yeah
$14.99 would be pretty sweet

Tony has already said that Hitman is highly doubtful to get on the EC list.

Aren't those games just knock-offs of Limbo of the Lost? The artwork sure looks similar to Limbo, weird...

The single Amazon user review:

also come with 5 free dlc and an expansion pack the game is very good and activate on steam,but no steam achievements

Metascore: 69/100 Critics, 7.5 Users

Can't go too wrong with $2.99? Plus, you get yet another $5 credit for the EC list starting next week!

I bought!

Epic ending!?

EPIC *GAME*!

Look at it, then look at other games. Amazing how other games have mimicked it?

I'm curious as well.

I don't know if anyone here is interested in point-and-click adventures, but just in case, here are some of the more interesting-looking ones I've found on sale for peanuts right now. I haven't played any of these so I make no claims as to their quality. Tony, if you could tell us when this sale is supposed to end and if these have any DRM that would be awesome.

Black Mirror II $1.99
Black Mirror III $1.99
Gray Matter $4.99
Alter Ego $1.99
Mystery Adventure Bundle (the above 4 games) $9.99
The Whispered World $1.99
Dark Fall: The Journal $1.99
Dark Fall: Lights Out $1.99
Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder $2.50
Mata Hari $1.99
Cursed Mountain $4.99
Sinking Island $1.99
Nibiru: Age of Secrets $1.99
Aura $1.99
Aura 2: The Sacred Rings $1.99
The Whispered World $1.99
Sentinel: Descendants in Time $1.99
Postmortem $1.99
Syberia II $1.99

Plus a ton more $1.99 games if you look at the related links for any of these, although it looks like most of them are hidden-object. I tried to pick out most of the "real" adventures I saw.

I've never heard of Limbo of the Lost, but based on the Google results about it, if anything it's probably the other way around.

That's the joke.

Has Amazon ever thought of getting more indie titles? Small titles such as FTL, Limbo, Atom Zombie Smasher, Awesomenauts or maybe some collaboration with the various indie bundles. These sort indie titles are pretty much the only games that interest me on Steam and the only purchases I've done through their storefront through the past year.

I don't know if it's possible simply because they're smaller software developers and I'm not too keen as to how you interact with the developers/publishers.

I'm gonna wait another hour, if there's nothing better on gmg I'm gonna buy this too.

Same, the only thing I want is Darkness 2. If anyone wants Duke Nukem Forever and Borderlands lets make a deal.

I never knew that cursed mountain was on the pc. I heard it was a decent game.

If the coupons still available, I could use the Darkness 2/Borderlands pack. Let me know. Thanks in advance.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this previously, but the Hitman Triple Threat Pack seems like kind of a false deal. Before today, the bundle was $29.97, but each game individually was $2.99, which adds up to $8.97 if you wanted to buy all these games. Now the bundle is $8.99, but each game individually is listed as $9.99. I don't know if this was some kind of mistake and I wish I had capitalized on it if it was. Maybe after today it'll go back to the previous price?

It is a decent game, and actually probably better on the PC, the Wii controls were unresponsive and clunky a lot of the time.

Just to make 100% sure, the Desert to the Sea Bundle all activate on Steam, right?
