I'm tempted to go for that Tomb Raider package actually.

Then it sounds like you came out on top all the way around.

That's what he/she said. (Sorry couldn't resist. )

I managed to get The Baconing + DLC.
Not in a rush to get the DLC for Red Faction: Armageddon, as I haven't played a singe one of the games yet. Well the same goes for Deathspank, but the 50% of was too tempting to resist.

GOG has an excellent Atari sale going on, with a flat 50% discount on games like The Witcher, Alone in the Dark, Outcast, and Blood going for half their asking price. Most on sale are $2.99, with the exceptions being Master of Orion 3, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, and The Witcher, which are $4.99 each.

[Darth Marsden]

Today's Daily Deal is the Max Payne bundle, which you really should own by this point - it's been on offer enough times. Anyway, it's £1.49 / $2.49 each, or £2.49 / $3.74 for the two.

The weekend THQ Temptation is the entire Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series. Lot to get through here, so bear with me!

First of all, Dawn of War II: Retribution is free to play all weekend. Which is nice. As for the sellables...

Dawn of War: Gold - £4.99 / $10
Dawn of War: Dark Crusade - £4.99 / $10
Dawn of War: Soulstorm - £4.99 / $10
Dawn of War II - £10 / $10
Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising - £10 / $10
Dawn of War II: Retribution - £14.99 / $14.99
Dawn of War II: Trilogy - £25 / $30

...and some DLC for Retribution...

Retribution Complete Race Pack - £1.75 / $2.50 (note that this is labelled as the 'All Wargear DLC' pack, despite actually being the 6 different race packs)
Retribution Wargear Bundle - £4 / $5.99

...and I am not finding out the Euro prices for all those!

Oh dear. I now have 200 GOG titles now.... XD

In other vaguely related news, Costume Quest has spontaneously materialized on Steam, with achievements, cloud save and Grubbins on Ice included. Hopefully this means Stacking isn't very far off.

[Darth Marsden]

Ah yes. Only problem is, it's £11.99 / $14.99, which is a bit of a nuisance if you have Playstation Plus, where it's currently free. Still, nice to have it on the PC.

[Darth Marsden]

Today's Daily Deal is The Last Remnant, an RPG by Sqeenix (also known as Square-Enix by people who have no sense of humour). £5 / $10, which is a wee bit skewed conversion-wise, but it's not a very good game, so I doubt anyone really cares.

[Scnew]

Regarding the GOG sale, please throw all the money you can throw at the Star Control games, as the original creators have said they'd love to make another one and thus I want Atari to want to let them.

[Darth Marsden]

Today's Daily Deal is Kaptain Brawe, a wonderful little adventure game that I highly recommend, especially given that it's only £3.75 / $5.

Thanks for that. I bought it.

Thanks. After having played the demo I thought it was a decent enough game, but not worth getting at full-price for Windows. For €5 it seemed like a good buy.

I looked for it on desura.com quite recently, but it seems they haven't gotten around to making the half-promised Linux version yet. Which is a shame really, since I'm usually willing to pay a lot more for games with native Linux support.

I actually rather liked it, and thought it was a steal for £5.

[Darth Marsden]

Fair enough. To each their own.

Today's Daily Deal is EVE Online: Incarna. £3.75 / $5. Bear in mind this price does not include future monthly payments you'll need to make, seeing as it's a Mumorpeger and hasn't gone free-to-play because it's actually making a profit, unlike most other ones.

But apparently you can buy game-time with the in-game currency you get from playing the game.
The game looks interesting actually, dunno, might be worth a look.

Ah, but do you get any game-time in the first place?

Yeah you get 30 days when you buy the game

[Rawr]

Its something that I remember buying EVE on one of the previous steam sales, and I still haven't activated my 30 days free. The trial sort of put me off it I think.

[Darth Marsden]

This week's Midweek Madness is Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which is 25% off at £22.49 / $37.49. The Augmented edition is also reduced at £33.74 / $44.99, but the DLC is not on offer.
