*Yeah, PSPers… you got shafted…

PC
Digital Download

Dungeon Defenders Pre-order – $8.99 (10% off) – N/A
Looks like a nifty little game, should be $9 well spent.

X-COM Complete Pack – $5.08 (66% off)- 5/5
For $5, you’ve really got very little to lose, and a LOT to gain!

Adam’s Venture – $6.99 (30% off)- 3/5
I followed this game’s development closely, it looks to be similar to uncharted. Perhaps worth a look if your name is Adam, you want to go on a Venture, or both!

Aliens vs Predators Classic 2000 – $2.50 (50% off) – 4/5
Second best video game adaptation of a poem by Coleridge I have ever played, right after Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Alter Ego – $11.97 (40% off) – 4/5
Actually looks to be a decent game from what I’ve seen.

Blood Bowl Dark Elves Edition – $9.98 (50% off) – 4/5
Brilliant game. That’s all I need to say.

EVE Online: Incursion – $10.00 (50% off) – 4.5/5
ADAM Offline: Inception was a complete flop, so the developers tried for the opposite, and it seems to have worked!

Evil Genius – $3.98 (60% off) – 5/5
Because Really Nice Idiot wasn’t much of a compelling game.

Legendary – $3.40 (66% off) – 2/5
This game isn’t LEGEN… wait for it….

Sacred 2: Fallen Angel – $9.98 (50% off) – 4/5
Good game, a bit flawed, but definitely worth the $10 you would probably otherwise spend on something useless… like food.

Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People Season 1 – $11.98 (60% off) – 5/5
Don’t even THINK of buying this if you aren’t getting at LEAST a 9.5 on hotornot.com!

Swords and Soldiers HD – $7.99 (20% off) – 3/5
I love the concept, but I’ve played too many free flash games with the same concept… If you’re making it retail, make it better…

Rush – $4.49 (10% off) – 5/5
You know I love puzzlers, and this is one of the best. The puzzles ramp up to insane difficulty, but it isn’t a nuisance as much as a challenge. Buy it.

Blue Toad Murder Files – $17.99 (10% off) – 4.5/5
Similar in style to the Telltale collections, it matches gameplay and witty humour brilliantly!

PC
Retail Boxes

Battlefield Bad Company 2 – $24.99 – 4/5
Buy it.

Battlefield 2: The Complete Collection – $14.00 – 4.5/5
A bit on the expensive side considering it’s age, but it has a very active online world, so well worth a shot if you haven’t tried it already!

Xbox 360

Crackdown 2 – $27.99 – 3.5/5
We love you George. That’s why we’re staging this intervention! Please, for us, put the knife away… and the crack down too. (And worst pun of the year goes to…)

Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 – $14.00 – PI/5
An RTS on a console? Go ahead. Try it. I dare you.

Fairytale Fights – $14.00 – 4/5
Brilliant concept, excellent execution, a must-purchase!

Mirror’s Edge – $8.00 – 5/5
Sorry. I meant Mirror’s Corner.

Civilization Revolution – $11.37 – 3.5/5
I don’t know about this one. I never really enjoyed it…

PS3

3d Dot Heroes – $32.99 – 4/5
When a sword can be this fat, you know something good is going on.

Just Cause 2 – $28.99 – 4/5
Why should you buy this game? Just ‘Cause…

…2

Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues – $24.99 – 2.5/5
The adventure didn’t continue for me. More of the same, really. If you have a kid, maybe it’s worth a look.

Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights – $14.00 – 3/5
If you’re looking for the quintessential illegal juice-making industry game, then this is it! You have to deal with illegal imports of various fruits whilst avoiding law-enforcement interaction. Truly a thrilling and thought-provocative game.

Wii

MySims Kingdom – $14.00 – 3/5
It’s a fun little game, also exacerbated by the fact that it’s on Wii, which is generally just awesome.

PSP

Have I got any deals for the PSPer’s?

DS

Beat City – $12.00 – 4/5
Do it. Just do it.

Super Scribblenauts – $47.00 – 4.5/5
Like Scribblenauts, only Superer!

Indies

Parrot AR Drone pre-order – $399.00 – 10/5 (any iDevice)

Cheap – No.

Game – No.

Useful – No.

Awesome – Yes. Very Yes.

Mods

Europe 1200 – Mount & Blade: Warband – 4/5

…DARRYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Have any money left? Disappointing. Start again from the top, you obviously weren’t reading the list properly. Otherwise, did I leave a deal out? If so, comment below or on facebook, and tell us where!
