    [DEAD] Pre-order Mass Effect 3 , Get BF3 for free on Origin (PC)

    That is a pretty good deal, but I already have BF3 and have preordered a physical copy on ME3, so no go for me. Worth noting: Also, says nothing about the Back to Karkand pack, so if that's important to you, expect to spend another 9.99 on BF3 content.

    Brutal Legend for $7.00 (360) @ Amazon

    Mostly problems issuing commands...the standard KBAM versus controller issue. It's just not an intuitive control scheme at all, and it doesn't help that there's no easy way to bring up the tutorial or a controller map for those sections if you happen to forget how to do something specific. The...

    getgamesgo - Beyond Good and Evil $4

    That's actually a great suggestion. The PC port of this game was pretty awful, all things considered. I never managed to get all the graphics enhancements running without corruption or slowdown, and it refuses to recognize any of my gamepads. It is an awesome game, and worth getting, but get...

    If You Don't Have LOTRO Yet (Possible Deal?) $29.99 Includes All Expansions

    http://www.lotro.com/betasignup/vipchart.html In other words, you get the main game and quest hubs for free, but expansions (Moria, Mirkwood) will have to be bought to access regardless. Buying expansions allows you to use all of the expansion features like expansion classes, tier 6 crafting...

    Lord of the Rings Online goes free-to-play

    This game is one of the few I think that really competes with WoW in terms of the PVE. The quests are in general really well written, and although you will get some "collect X" quests the focus is on fellowship quests and teamwork. This is a good one if you have a tight group of friends that...

    Muramasa $13.06 new + $1 shipping

    I'm not seeing anywhere on Radio Shack's site to ship to a B&M store when I go to checkout...is there a link I'm missing?

    Splinter cell conviction offer @ Amazon

    I think if it was just the DRM, the game might still win me over, but Ubisoft has a really shitty record with PC ports, and Conviction is no exception. No voice chat, or even text chat for the co-op in the game? Seriously?

    GAMESTOP: Save $25 on any new game $29.99 or higher when trading select titles.

    I traded in Darksiders and ended up getting total credit of $50.69, so I ended up paying about $10 for FFXIII. Most of the Gamestops I've been to have been-- if not great, then at least courteous, and they try to help me out with the deals. Of course, I usually go to the ones that have older...

    Just Cause 2 PC $34.99 + FS Newegg.com

    Just in case it hasn't been mentioned before, this game is DX10 only. So If you're running WinXP like I am, don't get stuck out on a limb buying it.

    GOG Weekend Deal - Sanitarium/Longest Journey - 50% off

    I actually felt TLJ had a pretty meh story, all things considered. Good effort to engage the player, and as long as the novelty of the settings didn't wear off, it was fine, but a lot of the story felt forced to me rather than flowing naturally. It just felt awkward that the lead heroine would...

    Mass Effect 2 $48 on Amazon (PMing Walmart) *DEAD*

    It's unfortunate, because you can be level 17 or 18 before you even leave the station, so there's not a lot of chances for combat and learning exactly how all the players work. As far as the first game goes, I'd say it takes a full 10 hours before you start to understand what your playstyle is...

    Newegg < $15 Raiden Fighter Aces (360) $14.99, Bionic Commando (360) $7.99

    I'm still unclear: is the enhanced edition the uncensored edition, or do I need to buy the Euro version for that?

    Steam: Aliens vs Predator Classic 2000 - $4.99! (Update: Multiplayer Added)

    If anybody is into retro gaming like that that's Aliens related, they should also check out the Aliens TC Mod for the original Doom. The creator literally used monster closets so that the aliens appeared to be coming out of the walls at the player. Very atmospheric and great for its time.

    Darksiders - $42.99 @Amazon (360 Version Only)

    Or 23 hours for a thorough playthrough. ;D I'm torn on the game, because although I like the presentation aspects of it, the fact that none of the gameplay mechanics are original does tend to bring it down by the time you get to the end. I mean, they give you a gun just for the sake of having...
