My best deal this year on Amazon...

I was going to say Raving Rabbids because I got it for $0.00 thanks to a promotional credit but I haven't played it very much. Maybe I go with Crysis 2 for $5.29... though perhaps that doesn't count since it utilizes the $5 promo from 2011.

So, I guess Supreme Commander Forged Alliance for $3.75, which activated on Steam as SupCom Gold.

Thanks! Bowing out on this one since I don't have SR3 (or plan to get it anytime soon) but look forward to seeing what else might come up down the line. Good luck to everyone that enters!

My best pickup was this girl in 1992 who....oh, we're talking games here? My bad! Never mind!

I don't have SR2 and still haven't touched the SR2 CE that I bought THREE YEARS AGO, so I'm not in it for a code now, but props to Tony for being da mensch!

I bought Sniper Elite v2 for $15 and Bulletstorm for $5. Thanks for the post!

Tony,

I think my best pick up this year,2012, so far has got to be The Darkness II when you dropped that bad boy to $12.50, I just recently played through it and it rocked it was well worth the money and you brought an epic deal on it just 2 months after release. Other than that Borderlands GOTY has to be my other best pick up for a mere $7.50 this month, so much content, so much game, all for cheap. Thanks again Tony and keep up the hard work.

Bought BD two nights back and while it has some annoyances (hello locked in camera during cutscenes!) I am enjoying the combat immensely. When I think back to that terrible time I had with Terminator Salvation I could only wish that they had made the game like Sega did with BD. Taking apart the bots never gets old and the big bots are fun. Just finished the spider fight last night and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Now, if they could make a darker sequel that dives into the Hollow Child element more, I would be a happy camper. (That or make a new Blade Runner).

No code btw. I had my time with SR3 on the 360 and got pretty much all of the time I'll spend with it there. Props to you Tony for the giveaway.

My best pickup has to be Crusader Kings II in the Plentiful+Pint packs. 80 hours alone in that game so far and I haven't even touched the rest yet! Thanks Tony!

Dang you are fast! Thanks for the code, Tony!

Thanks so much for the code Tony. I appreciate it a bunch and the deals too .

Ditto.

I like the random PM/contest idea. Thoughts on contests? Cheers, Tony

I don't think this would be a problem. Someone can't just grab a bunch of keys, they have to activate hem on an account. Unless people are selling their steam accounts, I don't think people selling them is an issue.

To stay in the mood, my best pickup was the THQ Action Pack.

Oooh, I'mma turn this one into a MysterD Amazon DVG Awards Show...

Best Overall Pick-up from Amazon DVG -- Binary Domain for $10.
My Sleeper Hit of 2012, so far.

Best Hybrid DLC (Shooter/RPG) from Amazon DVG -- Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Missing Link DLC for $3.75.
One of the best DLC's ever.

Best RPG DLC from Amazon DVG -- Kingdoms of Amalur: The Legend of Dead Kel DLC.
This DLC's better than most of Reckoning base game.

Best price on a COD game from Amazon DVG -- COD: Modern Warfare 2 = $5.
Seriously, when was MW2 ever that cheap before?

Best price on a Amazon DVG Game that I have not downloaded yet -- Total War: Shogun 2 for $2.49
That $5 coupon for BSO 2011 in Jan 2012 rocked!
I need to download this 20+ GB monster, when I'm doing something else...like watching a movie or something.

Cheapest purchase on Amazon DVG Game -- Velvet Assassin - $1.24
Yeah, cheap...and ain't even played the game yet. I did install it and made sure it ran and booted-up...and that was about it.

Best Pick-up from Amazon in a Retail Box Shipped to Me -- Mass Effect 3 PC for $30.
Seriously, that's the best game of 2012, so far, for me...SO FAR.

I'm enjoying Darksiders from the THQ Bundle currently.

Thanks Tony.

My best pickup was definitely preordering Borderlands 2 from Amazon. Gotta get you that tattoo!

Ffff when was that? Again Tony, again!

Oh right, wanted to talk about preordering Borderlands 2. I want to, especially for the preorder goodies (and of course your beautiful tattoo to come), but it's been cheaper elsewhere. Is that price going to stick? And also, I'd much rather have a physical copy for this game, but I wanted to ask if (since it is a Steamworks title) it can play on your PC without the disc needing to be in?

Best pick up by far is Binary Domain. I finished it up the other day and boy, was I surprised how much I liked it. Now, I just picked up Sniper Elite for more action game goodness.

I have Saints Row 3 sitting on the back burner till I get a wired 360 controller. I just can't seem to get used to the game with mouse and keyboard.

Best pickups? EASILY Sonic Generations.

Second place is Darkness 2 for half off on release. Spec Ops would've been on that list had I not preordered for $6 more at GMG.

Third place is Far Cry 2 DRM free. I may never play it more than three hours more until the day I die but to have it DRM free when it is DRMed up everywhere else is great.

Fourth place is all the Deus Ex and Payday I bought for friends.

Honorable mention is Witcher 2 for $20. CDPR pulled the greatest trick I've seen in a while adding so little to the game but enough to keep it hiked up at $50 MSRP.

My best pickup of this year from Amazon would have to be the Dragon Age Pack for 6.99 after I applied my coupon from the holiday promotion. Now I just need to find the time to finish them since they aren't games you can finish in a weekend.

Football Manager for that price is a no-brainer. Thank you Tony for that, I remember posting about my wish and you replied saying there may be something happening... and 2 weeks later you posted the huge deal!

Then I was back in my old ways of being tormented by lack of updates and player contract issues, hehe. Classic FM .

Submitting the story "tip" to Kotaku/Joystiq/IGN now. We'll see if we can get it in front of at least 40,000 eyes. I'll get my pre-order in.

I wasn't even going to pick up the PC version.

Best pickup for me by far is th Paradox Packs but I'm loving Binary Domain as well. Also Darkness 2 and all the $5 coupon sales from January were awesome.
