Impulse has a few games on sale this weekend.

The most notable of which is Red Faction: Guerrilla for $19.99. But keep in mind that the 20% off code SURVEY-2009 still works (until Nov. 1st) so that drops the price to $15.99.

EDIT - Bah...can't spell Guerrilla.

Great deal on a great game, bummer I already have it for the 360.

Will be picking this one up, I would like to wait for $10 though, which it probably will be by BF. I really want to give this a try prior to that. Can anyone comment how this works with the 360 gamepad on the PC.

Red Faction: G is also $20 at gamersgate since they are running a 50% off thq sale if anyone prefers their DD service.

Darn. Wish I could get it for that price for 360!

Definitely a great game at a great price - got this on release on Steam for $39 and still loving it. GTA on Mars!

CoD4 is also $29 plus another 20% off with the coupon.

How is their copy protection by the way...Can you install on as many PCs as you want?

Digital download though ... I want my hard copy :(

I've been waiting for a good sale on this game. I need to feed my FPS craving! Almost done with Riddick: Escape from Dark Athena, so this will do nicely. Thanks OP!

Fake edit: Double thanks for reminding me of the survey code. I wrote that on a piece of paper and promptly lost it a few weeks ago.

I tried it with my 360 gamepad and it seemed fine - though the patch that is currently awaiting MS approval is supposed to make gamepad play even smoother.

Too bad I bought it last Friday from Steam for $30...

It looks like RFG uses their GOO (Game Object Obfuscation) DRM. Once you activate the game to your email/account you can put it on any computer. I've also read that you can deactivate the game and sell it but I don't have any experience with that. Also, with Impulse you don't need to launch the client to run the game. I'm a big fan of impulse, but their catalog is tiny compared to Steam and it doesn't have any community features (friends, messaging, etc.).

GOO Article.



I'm tempted to pick this up even though I played the 360 version just so I can play it without screen tearing.

RF:G is a Games for Windows Live game right? How does that work together with either of the downloading services?

Do we launch the game in the regular manner but need GFWL for multiplayer?

When you buy the game you should be provided with a key for GFWL activation. Yes, you do need to create a GFWL account if you don't already have one.

Watch out with multiplayer though! It can take forever to get a match due to technical issues with the game - the impending patch will hopefully resolve this.

RF:G PC is $9.98 at Target if you can find it on clearance.

Just FYI for those that don't like digital downloads.

This is GFW:L? That means achievements...hmm..ok, now I'm listening Impulse.

Not a bad deal at all, but I'm not huge into the DD games, plus it being for the PC isn't as solid as a console verison.

Keep in mind too that the PC version includes almost all the DLC so far from the console version. So you get Demons of the Badlands, some wrecking crew maps and i think a few exclusive maps. Don't remember exactly.

But good deal! I was waiting for something like this. Even though I've already rented and beaten it on console, I think it'd be a lot of fun on PC.

it'd be awesome if Steam would put COD4 on sale

pretty damn tempting to just get it on Impulse though especially with the 20% off code

If anyone finds it at Target, hit me up, I wouldn't mind getting a copy instead of DD.

Ha, had to go into town and stopped by my local target. And what do I find? But a copy of Red Faction: Guerrilla PC for $9.98. As much as I like having my copies digitally. I couldn't pass that up. Sorry xycury, but I'm keeping it :p
