Gaming Bargains (not Freebies)

Lemlin · 2006-02-06 11:11:59

Was wondering if we could get a sticky going about games bargains that we've spotted? I'm going to pm Monument about it. It could be useful, especially for offers like the Xtravision one and the Xbox 360 trade-in offer that Game have at the minute. People could also give examples of gaming bargains they've seen. For…

Old games are still buggy as f*ck though looking back.

I never finished Deus Ex. Got about half way through it, then got to a spot where I would repeatedly die. It was a chokepoint so I couldn't go around, yet there was never an enemy in sight. Convinced it was a dodgy save with an enemy spawned inside a model or something.

Although, now that I think about it that type of crap has been happening me lately in a lot of newer games too. Can't count how many times I fell through the floor in Mass Effect, or spawned outside the camp in DA:O.

Jesus you're unlucky. Played through Deus Ex about 10 times, ME about 3 times and Dragon Age the once without so much as a hiccup.

Sniper Elite is €2 on Steam until the end of March. It's a fantastic little game that, even though it's a WW2 thrid person action game, almost plays out as a puzzle/strategy game with you trying to snipe people without alerting anyone else. It's great fun.

+1 on that. It's a classic, and for 2 euro, you can't really go wrong.

Metroid Prime Trilogy for £16.99 on Amazon

You'll need to add another item to avail of free delivery, and they're currently out of stock, but this is by far the best price I've seen for it so far!
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002ATY7JE/soundsvault-21

The price will show as £43, but if you look just under that it says 7 new. Click that then choose the top option

Catan for £1.99 for the Xbox 360.

This is a pretty faithful recreation of the Settlers of Catan board game and it's only £1.99 - you can't really go wrong. Codes get emailed in the form of a JPG picture attachment.

I've bought some for myself and some friends just now - there's no local mulitplayer, but there is Live multiplayer.

Have at you.

Even better is the same crowd have Pac-Man Championship Edition for the same price. That's an insane bargain for a great, great game.

yeah right which means "we have filled our empty trade in shelf and emptied our pallets of alleged top games so win ****ing win for us"

The top games from the pallet will be back in the trade in shelf within a month and the circle continues, they knew full what they were doing good business for them a large FU to EA and their 15 euro plan.
