Not bad. Picked one up.

[Pharrell1]

Eh?

[fart_bubble]

great deal for a great game (though its pretty hard to find people playing online)

[MusicNoteLess]

It's like Monopoly and Magic. Good game to take a break from all the shooter games.

[UberNinjaz]

Ahhhh, card game >_<

[bardockkun]

THAT IS...

Rather tempting.

[xxtheycallmedxx]

word,despite having a huge backlog,I may pick this up....

[GTZ_NSR]

In for one. Thanks op.

[G33]

Thanks OP, been waiting for a deal on this game.

[eastx]

Nice. Wish I had the time to devote to such a deep game; I'd be all over it.

[slipkornotpsu]

Thanks op, have wanted this for awhile.

[graf1k]

Finally, a DOTD I can use again. Ordered one.

[chrisnsally]

I wasn't (and still aren't) really into the card-battle style games. But I played the heck out of the PS2 version of this. It's not that hard to learn, honestly - and it's really addictive!

[Masterkyo]

Tempting............. I'll buy it If it still $26 by the time i go home today.

[Ruined]

Awesome game that was worth full price, this is a steal!

[PleasantOne]

CRAAAAAP - I just bought this at GS a few weeks ago... too late to take it back.

Finally a good DOTD, and I already have it. That's what I get for not waiting for a deal... my ass wasn't cheap enough :wall:

Definitely try the demo of this if you haven't already. I'm in the same boat as chrisnsally, I've never been able to get into CCGs, but this game is awesome. I think anybody (well, anyone who likes this sort of thing) would definitely get $26 worth of good out of it.

[DJSteel]

damn. what a time to be broke...

[blucadet3]

Awesome game, got it at launch with some best buy rewards and a coupon. Worth full price...

Maybe everyone is playing like me. I'm waiting to get online until I beat the regular game and get all the cards I can...I figured I'd get online and get killed because I did not have the best cards yet.

[shipwreck]

Had $26.05 just sitting in my Amazon account. Must have been fate.

+1 :bomb: i bought it when GS was giving the "free guide", that wasn't actually much a guide at all just a mini one. This just adds to my hate for GS and my love for amazon. O well didnt work out for me this time. it is an awesome game maybe now we can start a cag tourney or something.

[lordwow]

I almost YF360Ged this. Sold.

[mkelehan]

It's much more of a board game with RPG elements than a card game. I really love it, and the price is fantastic. Highly recommended to everyone.

[shrike4242]

Best price I've seen on this that doesn't involve defrauding Google Checkout.

In for 1.

I actually had this pre-ordered (legitimately) via GCO for almost a year at CD Universe... and still ended up paying slightly more than this deal. Great price, great game, highly recommended.

[Suraph]

In for one.

I played the demo quite a bit back when it was first released, but my backlog was too big when the game came out... bless your black and withered heart, backlog.

[MrNEWZ]

In for one as well. Definitely a price drop I've been waiting to see. ;-)

[InuFaye]

I got one.

[Bloodbooger]

In for one, thanks OP. Looks like an interesting game.

[ddrlenz]

In for one...thanks OP!

[BlueWingX]

Woohoo! I've been waiting for a good price on this one. I LOVED the original! I wish I could afford to buy copies for my friends so they could understand the awesomeness... Oh well. Thanks, OP!!!

[Burchamj]

i bought one at launch and the disc cracked... so 2 weeks ago i bought a new one for 40.00....

[jrutz]

Got in on this as well, thanks OP!

[Danimal]

It's much more of a board game with RPG elements than a card game. I really love it, and the price is fantastic. Highly recommended to everyone. Hmmm.... this is VERY tempting. I'm just not sure where I'd fall on the range of people who would be into this game. I like a good board game, I love Magic the Gathering (although I've never been able to get into any other CCGs at all) but I'm really not into RPGs.

I've also got a ridiculous backlog of 360 games I've yet to even start (including several AAA titles that shame me by still being in the shrinkwrap)

Ah, what the hell. For $26, I'll give it a shot. In for one. Thanks OP.

[Jirotrom,]

My favorite 360 game... LOVE IT!

I think there is a demo of this on XBL marketplace. You might want to check it out first as this is a very love it or hate it kinda game.

[Monroeski]

I need to stop coming to this site. You people are costing me way too much money.

[N0M0RES3QUELS]

In for one. Thanks OP! :applause:

[Danimal]

Normally I would do that, but I work nights and I'm going to bed shortly. If this were a price drop and not a DotD, I'd definitely check it out first. If I wait until I get up tonight, chances are the deal will be dead. Eh, if I don't like it, I'll throw it up on Goozex or trade it here.

[Cantaloup]

I'm in. Many thanks OP! I thought the original PS2 game was great. I've been meaning to pick this up, since it seems like the kind of title that will eventually be hard to find.

[blackdog60]

Great price for this very addictive and irritating game. I may have to pick up a 2nd copy at this price.

[typeRJ]

in for one. rented it from gamefly but their Keep It price was a little high. $25.99 is a great price...thanks OP!

[Phokis]

My backlog also stopped me from getting it when it first launched.

Now to research if it has hotseat multiplayer....

[LiK]

tempting but i'm not sure i'm into it. gotta think about it...

edit: okay, got it. people seem to love it and i dont mind these games. i just hope i like it, hehe

[evilmregg]

Ahh drat, and I just bought this one a couple weeks ago for about $4 more. Totally worth it, though; it's a really fun multiplayer game.

[humidore]

Nice shot in the arm for this great game.

[mkelehan]

My backlog also stopped me from getting it when it first launched.

Now to research if it has hotseat multiplayer....

No hotseat. Everyone needs to have their own controller. I disagree with that decision, too... but I've got four, so whatever.

[davyd]

For those worrying about the RPG element...don't, because there basically isn't one. The dialog and story come off as incredibly cheesy.

That being said, I still love this game. Don't buy the game for the "story," the fun is in the battles, which are what this game is 99% about.

[flybrione]

Picked in up with Dream Pinball 3D for Wii

I really wouldn't worry about people crying "RPG" on this one... there is no leveling up (absent leveling up spaces ala hotels in Monopoly), no meaningful equipment (though you can customize your avatar), no real exploration, no world map nor other areas to explore, no puzzles, no shops, etc... There is a fantasy story, but hell, many action games have far more RPGish stories .

At it's core, it really is Monopoly with a trading card game overlayed upon it. You'll progress across increasingly complex boards and face opponents with increasingly refined decks. After each battle, you'll get a 'pack' of cards, with a number dependent upon the difficulty of the board and whether you won or lost. You then have the opportunity to customize your deck, but it's completely like managing a real life TCG/CCG deck and has nothing especially RPGish about it.

It's partily a great game because it's not just a card game transposed into videogame form (such as Eye of Judgment) that could just as easily be played in real life. There are so many little micromanagement details going on (the value of a property flucuates depending upon your possession of other property elements, several cards include random card generation/substitution, status effects can be placed on everything, you can change the underlying color of spaces on the board, and there is even a property stock market introduced several boards into the game) that it would make for a very unwieldy game in real life, yet it flows perfectly in digital form.

[Jirotrom,]

No hotseat. Everyone needs to have their own controller. I disagree with that decision, too... but I've got four, so whatever.
i dont think this is true, i'll check in a sec but im pretty sure you need only one controller for off line multiplayer.

[tokitoki50]

This is a solid price but I feel like it's only going to keep dropping. I think I'm gonna wait. Thanks anyways OP

[argyle]

My favorite 360 game... LOVE IT!

Agree'd. As strange as this may sound to most, this is honestly the only reason I still own my 360. If they ever announce a PS3 port, my 360 is history.

i need to get your gamertag... I plan on heading online sometime this week... my GT is jirotrom

[SpiderLocMTGO]

You don't know how close I was to picking this up yesterday through a Marketplace seller... just saved me some money :)

[zenintrude]

good deal... been interested, so i grabbed it

[Coraanu]

Frack. Had it in my cart and now it's no longer available from Amazon.com. Guess I'll try again later.

[Monroeski]

Price is back up to $39.99. My wallet is happy but my heart is sad that I waited too long.

me 2. I'm at work and my boss needed to talk to me when I was checking out. I had a giftcard and I was about to enter it. Then 10 minutes letter it said it was sold out for that price.


but I still have $26....

plus i have like 7 unopened games from all the recent deals. I'm like good through the summer and when GTA4 comes out all the other games are going on hold.

:lol:

[Monroeski]

Went up to $39.99 shipped from and sold by Target, is now $39.79 shipped from and sold by Hubbagames. From those of you with more Amazon experience than me, any chance that Amazon themselves allocate more stock to the deal later today, or is it pretty much gone now?

From those of you with more Amazon experience than me, any chance that Amazon themselves allocate more stock to the deal later today, or is it pretty much gone now?Some DOTD's will go in and out of stock through the course of the day, while others will be done and gone.

The real sign if it's dead is if there's something else that shows up in place of the current DOTD, which has happened a few times in the past.

Glad I jumped on it when I did and didn't wait.

[judyjudyjudy]

Not sure if I missed this reading through the thread, but how does this game compare to the PS2 Culdcept? I probably should have asked this last night when the deal first came up, but oh well. I'll hope for a restock.

[pookninja]

in for one.thanks op!!

[SubjectNameHere]

dead.. missed it by a minute

[ZerotypeX]

currently selling at $39.79 from Hubbagames...hopefully Amazon gets more stock soon

[Jirotrom,]

My backlog also stopped me from getting it when it first launched.

Now to research if it has hotseat multiplayer....
yes you can... only one controller is needed for 4 players.

[Jirotrom,]

Not sure if I missed this reading through the thread, but how does this game compare to the PS2 Culdcept? I probably should have asked this last night when the deal first came up, but oh well. I'll hope for a restock.
its a lot better, alot more balanced and alot easier. The computer isn't nearly as cheap as the ps2 version. Ive played about 61 matches vs the ai and Ive lost only 2 of those 61.

[sirhansirhan]

This game is great. The AI is ridiculously easy, and the offline multiplayer seems needlessly rococo to get set up, and the story is bad, but the gameplay itself is fantastic. Far and away my favorite 360 game.

[zenintrude]

mark up as dead, or at least dead for now

[LiK]

man, i'm glad i ordered one. i didn't think it would go OOS so soon

[Phokis]

Actually, I was just wondering if it had local multiplayer at all (I have 4 controllers as well). I know some games have hidden hands of cards, so the local multiplayer doesn't work. (Settlers of Catan vs. Carcassone)

[Monroeski]

mark up as dead, or at least dead for now
Deal of the Day link still heads to it, so I'm holding out hope that it will come back in stock later.

[Armenius]

Oh god damn you, I can't afford this and my backlog is already sending death threats.

:wall:

[Monroeski]

Deal of the Day goes to a Medal of Honor game now. I think we can remove the ? from the title.

[Edge]

New DotD is Medal of Honor: Vanguard for the PS2, $12.99 (normal price $19.99)

Reviews for it aren't so hot...

Technically, your hands are hidden (in the sense that you can't browse the hands of your opponents at your leisure), but you're able to catch glimpses of them during their turns... it's a conscious decision on their point, as part of the gameplay is knowing the cards very well and remembering what your opponents have thus far.

[N0M0RES3QUELS]

Whoa already OOS?! Glad I jumped on it.

[whiptcracker]

Damnit, I missed this.

[NolbertoS]

Glad I turned on my comp before heading to work and buying it on the spot. My wallet and Credit Cards are taking a further beating now [face_crying]..but it was worth it.

[Thundercleese]

This game is WELL worth it, even at the non-discount price people. It's incredibly fun and addictive, whether you're a card game fan or not. Tons of bang for the buck too, as you can easily devote 50-100 hours playing through story mode and acquiring all the avatar parts. Then there's the multiplayer, which is where this game truly shines. And personally, I've never had any problems finding matches online.

[buckythekat]

wow this sucks, I was going to order it but had to wait until after classes and its gone already

:-(

[JMEPO]

Is it on the triple?

[buckythekat]

Is it on the triple?


no just the 360, though if you don't care about online play you could just get Culdcept for PS2 and play that on the PS3

[JMEPO]

no just the 360, though if you don't care about online play you could just get Culdcept for PS2 and play that on the PS3

Thanks.

[Spybreak8]

Ah damn it, the only day I don't check cag and they have this game on sale. ><

[Jirotrom,]

no just the 360, though if you don't care about online play you could just get Culdcept for PS2 and play that on the PS3

while t he ps2 version is good the 360 version is a much better game.

[vosos102]

So I picked up 3 copies of this at the $26 price--one for me and two for bday gifts...the estimated ship date isn't until April 14th though. Is that the same for other people? Seems kind of odd as it was listed as in stock...
