Pretty great, varied, selection of games to be had at a discount this fair weekend, although I am beginning to wonder if we’ll ever have just one bargain bucket that doesn’t highlight the discrepancies of international pricing. There is much more cheapness to be had at SavyGamer (including a nice little scam to get into the Battlefield Bad Company 2 beta without committing to buying the game). BARGAINS GO:

There’s only one game that I have played in this weeks selection. Oh er. Lets see if I can successfully blag it, and convince you lot that I know what I am talking about. I think I’ll just rely on Alec for most of them. For more electronic cheapness get yourself over to SavyGamer.co.uk.

Happy 2010 folks. How much did you manage to “save” over Christmas? In the wake of the epic steam sale that was, you may be hoping to avoid splashing out on some cut-price interactive entertainment software, but nay, I say, nay! Spend more (in smaller chunks) play more, that’s the bargain bucket’s new year’s resolution.

Digital distribution’s a funny bugger – it’s growing ever harder to predict and apply patterns to it. One day, a new videogame from Steam et al is more expensive than its boxed-copy counter-part, then a few weeks later it can be selling for next-to-nothing. The Steam Christmas sale is almost unreal in both the amount and extent of its discounts, and it’s going to be having Valve’s competitors howling with despair. Honestly: some of these deals are yer-actual-genuine-proper-mental. Today only: Mirror’s Edge is £3.24, GTA IV is £5. In general over the seasonal shakedown: Braid is £1.74, Medieval II: Total War is £2.50, Ghostbusters is £5, Batman’s £20… And dozens and dozens more. Of course, there are sales on at the other major download services too..

In the words of the prophet IT’S CHEEEERRR-ISSSSSST-MMMMAASSSSS. As such, it’s time to grab a last handful of bargains from the bucket of commerce. As well as this, expect a whole load of offers to come up next week – last year was mental, and there’s no reason to think this won’t be too. You’ll find news of the offers as they break over at SavyGamer.co.uk. Hurrah! But on with the offers…

Some older classics and some more recent indie funtimes make up this week’s bargain bucket, and I get silly and passionate towards the end. The two advent calendars from Gamesgate and D2D are still underway too, with a new deals every 24 hours til Christmas. Some great pre-Christmas discounts are available all over the place at the minute, so be sure to keep a keen eye on SavyGamer.

Back again after a week of completely not being here, it’s the Bargain Bucket. The various digital distribution outlets from around the internet are starting to get into the festive season, and are discounting their games accordingly. We’ve got a pair of advent calendars to keep an eye on, no chocolate sadly though, just discounted computer games. To keep a closer eye on what’s going on in the Christmas sales, be sure to visit SavyGamer.co.uk.

Steam’s got some sort of mad Christmas Turkeytime sale on at the moment, tearing big chunks of money-flesh out of a different clutch of titles each day until Monday. Keep an eye on the deals here, as we’re not going to post about it every blimmin’ day. What did your last slave die of? This one’s worth its own mention though – 50% off the complete pack of every THQ game on Steam, whose total discount now rips £183.33 off the price of buying each game individually. That’s the complete Red Faction, Company of Heroes, Full Spectrum Warrior, Titan Quest and Dawn of War lineages to date, Saints Row II, Stalker, and er, Juiced 2 and Frontlines Fuel of War. £26.50 to Brits, $50 to Americans and €50 to the rest of Europe. WE WIN! FOR ONCE, WE WIN! Essentially, 18 games for the price of buying Red Faction Guerilla or Dawn of War II on its own. Good’un, this.
