There's a 99.99999% chance that it won't be in the editor's choice list. So there's still a chance.

Far be it from me to discourage someone from buying or playing a game, but all these folks wanting to get Mafia 1... it hasn't aged well.

People looking for at least decent, respectable games for cheap EC coupons, I found this:

Garshasp: The Monster Slayer - $1.24
Garshasp: Temple of the Dragon - $1.24

Both activate on Steam.

Couldn't help but notice this in the Metacritic review though:

The only real difficulty comes from fighting the god awful camera angles. Instead of allowing for a rotating, free moving camera like a modern game, the developers decided on using fixed cameras for each zone that automatically go from one angle to another. This wouldn’t be so bad if the switches weren’t so poorly timed. In one sequence, for example, I was expected to do a platforming sequence with the camera facing my character and with no view of any of the platforms. Combining the shoddy camera with the strange layout of the game, I found myself getting lost with no visual cues to set me back on the right track. I was stuck at a dead end for 30 minutes with no clue on how to advance the story.

Happy New Year to all the Caggers!!

Special one to you Santa Tony!!!!

If you like RPGs and want to lose yourself is a fictional world -- Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout NV
If you want company -- MMOs (Tony is running a sale on TSW in January, plus there is FTP TOR to hold you over)
If you want to vent frustration -- Saints Row 3, GTA IV, CoD

Also, gotta add, right before New Year's ing Eve? Sorry you are better off without her/him. What a bitch.

The main attraction for me is that I have a copy of Mafia 1 sitting in my inventory on Steam. Now that it's been removed from the store, it's value has risen. People do crazy things for games that aren't available in the store anymore.

But I wouldn't want to trade away my only copy, so I'm thinking about using my 2K coupon on Mafia 1 and using my inventory copy to fleece some poor desperate sap on the trading forums.

Word.

+1

Just hoping that price will stay the same or drop, the current price up there is still alot better than EA's sale price

Anyone fathom a guess if the service will stay at 25$ through tomorrow?

Shady Persian games with bad covers, nice.

I will tell you that those who missed out on the 2K packs should be good to go as it looks like we'll be adding those for the effective prices as right now. So the only one that should go up in SRP is the Bioshock Pack, to $9.99, which will make it $4.99. The other packs will all be their current SRP + the $5 off anyone with an EC coupon. There is a very slight possibility that XCOM, Borderlands 2, and NBA 2K13 will get promotions (they are already on the list). We're still thinking about it though.

@TONY / T-Money

Don't know if you can or will answer these questions, but what the heck!

Any idea when will see what the list of what's getting extra special slashed-prices during the EC 2012 list?

During EC 2012 promo, do you think NBA2K13 will be anywhere in the league of the current final day deal for $5 off 2K games that you have for NBA2K12 with...
NBA2K12 = $9.99 without coupon / $4.99 with the 2K coupon??

Far be it from me to encourage anyone from buying or playing a game, but Mafia 1 is one of my all-time favorite games - great story and characters, amazing atmosphere and soundtrack, decent mission structure and good shootouts (once you got the hang of it), and so on. The graphics aren't great by today's standards but are still pretty good (except for the frigging draw distance). I got it in a Steam sale for $2.50 (back when Steam used to have actual sales) and played through it only a couple of years ago.

Now if only Mafia II would drop below $5...

did Tony mention anything regarding Hitman Absolution being added to the EC list

also accoring to this were are getting a few more games added tomorrow (shoot many robots 4-pack $7.50)

Rocksmith - $14.99

That reminds me that I have a copy of Everyday Genius: Square Logic just sitting in my inventory.
