Today's deal is Gish, a fun old indie platformer for £1.49/$2.49.

On the off chance you don't already own it from a bundle somewhere, you really should pick this one up.

Or ask me. I still have a spare Key for the game.

Me too. I have two extra keys.

Thanks for that.

Today's Daily Deal is Dead Horde. If you remember Zombies Ate My Neighbours, it's basically that without the kid-friendly filter. £1.99 / $2.49 for one copy, or £2.99 / $3.74 for 2 so you can gift one to a friend.

Also, the Midweek Madness is 66% off most Sims 3 stuff, including the core game itself, which is 10.19, whatever your currency, which explains why I'm not buying it. Stupid non-converted prices, grumble grumble.

der_ketzer · 03/06/2012, 09:27 am

it's 15,29€ in Germany. That's even more of a rip-off. stop complaining.

*Darth Marsden* · 03/06/2012, 10:19 am

Still bugs me when they can't be bothered to properly convert the price, but yes, I concede that once again Europe gets screwed over worst when it comes to Steam pricing.

Double Fine's Stacking is now available on Steam, and it's 33%-off until March 13th, $9.99
A bundle w/ Psychonauts and Costume Quest is $19.99
Psychonauts $4.99 / 50%-off
Costume Quest $7.49 / 50%-off

GaryCXJk · 03/06/2012, 04:37 pm

Okay, so, The Sims 3 EPs. Yay. Now I have to choose between Night Life and World Adventures. Because I'm broke.

Added UK prices. Thanks for mentioning it, I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

And in the wonderful Steam universe a $ still is a € but nevertheless if you today buy a copy of Psychonauts who gets the money after Steam got its share?

Double Fine acquired the rights to Psychonauts last summer, before it first came out on Steam. I don't think Majesco has any claim on money from Psychonauts sales now, except maybe from physical media.

taumel · 03/06/2012, 10:16 pm

Why can't i then buy a copy of Psychonauts for OS X/Win for instance on the Double Fine store or on a site like GOG?

Johro · 03/06/2012, 10:22 pm

Because they chose to put it on Steam?

The fact remains:
"Psychonauts is ™ and © 2011, Double Fine Productions, Inc."

taumel · 03/06/2012, 10:32 pm

So they sell hardcopies of the game for every other system on the DF store except PC/Mac. This doesn't make sense to me. I guess they buy the console versions on their own, sign them and resell them. Why does this exclude PC/Mac? GOG only hosts the PC version, i don't know if GOG is primary about PC only. Anyway i would like to buy a few copies as presents but i also want DF to get most of the money and i generally feel ripped off by Steam's conversion rate.

GaryCXJk · 03/06/2012, 11:18 pm

Sooooo, can anyone suggest which of the two EPs I should take? I'm talking about either Late Night or World Adventures. Pets is out of the question, as I don't give a damn about pets, and I actually wanted the Katy Perry Collector's Edition of Showtime, but that's not going to happen because I don't have the money for that one.

You're right. According to Wikipedia it was first released on Steam October 11th, 2006.

Depends which you're more interested in: travelling to new locations and going on quests, or becoming a celebrity, partying all night and becoming a vampire.

From what I can tell they're both fairly good and what they do, it's just a matter of personal preference as to which one you want. I've only ever played the core Sims 3 game, so the expansions do nothing for me.

*Darth Marsden* · 03/07/2012, 09:13 am

Ah, new page. Lovely.

Today's Daily Deal is Blade Kitten. £3.49 / $4.99.
