This week is a fun one. Not only because I get to briefly mention Tex Murphy again in an article (though, admittedly, that is a fairly big factor) but because the deals have been plentiful. Onto Tex Murphy business though – you can get Tex Murphy cheap right now and you should, if you have a weak spot for film noir, adventure games or general silliness.
As usual, we’ve got deals that’ll work in the UK, deals that’ll work in the US and some deals that will work in both the UK and US, as well as presumably many other places. Let’s get started.
UK & US Deals

Last but certainly not least, you may have seen by now that there’s a Tomb Raider Barbie doll on the way. If you’d like to own it, you can get a pre-order in right now from the official Mattel website. That tiny pick-axe is adorable.

Okay, we’re done for another week. Keep in mind that deals, prices and availability can change at the drop of a hat, so apologies if you miss out on something you wanted. I’ll be over at Jelly Deals, scouring the world wide web for more deals. Feel free to visit, or follow us on Twitter and give us a like on Facebook.
Did you know that Jelly Deals has launched a newsletter? It lets us bring the best deals directly to you each day. Subscribe here, if that seems like your kind of thing.

PSA – just in case you’re not aware, you can get the US Amazon Digital Deals in the UK.
Simply log into Amazon US with your UK account and set up a US delivery address – it doesn’t actually matter because it’s just a CD key, but it’s used to work out sales tax. Simply pick a delivery address in Alaska to avoid tax all together!

A Lara Croft Barbie. I suppose it has something to do with a new movie coming out in a few weeks.
23/02/2018 at 17:59 lglethal says:
Just curious, does it still count as a Barbie if its not actually Barbie?
Or are we just supposed to pretend its Barbie pretending to be Lara Croft?
:P
23/02/2018 at 22:31 Carra says:
The real question is if Ken is a Barbie doll?
23/02/2018 at 11:31 Carra says:
If I didn’t already have *every single one* of the humble bundle games, it would be great!
Must buy for someone who hasn’t got them yet.
23/02/2018 at 11:50 manio22 says:
Why they do that to us now, the bastards?
23/02/2018 at 11:54 Carra says:
To be fair, I haven’t played 5 of them yet… Probably a sign that I buy too many games.
23/02/2018 at 13:48 Singular says:
Absolute belter of a bundle. I’m in the same boat as you though…
23/02/2018 at 14:38 trollomat says:
If I didn’t already have the Shadowruns, this would be by far the best games deal for me yet. Still good for the RPGs and Xenonauts which are on my wishlist.
23/02/2018 at 11:52 Dodgy says:
The BF2 deal is already sold out. 20€. Hilarious how big that game has failed.
23/02/2018 at 12:07 Evan_ says:
Tex Murphy! A name I didn’t hear in a long while. To better think of it, I never heard it – I only read it when gaming journalism meant buying paper-things.
That looks positively gorgeous. A game with live actors is always a treat. I can equally enjoy how good, or how terrible they are. I know what I’m playing this weekend.

Most of EA’s titles are still heavily discounted on the Origin store, and that sale is going on until March.
I paid about 22 CAD for a copy of ME: Catalyst and for GOTY of Inquisition, both of which are (iirc) 75% off.
23/02/2018 at 13:26 John Richardson says:
That AOC monitor is pretty damn good. The contrast and colour reproduction is fantastic for the standard price.
Of course it would be £70 cheaper now than when I bought it a month ago :/
23/02/2018 at 18:44 Targaff says:
I’d happily pay that and more for Titanfall 2, but Origin.
25/02/2018 at 20:57 Spakkenkhrist says:
A small price to pay for a great game.

The tinyBuild bundle at Fanatical is also looking pretty good. I’d get it, but I already have most of the games that make it worth it.
