PS: If you live in a country where GTA IV is somehow restricted, you can pick up a 1600 Microsoft Points card code from retilers like 4saleusa.com and maximuscards.com to buy it from a US Gamertag without any problems.

*The GTA LaD sale seems to be a permanent price drop, it is also the same price on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
**The LIVE-enabled version of Osmos is exclusive to the Games for Windows Marketplace. If you buy the game elsewhere it won't have access to LIVE (And as such, won't feature achievements and Gamerscore).

I got it last year when it was a Deal of the Week for that same price. Really liked it, the only thing keeping me from playing more has been the sheer amount of games in my backlog, and that I don't wanna play much on my PC until I get my new Graphics Card.
 
Updated the thread with the "Best of 2010" deals, the new SPC price drop, and the Deal of the Week.

PS: Whoever gave the thread 1 star, I'll be waiting for suggestions to make it better, since there's something you clearly didn't like about it.
 
[quote name='Commander0Zero']Does anybody play Blacklight Tango down? It actually reviewed pretty well from what I see. any CAGS got intel on this title?[/QUOTE]

Spawm camp crazy game from what I've heard. There is a demo on Xbox live if you have one. It's how I tested it out before thinking about buying it.

Needless to say, I didn't get it.

I didn't rate the thread itself It looks to be done well. I think whoever left 1 star probably didn't link any of the deals. As for me thread looks good. Still thinking about Blacklight.
 
[quote name='lordopus99']How's Where's Waldo? I remember the books as a kid[/QUOTE]

Is very good and varied enough. Excellent for gaming on the go given how low the requirements are, an excellent time waster in my humble opinion.

At $3.75 is a steal, it has 200 G to collect.
 
just so everyone knows, the "Best of 2010" deal start and end dates are:

Promotion available from 9:00 AM (PST), 1/6/2011 – 8:30 AM (PST), 1/13/2011
 
I like the Where's Waldo game. It starts out easy but gets tough as you have to find stuff quickly to get all the stars for each stage (needed for an Achievement). The art is charming and the voice acting is good too. It's also an excellent game for kids, but anybody who remembers the books fondly or likes hidden object games should give it a shot.
 
[quote name='Zin_LG']Alpha Protocol is $7 with free shipping on Newegg for anyone who wants the game.[/QUOTE]
awesome, thanks for that heads up
