There are a few deals to point out today. First, the weekly Humble Bundle is a bunch of Pinball FX2 tables. They are mostly big licenses from comic books.

GoG is having a sale on Activision games, but as it's GoG it's really a "Sale on classic Sierra games and a few others." I'm psyched though because Spycraft is on sale, which I've been wanting to play again for a while.

I like some of the old Sierra games.

There are a bunch of WB games on sale in the Humble Store. If you bundle 3 or more of them together you get a bigger discount.

For some reason Mad Max doesn't seem to be available as a bundle choice but you can buy it by itself for $20.

They are also running a build your own bundle sale on Roguelike games.

Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is on sale for $40 on Amazon.

Amazon product ASIN B00ZGPISQ2
Speaking of Amazon, you can get Black Ops 3 for PC for $22.26

Amazon product ASIN B00VU4IXIQ
Assassins Creed Syndicate on Sale on PSN for $30

That Black Ops 3 price is really surprising. Activision has always been hesitant to lower prices on their COD games. Even when a new game releases you sometimes see last year's game on "sale" for $40. Between this and the $15, multiplayer only option on PC they seem to be trying some new things with Black Ops 3.

Edit: to prove my point, here are the current prices for Advanced Warfare on Amazon.
Amazon product ASIN B00VJ3ACZ0

PS4 - $43.95
Xbox One - $37
PC - $49.99

Activision has been bad on prices in general, or at least in terms of sales when compared to companies like Square Enix and Deep Silver. I mean when you're in a position like they are they pretty much can set prices as they see fit. Granted they're not as awful as Nintendo is, but for any of their mildly popular games you're lucky if you can find a discount greater than 50%.

I'm still holding out for a 50% discount on Black Ops 3 season pass, but I doubt that'll show up anytime before Christmas so I'm far from holding my breath.

If you find this, let me know too.

Pretty hard to beat this Xbox One deal: 1 TB HDD, GoW Ultimate, Rare Replay, Ori, The Division, Rainbow 6 Siege, and AC: Syndicate (35 games) for $400.

Apparently PSN is having a big Assassins Creed sale. Probably the biggest deal is the Gold Edition of AC: Syndicate for $36.

There is a new Humble Jumbo Bundle. I got it mostly for the Shadowrun games.

 

[yourbeliefs]

I mainly got it for the Dreamfall Chapters. I played Dreamfall: The Longest Journey and thought it was pretty good but unfortunately it ended on a MASSIVE cliffhanger.

 

[king3pj]

I didn't know what that game was but I looked it up on Steam and it looks really cool. I wonder if someone who hasn't played the previous games can jump straight into this without feeling lost.

 

[yourbeliefs]

Ehhh.. I'm not sure. It's the third game in a series of story heavy adventure games. I mean I played Dreamfall without playing The Longest Journey and I was okay for the most part but I think you'd have to at least read a catch up or something before you play chapters from what I've read.

Good deals from Best Buy today. You can get Arkham Knight and MK X for One/PS4 for $20, $16 if you're a GCU member.

For a little less than the price of 1 of them, you can get the 2 Jackbox Party Pack games.

Highly recommend these. Great fun and very accessible as long as you have a phone or tablet.

I can highly recommend Jackbox Party Pack 1 as well. I've never played Party Pack 2 but I have to assume it's pretty good.
