RYSE, Diablo III, tons of Lego games, and more all on sale.

If you like Gears or tps, Vanquish should be an insta buy at that price.  Games to shooters what Ninja Gaiden Black was to hack n' slash.

I paid lot more, and only regret waiting on getting it.

I paid full price on day 1 for Vanquish. Highly recommended.

Seriously though, super evil, gay Russians threatening the earth with super lasers.  What's not to love?

Gameplay wise, imagine a cover shooter mixed with Bullet Storm and anime'd up to 11.

[DocSavage]

Imagine that, a game from Japan animed up.   

Hey, Bulletstorms awesome and all, but gameplays pretty slow moving and just plain different by comparison.  Vanquish is more like a mix of Gears and Ikaruga.  Bullet hell third person shooter, more or less.

Looks like the season 2 pass for Walking Dead is on sale.

Season one was fantastic. 

[DocSavage]

Space Invaders:  Infinity Gene going for 4.99.

Almost let this one slip by, because remakes of Invaders style remakes are usually garbage, but after seeing some vids, I had to get it. 

Basically, the gimmick is each stage "evolves", or adds a new mechanic, so you're basically seeing how we went from Space Invaders to modern games like Ikaruga.  It's great.

Burnout Revenge on sale.  I own the ps2 edition, and still bought it.

[DocSavage]

Worth it.  Now if only Burnout 3 had an hd version.

[DocSavage]

hd version of San Andreas for 3.75.

I have it for the ps2, but at that price what the hell.

Between this and Burnout:  Revenge, I guess I'm one of those shmucks who buys hd remakes that I used to make fun of (Even if with Burnout, I felt justified because the higher res makes it easier to actually see what you're doing, compared to the lower res PS2 version..)

[DocSavage]

Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings free for the 2 360 Gold members who didn't buy it.

I'm sure there's at least one more guy besides me that didn't, right?  ^_^
