For all you PC owners out there who don’t yet own Mass Effect: your time has come.
You can now pick up the 20+ hour epic space opera for the reasonable price of $9.99. I was one of those gamers who was late to the draw and picked it up late, despite all the guff it got due to all it’s flaws, and was absolutely entranced by how engaging the narrative was. Log onto Steam, or just check it out here!
Maybe it’s for Movember. Maybe it’s because Telltale Games likes giving away free games (you remember this one?). Maybe it’s because it’s Wallace & Gromit’s 20-year anniversary.
The “why” doesn’t matter. All you need to know is: FREE GAME!
This week, Telltale Games is offering the third episode of Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures, “Muzzled!” for the low price of free. Details after the jump.
Today Valve announced another pre-order incentive for Left 4 Dead 2. If you pre-order the co-op zombie shooter off of Steam or redeem a retailer-provided pre-order code, you will receive a new hat for your Team Fortress 2 characters.
To be specific the hat is Bill’s beret from Left 4 Dead. According to the TF2 Blog, “This is not fan fiction! This is not a dream sequence! The characters from Team Fortress 2 will team-up with Bill’s hat from Left 4 Dead 1!”

Remember Toys ‘R’ Us’s “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” deal that was going on a scant few weeks ago? The one that was supposedly being honored at some Best Buys, despite others receiving explicit memos NOT to honor the price match? Well, it looks like the BB higher-ups have changed their minds.
October 25-31, 2009: Buy 2, Get 1 Free at Best Buy (PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii games $59.99 or less, excluding pre-orders) in-store OR online. Also, online orders receive free shipping.
Isn’t that something? Who needs to eat anyway? I just wish it applied to DJ Hero…

The gaming world has been given a rare gift this week with Toys ‘R’ Us launching a “Buy 2 Get 1 free” deal on their entire video game selection. With both Uncharted 2 and Brutal Legend releasing on Tuesday, it doesn’t take a genius to decide where to go to buy these games. Unfortunately, toy stores nation wide have been selling out of both titles extremely fast, leaving gamers to wallow in misery.
Have no fear, because reports are coming in that Best Buy stores all across the country are honoring the Toys ‘R’ Us deal. Considering they have a much larger selection of games, and they stock more of each, Best Buy is definitely the best place to go to take advantage of this incredible deal. Make sure you call your local store first though, as it’s not 100% guaranteed that every one is matching this offer. Read more… »
