Retailer: GreenmanGaming
Price: $12.49 (50% Off)

Fot those who still haven't tried the insane multiplayer glory of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, I highly recommend it. It's gory, it's beautiful, and it's about as fun as can be. It's got that fun mix of visceral combat and tactics that make for deep, engaging gameplay. If you've got a few hours to get lost in some medieval mayhem, I highly recommend this one.
Magicka: Complete Collection (75% Off)
Magicka: Complete Collection (75% Off)
Retailer: Steam
Price: $8.74 (75% Off)

Magicka is one of those really rare games that offer something completely unique in the gameplay department. An action-RPG that plays like no other, it'll have you mixing natural elements with hotkeys to craft your own spells in real-time. It's the closest thing to being a wizard you'll ever experience and the game, as well as all of its DLC (including the awesome Vietnam expansion) are on sale.
Jurassic Park: The Game (66% Off)
Jurassic Park: The Game (66% Off)
Retailer: Gamefly
Price: $10.20 (66% Off)

Well, it looks like Jurassic Park IV is actually going to happen, but if you're impatient like I am you can grab a brand-new dino adventure over at Gamefly. I'll warn you now though, despite being developed by the same folks who did The Walking Dead, it is by no means a fantastic game. If $10 is too much for you to experiment with, check out this free Half-Life 2 mod that'll probably satisfy.
Dead Space 1 or 2 (75% Off)
Dead Space 1 or 2 (75% Off)

Dead Space 2 Link: http://bit.ly/MdwFHD
With the new Dead Space 3 demo finally out, it's time to refresh yourself on the originals. Gamefly's offering both Dead Space and Dead Space 2 for $5 a pop which is more than reasonable considering their pedigree. If going through the trouble of playing them is just too much for you, then check out this video that'll catch you up on the series so far.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II (17% Off)
Call of Duty: Black Ops II (17% Off)
Retailer: Gamestop
Price: $49.99 (17% Off)
Link: http://bit.ly/12DaSoX
With the Revolution DLC pack on the way, there's a good lot of fun to be had online with Black Ops 2. Even old people will agree with that! The campaign's probably the best the series has ever seen and, even though the box art sucks, it's a must-own for FPS fans.
LEGO: Lord of the Rings
LEGO: Lord of the Rings (50% Off)
Retailer: Gamestop
Price: $9.99 (50% Off)
Link: http://bit.ly/VcTynh
For those who haven't had enough of The Hobbit yet, LEGO: Lord of the Rings is now on sale and offering a beautiful recreation of Middle Earth all done in little bricks. It's a fun co-op experience, especially if you've got kids to play with and there's more than enough content in the game to justify a purchase at $10.
Hotline Miami (50% Off)
Hotline Miami (50% Off)
Retailer: GetGamesGo
Price: $4.94 (50% Off)
Link: http://bit.ly/NNMju3
You've probably heard your friends talking about Hotline Miami, saying it's one of the most insanely satisfying violent games of last year. The soundtrack alone (Click here to listen to it all) is unbelievable and while the developers really don't mind piracy, they totally deserve the $5 GetGamesGo is asking this weekend.
Anno 2070 (60% Off)
Anno 2070 (60% Off)
Retailer: Steam
Price: $19.99 (60% Off)
Link: http://bit.ly/rueR6m
The problem with a lot of real-time strategy games is that even though they're incredibly engrossing and have a brilliant balance of game mechanics, they're ugly as sin. Anno 2070 changes this by offering one of the most gorgeous looking city-building experiences this side of Sim City. Do be mindful though that in horrible Ubisoft tradition, it's got some god-awful DRM.
Tantalizing THQ Medley (91% Off)
Tantalizing THQ Medley (91% Off)
Retailer: Amazon
Price: $11.99 (91% Off)
Link: http://amzn.to/10EkZvi
Man, this is getting depressing. Can we please stop kicking a dead horse yet? THQ is gone, we get it... Seeing such awesome games at such an insane discount just makes it more obvious how much losing the publisher sucks. Still, sympathy's no reason to pass on a deal; enjoy it, you vultures!
The Snow Storm Bundle
The Snow Storm Bundle
Retailer: Indie Royale
Price: Pay-What-You-Want
Link: http://www.indieroyale.com/
The folks at Indie Royale may not have been the first to come up with the idea of bundling indie games for a pay-what-you-want price, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the fruits of their labors. With titles like RoboBlitz, StarDrone, Project AFtermath, RobotRiot, Hinterland, and Resonance available if you pay the minimum of $5.42 (at time of writing) there's a lot to enjoy for a small price.
