Freshen up wipes at the ready.

The RPS Bargain Bucket: Scary Deals

Posted by Lewie Procter on November 1st, 2009.

It seems Halloween is a big deal for you lucky digital distributees. Some very big name games for very small time prices are on offer this week. I think, and just take a moment to realize the gravity of this statement. This is quite possibly the best bargain bucket we’ve ever had. Empty you wallets hither. If you still have any money after reading this, head over to SavyGamer and I’ll do my best to convince you to part with any spare change you might have left.

Incredi-bargain! STALKER! Incredi-bargain!

Posted by Alec Meer on October 26th, 2009.

We normally reserve talk of discounted games for Saturday’s Bargain Bucket post, but this one’s too good to leave for then. STALKER: Shadow Of Chernobyl is a title that instantly flickers into the forebrain of both myself and Jim whenever the question of the last few years’ best/most important PC games is raised. It is not a perfect game, but it realises a world, a place, an atmosphere, a dream of what games can and should be that pretty much nothing else even tries to come close to. And it’s £3.50 on Steam (not sure of US price – presumably around $5?) until Monday. I find that almost insulting. On the other hand, it means there’s essentially no excuse to not buy the thing if you haven’t already. What else could you spend that £3.50 on? If you do invest in it, I strongly advise you apply the STALKER Complete 2009 mod compilation for maximum post-apocalyptic prettiness.

Big news over at SavyGamer folks. I’ve done a complete site redesign, and it is no longer ugly. Hooray! In terms of functionality, there is now categorised RSS feeds, so if you want to just follow the PC bargains, there is a separate feed for that. Enough shameless self promotion though, there’s bargain bucketeering to be done. Here’s your weekly digest of digital diversions.

I’d have liked to include Red Faction: Guerrilla in this weeks bargain bucket, because it’s a ton of fun, but THQ’s insane international pricing policies on Steam have kept it out. Instead we’ve got a wide selection of games from all over the globe, and in all different genres. Let the bargains being!

The RPS Bargain Bucket: A Hit, Man

Posted by Lewie Procter on October 10th, 2009.

It appears that the Atlantic is causing some serious fiscal interference with the internet this week. The waves are disrupting EA’s discount rays, and they can only cut prices in the UK. Maybe global warming is to blame. Still, there are some great deals to be had for both those that say tom-ah-toe and those that say tom-ay-toe. If you want more video game cheap niceties, go to SavyGamer.co.uk.

It’s that time of the week again. That time when you can help yourself from buying games because they are cheap and you might want to play them at some point. That can only mean it’s bargain bucket o’clock. A mix of indies, oldies, and games that are not even finished being made yet are on offer this week. Bargains from the future if you will.

The RPS Bargain Bucket: Die, Son

My PC broke this week, so I had to write this all on a borrowed laptop. It has Windows 2000 on it, and a tiny tiny keyboard – not fun times. Still, I laboured through, just for my love of cheap games and bringing them to you special people. Some fantastic expectations this week. Amazing revelations too. If you enjoy money and games, and like having as much as possible of both, you should have a look at my website, SavyGamer. On to the deals…
