Sale Pick of today:

Fallout New Vegas for £3.74  This is an absolute Bargain! but beware there are a whole host of expansions for this for more gameplay that are not in the sale, it will also take you a long time to play & its not without its bugs unfortunately (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/down.gif)  Great Game, shame about the reliability in places.

EDIT: ALL THE EXPANSIONS ARE ALSO 75% OFF, NOW ITS AN UNBELIEVABLE BARGAIN!! (but will take an age & 1/2 to complete)

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum Edition for £6.79
a bit dated, and you may even be able to get it cheaper, but it you like your sim games & have hours to spare then its good fun, low intensity gaming.

Again offers end @ 6pm GMT, how inconvenient (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/rolleyes.gif)

Post by: FUBAR on November 25, 2011, 12:48:17 am

New Vegas' prequal Fallout 3 Game of the year edition (with all the expansions) is also £9.99 in the sale, but now you're taking on some SERIOUS gaming time!

Sorry, last post for the evening, there's another game in the sale called Zombie Driver (search for it in the racing genre)  For it and its DLC its a whopping £1.98!!

Its a Top-down zombie killing racing game & for sub £2 it looks like a bit of a laugh and at that money its worth it TBH, this is not a daily deal so no rush. also it will run on anything and has multiplayer.

Also the "Muscle Car" in it looks a lot like a 3rd gen Camaro... with rocket launchers... (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/wink.gif)

Today's picks... other than GTA IV for a fiver none... Dead island might be alright but not played it & its 15 quid, Dead rising 2 would be a better choice for mindless zombie hoards.

wait for tomorrow.
3:38am... Zzzzzz.
