Pricewatch!

Nice catch. I'll keep an eye out, hopefully it makes it in a flash sale. Thanks!

Deep Silver would be stupid to put it into a flash sale. Sacred 2 Gold includes the add-on, which was so far unreleased internationally, I think. So it's actually a new release.

KoA collection is (again) not available in every region - the site forwards me to uk subsite where the price is £9. Since EA is involved into this I'm skipping it - I'm aware of EA's "treatment" of customers who bought their games on gamersgate and since I'm not living in UK I don't want to waste my life on EA's idiocy and probably the worst support out there.

Dragon Age complete pack doesn't contain DA2 DLC, but honestly, skipping DA2 DLC is not something bad.

Also worth mentioning is D&D anthology pack - for 10€ you get:
Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2 + Expansions
Icewind Dale 1 & 2 + Expansions
Planescape: Torment
The Temple of Elemental Evil

We all have those games already, but as a Xmas present for a someone('s kid) who still didn't try those, this is an awsome bargain. I really don't see a reason not gifting this pack to someone who could appreciate it instead of wasting 20$ on BG:EE.

New deals on Steam sale and while not RPG, I promise to any strategy lover this one is a masterpiece - Anno2070, -60% (20€ for "normal" edition, 22€ for deluxe edition).
http://store.steampowered.com/app/48240/

All DLC is also on sale, except those with price 1€, and I definetly recommend getting all DLC that include additional missions. Yes, I'm suggesting not to get the whole pack (40€) which is also on sale actually but just those DLC that are worth your money!
You have two days to think to buy or not to buy this gem for a nice price.


Also after several months DA:O is finally on sale again, but on the "flash" so you have 8 hours to buy the ultimate edition for 7.50€:

Dunno if you get preorder OP items automatically, nor I honestly care about those. Didn't bother to get them in the first place.

GOG is doing a flash sale on the Ultima series right now. Until tomorrow, all Ultima titles are 75% off. You can get Ultima 1-9 + UU 1-2 all bundled together for $8.94.

Dunno what's the catch, but another oddity, stupidity or you name it.

If you buy just ME3 on EA site, you'll pay 25€.
http://store.origin.com/store/eaemea/en_IE/html/pbPage.mass-effect-3-IE/

However, if you pay the same sum, you get all three MEs in this bundle, including Pinnacle station and Bring down the sky DLC:
http://store.origin.com/store/eaemea/en_IE/pd/ThemeID.850300/productID.257846700

Either I'm not seeing this right or perhaps my web browser has a bug.
The oddity doesn't end up here - there is no free promo (OP) item included. :D

Guild Wars 2 is $30 at Amazon. Cheapest it's ever been. So tempted but I don't think I will...

It is a fun game, worth every penny of it at full price. It may not be a long lasting MMO experience if that's what you want, but you should enjoy it for at least a month, which is more than what it takes me to finish most single player RPGs.

I planned to buy GW2 ages ago and for whatever reason they suspended the sale. When it got available again for several different reasons (don't ask) I've chosen not to buy it. This fresh price is really nice, but I simply won't have enough time to play it for next few months so I'm skipping it again.

Honestly when it comes to MMOs I can't think of any reason I should buy (or try) any new title. Not just because of my lack of time… In almost all cases it's the same stuff I've already seen and there is no fun in that. In cases of F2P, 99% of such games are simply a fraud and eventually show as more expensive than those that are not F2P.

Anyway, on EA store SW:TOR digital deluxe is now 15€ (was 80€ originally). Two months digital prepaid code is 27€. But I ask you - does anyone really care for that? I would give a triple of that total for Kotor3 if it existed. For MMO Star Wars I'm not prepared to give even a cent.

Maybe instead of wasting my time and money into new MMOs I'll do what thrasher did, reinstall ME3 and try their MP, haven't bothered with it when I played it for the first time and he's obviously having fun.

Todd, please post later if there is any problem with activating the game on EA site. If there is no problem, I could buy it myself...

In the meantime ANNO2070 is removed from steam sale, but added on gamersgate sale. For 30€ you get the game (deluxe edition) and three DLC. However Deep Ocean DLC is not on sale for whatever reason so I suggest skipping till it's price goes down:

No no problem other than the fact that you need 3 accounts overall:
1. GamersGate
2. Origin (which the Reckoning 7GB download prompts to install if you don't have it)
3. EA. I almost got bitten by this one since apparently I created an EA key back when the demo was released. Guessed correctly on the password.

For $14.99 its a no brainer but I prefer the simplicity of Steam.

Also grabbed Divinity 2: Developers Edition from Steam for $14.99...

I dilly dallied when it was on sale at Steam. But that's a great price on the base game. It's 5.00 cheaper than when it was on sale at Steam. I want this game but the Ubsoft dram is really buggin me. GOG doesn't have any Anno games, so I'm guessing I might have to suck it up for this game. ( I liked the demo - which is rare for me)

Actually the always online DRM in this case can be justified - you get a daily mission from server and also there is ongoing event that last for a while and you're practically pumping points with all players worldwide so once you all reach a certain total you all share rewards, I mean it's not utterly useless or annoying as you'll see. The only annoying thing happens if your network breaks and then the facility called ark and it's AI goes crazy and spams you with irrelevant data and stuff, but hopefully that won't happen often to you. ;)

I'm not sure why old Anno games are not on GOG, probably Ubisoft doesn't want GOG to remove DRM from those.

On GOG next 19 hours there is a similar pack. All those games from gamersgate offer plus:
Dragonshard
Demon Stone
Neverwinter Nights
http://www.gog.com/promo/dungeons___dragons_deal

The GOG D&D pack costs 21.5€ and sorry, but since I'm NWN hater :)D) I'm not gifting that one. Well, unless I think of someone who I really dislike enough to torture him with NWN.
But you might…

Also must be mentioned - Legend of Grimrock is 2.75€ on Steam:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/207170/
For that price, if you still don't have it, would be a sin to skip it again.

I'm not sure if anyone cares, but still. Sims 3, DLC and addons are almost all -66%, on Steam again:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/47890/?snr=1_4_4__800
Only Seasons and Supernatural are -50%.
If you're into that stuff or want to upgrade your Sims 3, well, open the wallet. If you never played Sims 3 and do want to check what's the fuss about all these years, and you just have to buy everything, prepare 175.85€ to make a nice Xmas present for EA. :D

However, I suggest skipping that and going for Sims Medieval. It's also -66% which makes it 17€. And you don't have to bother with annoying addons, DLC and whatnot as that doesn't exist here which is only a plus:
