It’s a pretty bad week for fans of CheapSkate, but particularly so if you’re not a PC gamer.
PC Direct Download
Aliens vs. Predator – $13.58
Solid game, however the controls make it feel a little Alien at time.
Railworks DLC Complete Pack – $199.99
Not cheap, but for all you Railworks enthusiasts, you’re saving $873.36.
The King’s Crusade – $9.00
At a guess, it’s a total war style game, but I honestly have no idea.
Overgrowth Alpha – $29.95
Not a special, not a bargain, but totally worth it, this game is awesome (phh, cheapskate…)
Batman AA GOTY – $7.50
Only a fool would miss out on this, or I guess if the pc was the Bane of your existence.
Portal 2 preorder – $44.99
Preorder for a package whose perfunctory performance should pertain to portals. (I wish I was smart)
Squeenix complete pack – $74.99
Contains Games from the “western” owned subsidiaries, contains Tomb Raider, Hitman, Just Cause and a whole lot else, for that price, if you want months of gaming, a very good deal.
PC Box
Dark Void – $6.21
Some people chose to aVoid this, but they missed out on fun jetpacks marred by silly restrictions.
Sins of a Solar Empire – $9.99
Not buying this is a sin. OK, so, exceedingly harsh and in-depth strategy game, makes Supreme Commander look small.
Rome Total War: Gold – $11.89
You’d have to be a barbarian to pass up on this offer.
Tom Clancy’s End War – $13.00
Aiming to be the be all end all for war games, this simply turned into an average game with a famous name.
Plants vs. Zombies – $13.00
For all the commercialist Zombies, who feel the need to buy things in Brick and Mortar stores.
Stranglehold – $8.00
Leap through the air, shoot your akimbo pistols, go into slow motion. Rinse and Repeat.
Xbox 360
Prince of Persia – $19.00
Unsuccessful reboot of the series, quite a solid game, but not really princely.
Red Faction Guerrilla – $14.00
Run around on the Red planet as part of a Faction wearing Gorilla suits. Or something.
Brutal Legend – $20.00
This Legend lacks the brutality it really needs as part of a heavy metal epic, but it does feature the best scream of “decapitation” of all time.
Playstation 3
Rise of the Argonauts – $14.99
This game didn’t really Rise to its namesake, but was fairly solid, all things considered (best to avoid the pc port).
Ratchet and Clank Quest for Booty – $17.99
Downloadable game from the PSN, well worth it for fans of the series who avoid the PSN like the plague.
Lost Planet Extreme Conditions – $19.49
Shorter than the Colonies edition, released vaguely more recently, however, if you’re the type who avoids multiplayer, then this version is well worth it.
PSP
Patapon – $11.99
You control your army via drums of rhythmic stuff. Well recommended.
Wipeout Pure – $11.99
While not as Pure as its console relations, this game avoids being a complete Wipeout.
Juiced 2 Hot Import Nights $14.44
I like Juice. Then something about cars.
Wii
Madworld – $14.49
All around me are familiar faces, going nowhere, skipping verse-e-s (token Wii game for the week)
DS
Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands – $16.99
Token DS game for the list, portable version of the well received but largely Forgotten midquel to the Prince of Persia trilogy.
Free game!
Chibi Knight
Ok, so this is a massive cop-out, as this is a flash game, but I really enjoyed it, and I probably shouldn’t have agreed to do this while at work.
Now below, to make up for the lack of someone who actually knows what they’re doing, we present the latest issue of Commander Computer Games, which may or may not be written out of canon DC style next week. Made by the one and only Jimu Hsien.
