Daily Scoop: October 3, 2013 – XCOM Deals

Oh weekend, you’re so close, yet so far. It’s a lovely Thursday, but it would be better if it was Friday. I’d even take a rainy Friday over a lovely Thursday…

Anyway, there are some new downloadable deals up at Amazon right now that you might want to check out, especially if you’ve been waiting to get into the XCOM series. The XCOM Collection, featuring XCOM: Enemy Unknown (w/ Slingshot and Elite Soldier Packs) + Apocalypse + Enforcer + Interceptor + Terror from the Deep + UFO Defense, is 75% off at $14.99 until October 10. That is ludicrously cheap. If you already own some of the XCOM games, you can get the XCOM Classics Pack for $3.75, The Bureau / XCOM EU Bundle for $24.99, XCOM: Enemy Unknown for $13.60, XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Slingshot for $3.49, and XCOM Enemy Unknown: Elite Soldier Pack DLC for $2.49. Now’s your chance to get into this great series, or pick up games you might be missing.

I’ve got a few t-shirts for you today: (more…)

Daily Scoop: October 2, 2013 – Fun times with Humble Bundles

Happy Wednesday! I keep thinking it’s Tuesday, which is bad, because I thought all day yesterday was Monday, and I feel like I’ve lost a day somewhere. It’s good because I’m closer to the weekend than I thought, but bad because I’m a day behind in my after-work activities!

Let’s talk about deals, shall we? Specifically, let’s discuss the latest Humble Bundle, which is the Humble Mobile Bundle 2. It started with Star Command, Time Surfer, Punch Quest, and Bloons TD 5, with Ravensword: Shadowlands and Carmegeddon unlockable if you paid more than the average. But today, they’ve added three more games if you pay more than the average: Karateka Classic (with digital copy of the book Making of Karateka), QWOP, and God of Blades. You’ve got less than a week left, so scoop it up!

Check out today’s t-shirt round up! (more…)

Daily Scoop: September 30, 2013 – GOG sale countdown

Whew, what a great weekend that was! The finale of Breaking Bad was amazing, and I played a ton of video games as well as other games – you know, the ones you don’t need a controller for. As always, though, the weekend flew by too quickly, and here we are again at yet another Monday.

But hey! At least you still have a few hours to get in on this GOG sale, where you can get VVVVVV, The Adventures of Shuggy, Gateways, Time Gentleman, Please! + Ben There, Done That, and Escape Goat, all for just $5.

Other than that, Amazon is still having their great sale on Xbox 360 consoles, so if you’ve been waiting to get one on the cheap, now is your chance.

As always, I’ve got some great t-shirts for you to check out! (more…)

Daily Scoop: September 27, 2013 – Death Road to Canada

Hey everyone! It’s a gorgeous Friday, and a reminder that the weekend starts in just a few short hours. Speaking of reminders, you only have two more hours to back Death Road to Canada on Kickstarter! And if you’re one of those people who hates kicking video games because of the long wait, I have good news for you: it’s coming out in November! That’s so close!

Already kicked the game? Then take some time to go check out our interview with Kepa Auwae, the Lead Designer at Rocketcat Games. Or, you know. Just add more money to your pledge. Whichever! (You know you need a kitten that will eat all of your food.)

If you want to check out the new Beyond: Two Souls demo, you’re going to have to go to GameStop’s Facebook page and sign up. It’s first come, first served, but there might be a few codes left. I strongly suggest you check it out!

Other than that, all I’ve got are t-shirts! (more…)

Daily Scoop: September 26, 2013 – Gotta Hatch ‘Em All

I didn’t think I could be more excited about Pokemon X and Y, but that changed this morning when I visited Serebii.net. They made two announcements yesterday – one was a new Pokemon, a cool-looking Steel/Ghost type named Doublade. But the amazing news is this gorgeous gold 3DS XL which comes pre-loaded with X or Y, unlike the other 3DS XL that came out last week (which we will never speak of again because who releases a special 3DS without the darn game?).

The sad news is that this 3DS XL will only be available at Pokemon Centers in Japan and on Amazon, which I’m assuming means Amazon.jp, which makes me a sad panda. Oh well – I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

There’s a new Humble Bundle available right now – it’s the Humble Mobile Bundle 2, which includes Star Command, Time Surfer, and Punch Quest. Scoop it up!

Again, I’ve got tons of great shirts for you! (more…)

Daily Scoop: September 25, 2013 – BioShock Deals

Good morning – and what a beautiful morning it is here in Philadelphia! This fall has started off beautifully. I love spending cool evenings playing video games, huddled up with a blanket and some warm snacks. What could be better?

There are a few good deals over at Amazon today. You can get Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan for $27.72, and quite a few Xbox 360 consoles are on sale. The Xbox 360 250GB Spring Value Bundle, Xbox 360 4GB Console with Kinect Nike+ Bundle, Xbox 360 E 4GB Console with Kinect Sensor, and Xbox 360 E 250GB Console are all $249, and each one comes with $50 in promotional credit as well. That’s some serious incentive!

They’re also having some amazing deals on the BioShock series as well. The PC downloads are super cheap, starting with the BioShock Triple Pack for $19.99. If you’ve already got the third game and just want the first two, then pick up the BioShock Dual Pack for $4.99. If you just need individual ones, BioShock and BioShock 2 are $9.99, while BioShock Infinite is $19.99.

Finally, if you’re looking for a sweet deal on indie games, head on over to GOG.com’s Super 5 Promo, which includes VVVVVV – worth it for the $5 alone. And seriously, don’t forget about Humble Bundle 9, which ends today!

Time for some great t-shirts to tempt your wallet! (more…)

Daily Scoop: September 24, 2013 – The Scoop Returns

Hello, friends! It’s been quite some time since I’ve written a scoop – mostly because of the insanity that was PAX Prime. Life has been so busy it’s been hard to get my bearings! But I’m here to tell you, first and foremost, about the Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day – it’s Saints Row IV! You can save 30% on all of the different versions, including the Wub Wub edition, bringing it down to $70 from $100. I just might use this as an excuse to pick it up! There are lots of other Lightning Deals happening today as well, so keep refreshing that page for more discounted games.

Also, in case you didn’t know about it, you’ve got one day left to pick up the amazing Humble Bundle happening now. Pay what you want for amazing games like Mark of the Ninja and Trine 2, and pay more than the average to get Faster Than Light and Fez, among others. Even if you’re like me and already own most of them, it’s worth the $5 to pick up the ones you’re missing.

If you love video game music as much as I do, you’ll definitely want to check out World 1-2: The Complete Collection, which has even more amazing music than the original. And instead of just being available digitally, you can order a physical CD with lots of awesome artwork. This one is worth picking up!

Other than that, there are a million great shirts up for sale today! (more…)
