    Since the original thread has passed the 10,000 post mark, welcome to bargain thread the second!

    Based on feedback in the last thread, we're looking at ways to hopefully clean up this one just a little, but for the moment post away as normal :)

    Link to the old thread, in case you want to look back and remember that time you got that game for basically nothing. Ah, a good day that was! http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054885783

    Dunno whether I should be celebrating this new thread or dreading it. :)


    Not sure how much of a bargain this is, but if you want the Wonderbook with Playstation Move and Eye I think €34.99 isn't a bad price

    I suppose adding the link and location may help. I saw it in Smyths in Letterkenny

    Oooh, controversial, implying it's not a real game. :pac: I think I already own it. Must take a look this evening.

    Seems to be a routine now before buying a game with Steam - See bargain, check steam, check humble bundle account in case already got it there but hadn't registered, check GOG account, check PS+ to see if got it there, check other bundle sites, check isthereanydeal then either purchase or decide to wait until a steam sale.

    ^^ yep, i grabbed that earlier, seeing as its a new thread and in case anyone missed it, Anomoly: Warzone Earth is still free on Games Republic, you have to register but can claim the Steam game in "My Games" afterwards - http://gamesrepublic.com/

    Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means

    Probably easier to say that there's a massive Bohemia Interactive sale on Steam at the minute.

    However Original Warhttp://store.steampowered.com/app/235320/ at €0.90 is an absolutely crazy deal.

    One of the best RTS games I've ever played.

    I still want the Steam one though. I am literally lazy enough that I will wait for a Steam price drop instead of adding a shortcut through Steam to play it.

    If you're looking for recommendations then Far Cry 3 for €7.50 is a very good deal. I'm sure it'll go on sale at some point for €6 or €5 in another for months but it's a cracking game. Tomb Raider is there at the same price although I haven't played it myself. If you like sandboxes, Just Cause 2 is a steal at €3.75.

    In terms of indie games Papers Please is there for €4, definitely pick that up if you hadn't already. It's a very clever little game, got rave reviews when it came out last year too. Monaco is a pretty fun little heist game that has both online and local co-op, you won't get it for much less than the €3 it's going for. Also while I still haven't played it, I've heard very good things on here and around the web about Gone Home which is €5 right now.

    Have played gone home myself, it's more of an interactive story than a game. Still some nice ideas to story telling. Only about 2 hours long but worth the €5 imo

    I got Far Cry for ps3 when it came out in SuperValu for €15, was well chuffed :D And got the Just Cause bundle back at the Christmas steam. sales. Great games!
    And I had my eye on Monaco, is it as good as it sounds?
    Papers Please looks a but monotonous. but I can't look at any videos of it at the moment
