Sales! Save $$$ while you sit on your butt!
 

A thread for recommendations, choice sales updates and occasional Valve-gasming.

Today: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GOTY Edition (contains Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine expansions) for £3.74.

Oh yeah, I'll be bolding title and price for people who just want the info now.

Finally a thread like this!

I'm a bit tempted to get Oblivion again just because it's that cheap, but I think I'm going to get the 5th anniversary version for Xbox just because my PC really doesn't even run Oblivion that well...

I'm really tempted to get this, seeing as a new Windows computer for Christmas has been hinted at. I've been meaning to play it for ages. I want to go through it before Skyrim, though, otherwise I think I'll feel disappointed by it.

I just bought Oblivion.

This thread is going to be the death of my bank account.

fuck yooooooouuuuuu

I'm slightly concerned for your finances if £3.49 will be the death of your bank account.

Have you ever ran through Blackwood on a rainy day? No?

You've never experienced Oblivion.

I'm still waiting on Ridg3 to be done with Skyrim, but at least he has given me much to keep me occupied.

Wow that's cheap. I'm so tempted to buy it for my PC purely because of mods. (I already have it on Xbox)

“Death from a thousand cuts” is what I had in mind.

I'm in the same boat as Oddhunter - I'ma lose so much money 'cause of this thread! Damn you! :P

But thanks too, I'll be on the lookout for games that I always wanted to try but never could stump up the cash at the time to buy them.

This might come in handy.

I bought Dungeon Defenders a couple of days ago. I've lost count how many games I've bought in sales.

Left 4 Dead 2, also for £3.74.

I won't be advertising every game, of course. Just really good ones at really low prices.

Oooh Killing Floor is on sale. Anyone who doesn't own this game, get it now. Its amazing.

Left 4 Dead 2 is certainly one I'd recommend for the few who haven't played the L4D games.

I took ages to get past the roller-coaster level in L4D2. It can be a frustrating game at times.

It can be frusrating. Especally when you can't move anywhere because about 34785346 zombies surround you.

I've always liked Left 4 Dead 1 more then 2, I'm not completely sure why since L4D2 improves on the original by miles.

First Glimpse Syndrome? Do you like it more beacause you associate it with your introduction into this chilling new world?

That's why a lot of people prefer AO over AE.

Agreed with that, AO has more... I dunno, "Magic" somehow even though AE is much better as a game.

[IMG]GOG.com[/IMG] is having a massive Christmastime sale. Check it out, some really good stuff for dirt cheap, including Psychonauts for $5.

Best Buy has Saints Row 3 for $30 on all platforms, pretty sure Amurikka only though.

They would do this two days after I buy it at full price.

Humble Bundle 4!

Has Shank, SUPER MEAT BOY and more! GO GET IT, NOW!

There was no Desura key this time. (Sorry STM!)

I knew SMB would be in this one now that the Mac version is out.

I set aside money to buy this a fucking week ago.

LIMBO is -75% off now.

Get it if you haven't already.

^ That. £1.75. Link.

Steam is so annoying at the moment, the pages keep giving me errors when I want to look at deals. Rrrr.

Highlights:

£14.49 for a bunch of very good indie games plus some filler.

£24.99 for all Valve games.

Portal and Portal 2 for £1.74 and £4.99 respectively, plus another £1 off if you buy them both.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent for £3.24.

£39.99 for all of the best Bethesda games - Fallout, Morrowind, Oblivion, Call of Cthulhu etc. Saves £118.34!

Binding of Isaac is $2.49 USD. Everyone must go and buy this right now.

I'm disappointed in MM for not posting this.

I've got a 50% off coupon for any Valve game, valid until March 1st. I already own pretty much every Valve game though and I doubt Half-Life 3 is coming before March, so I'd be willing to trade it or sell it or whatever.

Also got a 50% off on the game Cogs, still deciding to use it or not.

I bought the Half-Life Complete Collection because it's on offer. FINALLY!

Installing Psychonauts now, there's an achievement for the Great Gift Pile
No idea how to do it.

Also there is a really easy Spiral Knights achievement in the PvP area. Everyone should get it :)

Should I get Dungeons of Dredmor? It's cheap as hell and looks quite promising. Has anyone tried it?

All I know is that it has Veganism as a character trait.

Cue Max saying "Sold."

So far I don't own any of those games and I'm not planning on getting them just for the achievements.

My guess is thats not near the start of the game.

Pyrokinesis is second power unlock I think. If you spend some time hunting for secrets, you should get it by the time you complete the first level.

Audiosurf, possibly my favourite indie game ever, £1.49. Worth hours upon hours of playtime.

Frozen Synapse, £2.24.
