Daily Scoop: November 30, 2015 – So many deals!
Hello, dear readers! I hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving, and that you were able to grab some awesome deals on Black Friday and today, Cyber Monday, as well as all the days in between! There have been so many good sales my head has been spinning. I’ve been trying my hardest not to buy any games, partly because of the backlog, and partly because I know I’ll be playing Fallout 4 through Christmas. But I do have some great deals for you today, so let’s check them out!
First, let’s cover the obvious ones! There’s a new Weekly Bundle at Humble, and it’s Team17 – The Threequel. Pay what you want for Worms, Worms Crazy Golf, Alien Breed: Trilogy, Light, and Worms Armageddon. Pay $6 or more to unlock Worms Revolution Gold, Worms Reloaded, Flockers, and Schrodinger’s Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark. Pay $12 or more to unlock a four pack of Worms Clan Wars, LA Cops, and Beyond Eyes. And finally, pay a whopping $70 to get the entire Team 17 Legacy Collection, which is an absurdly long list.
At Steam, there’s an intense sale happening. Just from the first page alone, you can grab Dying Light for $19.99, Prison Architect for $17.99, XCOM: Enemy Unknown for $7.49, and Terraria for $3.39. If you want it, it’s probably on sale!

Weekly Warp-Up: Happy Thanksgiving 2015
No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…
The Thanksgiving holiday has made this a rather slow weekend for the gaming industry. And there wasn’t much happening at all if you weren’t out shopping for Black Friday bargains on the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, Xbox Games Store, and Amazon. However, all of those sales are still active, so if you’re looking for a new game, you might find something good to download for cheap.
Speaking of something good, Time Magazine published a list of their Top Ten Video Games of 2015, and our own Mike Ryan weighed in on PictoParty, an excellent party game for the Wii U.

Weekly Warp-Up: It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Black Friday 2015
No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…
The Black Friday countdown has begun and I hope you have your wish list ready. If not, don’t forget to check out what GameStop will have on sale on the big day… you just might snag a few deals on this Fall’s biggest games.
And speaking of this Fall’s biggest games, EA is apparently already working on a sequel to Star Wars: Battlefront. The company’s CFO spoke at a technology conference earlier this week and confirmed that Star Wars: Battlefront 2 is officially in the works.
Also officially in the works this week is a biographical film about the life of Tetris creator Alexey Pajitnov. And if we believe Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (he’s Shang Tsung to everyone over the age of 30), filming on Mortal Kombat: Legacy 3 has already finished.
Finally, I suggest you read our review of Knight Squad, because it is one of the best party games on the Xbox One.

Weekly Warp-Up: Fallout 4 Aftermath Edition
No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…
I guess, technically, this week’s Weekly Warp-Up could be called the “Fallout 4 Fallout Edition,” but that might be going too far. Whatever you want to call it, Bethesda’s epic RPG is now available and fans are going nuts for it. These fans include our own Nicole Kline, who awarded Fallout 4 a 7/7 in her review.
And speaking of epic games… retailers have begun to publish their Black Friday advertisements this week. Target and Best Buy are first out of the gate and they’ve got some especially good discounts on console bundles this holiday season.
But if you’d rather root for the underdog, UK Correspondent Andrew Rainnie is back with a new collection of compelling crowdfunding campaigns in the latest edition of Kickstart This! You might not have ever heard of The Nullpoint, Cold Blooded, Grey Night, and Failsafe… so we recommend you remedy that.
We’ve got more news from the week that was after the break. (more…)

Hype Fatigue: Why I’m Exhausted With Viral Marketing, Elaborate Advertising Campaigns, and Countdowns
The machinations of video game marketers absolutely baffle me. Obviously, “video game marketing” is an incredibly broad term that encompasses hundreds of different campaigns a year, all run by different people, and all carried out with different expectations. Whipsawing between a seemingly neverending series of hype events and viral campaigns has started to make my head spin. Following hashtags and decoding secret messages has become de rigueur if you want to come up with all the latest game news. Last week, three publishers launched three very different viral campaigns that made me long for the days of the simple press release/trailer combo platter. But maybe they aren’t to blame, as video game marketing has been growing increasingly insane for years now. (more…)
