Mark of the Ninja. Got my eye on that sucker as the demo was brilliant

Im going for the LEGO game pack, always loved the lego games

Im going to keep my eye out for when the discounts are announced, Im probably going to pick up the keflings DLC, also going to see if the LA Noire DLC is included as i will grab them for when i get round to playing it

If the LA Noire dlc is cheap enough I might give that a look as well as I am enjoying it at the mo

Will get the walking dead episodes 4&5 as I have not got round to playing them yet

I think anyone who hasn't tried TWD at all should give them a look if the price is cut. 400 pts per episode is decent enough as it is but anything lower makes it an even better proposition!

Ive heard the 1st episode is going to be free to give everyone else the chance to get into it, will be picking it up though fo'sure

i will bet getting twd episodes when they come out on sale

That's a good move. Tbh, the demo of ep 1 is just thorough enough to give anyone chance to decide if they are willing to play through the lot.

Eyes on Mark of the Ninja and Deadlight for me

Deadlight finally!!! been waiting for that to be on offer since it came out - same with Fez

I would be wary of Fez - I think it has a bug that can affect game saves and it has never been (or likely to ever be) patched.

I got it and enjoyed it but it is a real mind bender of a game and once I lost track of where I had got to I never went back to it.

Shame because you can see just how much effort and thought Phil Fish and his team put into it

I played the Demo and enjoyed it but reading about that glitch really put me off of buying it, It isnt ever going to be patched

Picked up Mark of the Ninja last night for 600 points

I was hoping that the LA Noire DLC would be discounted today but this offer is just for the GoD version

I picked up Joe Danger 2 the other day and may pick LA Noire up (price depending) Serious Sam is DOTW btw and all games are half price


As far as the next few days go TWD is a must if its discounted as is Deadlight

LA Noire is £11.99 Tom, you could pick up a preowned copy for less.....

Todays deal appears to be just Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD for 600 points

Deadlight is 50% off today and at 600 points it's a bargain!

I picked up Mark of the Ninja the other day, think I may have to pick up Deadlight as well

The Walking Dead Episode 1 is free and the other 4 episodes are 200msp each. An abosolute bargain, I will be buying the last 2

Will grab ep1

800 points for the whole series? Surely the best deal in this promotion. Well worth picking up if you have the points spare

atm i have 570, and a monster of a hangover so i dont want to leave the house but i might have to, off the top of your head do you know how big the downloads are?

not that big mate, a few hundred meg each I think.

If you need a top up of points to keep you going, Game have started doing digital delivery and you can get 800 points for £6.99
