Game Deals & Book thread

Shopping channels?? Do they sell simulator stuff there??

Sigh…bought this too…looks interesting. I imagine playing some of these with my son after a few more years…he’s not quite at the age to be watching zombies and apocalyptic scenes…(but…but…you let him watch Luke get his arm chopped off by his father…!!)

I almost bought Duskers on @fearlessfrog’s recommendation…

Blame @Sargoth for that one: :slight_smile:

Oooh…yeah…it looks really cool. Not sure if 15% off is enough though. Looks like another good laptop game…

Holy cow there are a lot of anime titties I mean titles out there. :confused:

I have to be really in the mood for a ‘rogue-like’, as although they are good for repeated plays I can tend to rage at the random (RNG) cards they tend to deal. Seems so unfair! :slight_smile:

I bought Duskers at full price. Well worth it, in my opinion.+the devs need the money.

Hmm…what is this? (Looks sorta Ace Combat-ish…but Hinds!!)

And hmm…would this be a good “dip the toe” to see if I’d like CMANO?

Nostalgia purchase!

Yep, I have my beady eye on that too - it looks a good taster for me without wallet damage just to see how I like it.

Hmm…so does anyone know the age rating for The Secret of Monkey Island? I’m trying to find some good games or story/games that I can watch with my son, but he’s only six, so it’s hard to figure out what is appropriate or not. Edit - Well, PEGI says 12…

Rise of Flight is having another sale:

It’s rather good, if quite hardcore, with a really well thought out scenario.

Basically, if you’ve ever dreamt of planning a tactical nuclear strike using Blackburn Buccaneers, then it’s the game for you…

CMANO is 50% off till the 4th right now on steam. so a cool $40 gets you the game.

I’d say Monkey Island is safe for a six year old. And fun. I actually played that game when I was six.

PEGI12??? Why? A bit of drinking. Almost no real violence. No foul language. No sex.
I’d say it is pretty much Pirates of the Caribbean level.

Well, there’s an awful lot of spitting and grave diggin’! :grin:

This game is in my Wish List - but $9.74 (25% off) still seems kind of high for a 2008 game (?) or is it worth it?

  • Cue @EinsteinEP to come along and tell me what it is worth is what I’m willing to pay for it…and $9.74 is pretty close…LOL…

I somehow missed Monkey Island but it’s got quite the following. I say go for it.

What? 2008??
I am talking about the REAL version of course, which is from 1990

(although the remake is ok, I just like the old blocky one so much because of childhood memories)
EDIT: Also “You fight like a dairy farmer!”
EDIT: Also “Look behind you, a three-headed monkey!” :smiley: :smiley:
EDIT: Holy crap I know why Pirates of the Caribbean is so much like Monkey Island! Ted Elliot wrote the story. He was also the writer of the cancelled Monkey Island films a few years before that.
EDIT: LOL I love that game.
EDIT: You can probably tell by the lot of edits. Also: Is there an achievement for too many edits of one post? :smiley:
EDIT: Corrected typos. :smiley:
