Awesome, Nice find.

Btw, Wing Commander III is still awesome I can't believe I still remember the controls! This is a game that needs a spiritual successor.

Walking Dead Season 2 is 60% off and is $9.99 on Steam.  The last episode came out today as well I believe.  I am debating if I should grab it now or wait for the Christmas sale.

[idolminds]

It is GOGs 6th birthday so they are running sales. Each day will have new games on sale based on which year they were added to GOG. Day One/Year One is up now. Check it out.

Humble Store has an end of summer sale on now as well.  You can get Warlock: Master of the Arcane for free right now!

EDIT: So I had page loading issues when trying to claim my free game and ended up with 2 extra copies so if you missed the promo and still want it I can hook you up.

Risk of Rain (4 pack)

$12+

[W7RE]

If you have friends to share the extra copies with, Risk of Rain is worth the $6 for BTA. The cheapest the game has ever been was $2.50, and you're getting 4 copies here.

[Quemaqua]

I kinda wanted Risk of Rain but I can't be sure I'll give it appreciable time. I haven't bought a bundle in a very long while now.

Bioshock Infinite is on sale on Steam.  Considering grabbing it, but can't quite decide, since I haven't had time to play Bioshock 2 yet.

[Cobra951]

Bioshock 2 is the better-playing game.  Infinite has the better setting and story, up till the weirdo ending anyway.  Don't miss either, if you liked Bioshock.

[Xessive]

Speaking of which, I have an extra copy of Bioshock 2 if anyone missed it.

Bioshock 2 plays better than Infinite? ...how? I know they're not made by the same devs, but I would have assumed the improvements in 2 would be looked at during development of Infinite, especially considering reviewers cited 2 as playing better. (I've only played Bioshock 1 and Minerva's Den for 2 btw, and not touched Infinite.)

Bioshock 2 has double-wielding in your control schemes. Makes things A LOT easier and faster, gameplay-wise. Plus, you have more enemy types than you did in the original game, as well - which makes the gameplay more fun. Plus, you have defense-type of sections, when dealing w/ the Little Sisters. Though, Bioshock 2's story is nowhere as great as Bioshock 1 + Infinite. Though, I do highly recommend you take on Minerva's Den DLC, as it's actually MUCH better story-wise + MUCH more personal than Bioshock 2 base-game by a mile. Minerva's Den retains the Bioshock 2 type of gameplay, but it's the much improved story, characters, and narrative that make it great.

Regardless - don't miss Bioshock 1; Bio 2 + Minerva's Den; Infinite + Season Pass.

[iPPi]

I think I'm going to hold off.  I was thinking about what I spent on the Bioshock series.  If memory serves correct, I bought Bioshock at full retail price ($59.99 or $69.99) when it first came out.  About a year ago, a hard copy of Bioshock 2 was for sale for $1.00 at EBGames factory sealed and I picked it up.  I'm going to see if Bioshock Infinite will be cheaper than it's current sale price this Christmas... hopefully $4.99 or less. 

Haha I have become really, really stingy with video game purchases nowadays.

[PyroMenace]

Titanfall is $10 through Amazon right now

Also Origin is giving out Crusader No Remorse for free, not sure how long that is going to last.

I forgot I had talked about this in here.  Thanks for answering W7RE's question, D.  That's pretty much how I feel.  I'll just add that I expected more from Infinite, being the supposed culmination of the series and all.  Yet I felt it was the weakest in terms of gameplay.  The vigors just didn't stand up to the plasmids, particularly those in the second game.  Infinite felt more like a corridor shooter than the earlier games.  That's ironic, considering the claustrophobic nature of the first 2 games, and the wide-open sky in Infinite.

I don't think the enemies; vigors/plasmids; and combat equipment in Infinite were as great as the original Bioshock 1 + Bioshock 2 & Minerva's Den. It just wasn't as interesting + as creative as the previous 2 games. Though, I love Infinite for its sky-lining sections in the combat (that was fun, fun, fun!!!) and the huge wide-open spaces - and I love it for its game-world, the subject-matter its tackling, story + plot.

Also, I really loved Burial At Sea, Part 2. Sure, I liked Part 1 - but by the time I was really getting to like Part 1, it unfortunately ends. BAS Part 2 feels more like a Looking Glass developed Thief game, since Elizabeth is not as straight-forward to play as say Booker. BAS Part 2 was great, IMHO.

Still, no matter how it's cut - every Bioshock game is worth playing.

[idolminds]

Don't have Starcraft 2? Do you want Starcraft 2? Well then you can buy Starcraft 2 direct from Blizzard for $9. That expansion for Starcraft 2? Also $9.

Starcraft 2.

[idolminds]

Also new Humble Bundle with Sega games. Its kind of a meh bundle overall, but the cheap tier has the Dreamcast collection (minus Jet Set Radio for some reason) and Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, which I have come to understand is a pretty decent kart racing game. Might be worth a buck just to pick it up.
