You should really get a pair. They're a great brand and while these are their "budget" earbuds, they're fantastic. Durable, good sound, and they fit well due to having three sizes of in-ear cups.

Myself and Mr. Magus Harvey have thrown the term 'Metroidvania' around a bit recently.
Surely Castlevnia: Symphony of the Night needs no introduction, but let's just say it supplies the 'vania' part of that term. It's arguably the most loved title in the series, and I'm posting now to inform any EU gamers who're interested, that its finally on the PSN store for us now. It's not too expensive, either.

Pretty ridiculous deal going on right now on Amazon, with Borderlands 2 on sale for $30. That's 50% off for an amazing game that's only about 6 months old. Definitely worth it!

My favorite indie studio, Zeboyd Games, has all three of their Steam games on sale right now. All three together is just a $1US.

Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 is 80% off

Double-pack of Breath of Death VII: The Beginning and Cthulhu Saves the World is 66% off

Those are three extremely entertaining games that cost a total of $2. Worth every penny. Parody RPGs from a very talented two-man team.

Jumped on this. I own the first two PAA games and haven't played them, and now I have the full (current) set. And haven't played any of them.

This probably counts as a GREAT gaming deal rather than a good one. You can get Bioshock Infinite for $28 at Game Deal Daily. It sends you a Steam key after you get it. I just bought it myself... I don't think we'll see a deal this good even in this summer's Steam sale.

The fine folks of Humble Bundle have a new deal for us in a collaboration with Double Fine. Any amount gets you Psychonauts, Stacking, and Costume Quest. Paying over the average (currently at $7.98) also gets you Brutal Legend. Paying over $35 adds a preorder for the upcoming title The Broken Age (in case you didn't support it on KickStarter). Paying $70 or over gets you all of that plus a Double Fine T-shirt. Hell, Psychonauts alone is worth the eight bucks.

My second-favorite game downloading service, GOG, has a big ol' Ubisoft sale today: mother****ing Black Dragons. 50% off for entire Heroes of Might & Magic series, recent Prince of Persia games (Sands of Time to PoP 2008), Far Cry 1 & 2, RayMan 1 and 2, etc. Most games are $3 or $5 USD.
