The Buy-games-and-save-money thread

[blueskirt]

In this day and age of digital distribution, mega sales at ludicrously low prices, indie bundles and pay-what-you-want business model, there is always a game somewhere that's sold for cheaper than it normally is.

In the last months I stumbled on sales that might have interested some of you, a couple months ago all 5 Tex Murphy games were sold for 50% off on Good Old Games, then it was the 15th anniversary edition of Out Of This World and Sanitarium that were 30% cheaper, then all the Telltales adventure games were dirt cheap on Steam and even cheaper on Telltales' official site, Monkey Island 1 SE was given for free to anyone who pre-purchased MI2SE, there's also been several pay-what-you-want indie bundles with World of Goo, Osmos and Machinarium and other games worth playing, and all this time I told you nothing because I thought "Man, if I report all those sales, they'll start to think I'm a spammer." Well, not anymore.

From now on, if anyone spot a game that might interest some of us and that's sold for cheaper than it normally is, please bump this thread and tell us about it.

To the moderators: Feel free to move this thread wherever you feel it's more appropriated.

I can't believe I bought Machinarium without the soundtrack just before this offer began! Curses!

The complete season of Tales Of Monkey Island is sold for $5 on Steam. I don't know for how long so if you haven't purchased it already, now would be a good time.

Silly GOG, I wasn't planning to get BS3 but I suppose I will.

Sweet! 

[Calin Leafshade]

I already have them all so this offer is completely worthless to me!

..give me $9.99 and we'll call it quits.[/logic]

[m0ds]

I heard Calin was available for 9.99.

Can barely type that witicism though....goddamn hanson ***!

Edit: Sorry to drunkenly derail the thread. Don't usually drink whiskey.. I think it's a great idea though, let's see how the list grows.

Peder thank you for the info!It's a bargain and I'm glad you posted this. Just bought it.-

[blueskirt]

All GOG games are up to 50% off for the holidays, if you missed a sale, here's your chance.

[Eggie]

Some of them are only on sale for three days though. Much to my overdrawn self's dismay 

[Wonkyth]

The sequel to the Humble Indie Bundle is currently ticking!

[tzachs]

And if you haven't got the humble bundle yet, if you pay above the average (which is currently less than 8 dollars) you also get the previous bundle, that's eleven games in total, pretty sweet deal!
