Want a free PC game? Of course you do. Get it from GOG.com!

• Click here to get Torchlight for FREE @ GOG.com now

On GOG.com, this game normally retails for $14.99, but you get it for FREE!

First off, this game is totally free. No gimmicks, you just sign up for GOG.com and then download this game for free. No scam. The game is Torchlight, which is a dungeon crawling action RPG in the same vein as Diablo or Diablo 2. In fact, Max Schaefer and Erich Schaefer, the co-designers of Diablo and Diablo 2, worked on this game.

I love the art in it, and it has sense of humor. You can choose your player from a Destroyer, a Vanquisher or an Alchemist and they are all wonderfully stereotypical. For your “pet” you can choose a dog (which is a wolf), a cat (Lynx or some similar wild cat) or a ferret (which is just a ferret…) and the default name is Spot. It’s awesome. The game has been consistently reviewed in the 80% to 90% range and won best in show RPG at E3 2009.

I had never heard of GOG.com until this sale, and I’m very glad I did. They sell DRM-Free video games and I loves me anything DRM free!

What could be better than getting one of the BEST games of 2012, based on a great show, for 50% off! Get it from GreenMan Gaming!

• Click here to get Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead @ GreenManGaming.com now!

The game was $24.99, but you save $12.50 and will only have to pay $12.49. It’s a PC download, so there is no shipping.

I’ve spoken about The Walking Dead from Telltale Games before and it’s as awesome now as it was then, and as it was when it first came out. This is a real adventure game from a company that knows the big adventure inside and out. This game was so good that it won over 80 Game of the Year awards in 2012.

So why was it so good? Because it was the only game in recent memory that really played on your emotions. People say that music and movies can make you cry, but Video Games rarely do. It’s easy, nowadays, to make people laugh or even be scared, but getting someone to cry isn’t an easy thing to do.

Other art forms can do it with some regularity but it’s harder with video games because you have to balance the emotional story with a good game. If you take it too far on the emotional side of things, you end up with a movie wrapped around a bad video game. If you just want to make a great video game that doesn’t have any real emotional weight to it you get, well, most good video games. Telltale has masterfully crafted both of these things together into this great game, and you can get it right now for super cheap!

You, the consumer, voted and told EA that you wanted Battlefield 3 for only $5 so you got it!

•  Get Battlefield 3 @ Origin.com now

Battlefield 4 is coming out in a few months and you had better be ready. The pros are gonna be out in force for this one and you don’t wanna get pwnd like a n00b right out of the gate, right? The best way to do this is pick up Battlefield 3. BOOM! HEADSHOT!

I’ve noticed a lot of game companies doing this as of late. A few months before a big new game comes out they release the previous game for super cheap. It’s a great tactic because it gives you a little time to get in to it so when the new one comes out, you immediately need to go pick it up. Now in this case EA let people vote on which game they wanted to see on sale so it may not have been a pre-emptive sale but you never know, right?

Regardless of the reason, you’re getting a $19.99 game for $5! You’re saving $15. There is, of course, no shipping as this is a digital download PC game,

What upcoming sequel game are you excited for? Do you have the previous game in the series? If you don’t, would you grab it for $5 or just wait for the new one? Let me know in the comments below!

Ever feel like you should be rewarded for buying video games? Target does too, so that’s exactly what they’re doing!

• Click here to find a location near you @ Target.ca now

I don’t often include stuff from Target for two reasons. You can’t shop online in Canada, and there is no Target store where I live. A couple of years ago, Target bought a bunch of leases from Zellers and started putting in their own stores, but all of the ones near me are still under construction.

For all the people who do have a Target nearby, you should definitely wander in and check out this deal. When you purchase a Nintendo 3DS XL you will get a $50 gift card. You can use it for a game to go with your new console or an accessory. You can even use it for a completely non-video game related purchase, but that isn’t nearly as fun! The handheld costs $199.99.

There is no shipping as it is in store only.

Where can you go to get dressed AND have fun for FREE when you get a processor? Only Canada Computers and BargainMoose!

• Click here to get your new Intel processor @ CanadaComputers.com now

The deal here is that if you buy a Core i5 or Core i7 processor, you get a FREE copy of GRID 2 for PC and a FREE GRID 2 T-Shirt! Awesome deal!

I don’t follow racing games at all, but I haven’t really been able to not follow this one. I see it everywhere. It seems every retailer wants to put this game somewhere right up front. I don’t know if it’s just a PR blitz, but if it is and the Codemasters PR shills are reading this, I’d gladly take your money for writing this great article about your wonderful game!

I actually can’t say this is wonderful just because I don’t play racing games. They’re just not my thing. If racing is your thing, though, you should definitely check it out. You don’t see a lot of high profile racing games anymore. The last super hyped racing game I remember was Gran Turismo 5 and that was almost three years ago. GRID 2 has an 82% rating on Metacritic.

Shipping with Canada Computers is based on where you live and what you buy.

An oldie but a goodie for 50% off. Get your copy of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty from Blizzard today!

• Click here to buy Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty @ Blizzard.com right now!

So this game is indeed an oldie, but very good. Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty is the first in a three part Starcraft 2 series. Not too long ago the second installment, Heart of the Swarm was released and Starcraft nerds rejoiced. But if you want to rejoice too, you need to get the original, Wings of Liberty.

Starcraft is like Mario and Final Fantasy in that it hasn’t lost it’s value. It doesn’t matter how long a Mario or Final Fantasy game has been out, they will cost a lot. The reason is simple: they’re awesome. SquareEnix is still selling the original Final Fantasy on mobile platforms for $15. Starcraft 2 has the same thing going on. It’s three years later and the original price is still $39.99. You’re saving $20 so you only have to pay $19.99.

You can get the physical copy if you want but you should be getting the digital PC Download. You get it right away and there are no shipping costs. Please note that prices are in USD.

If you aren’t down with the Humble Bundle, you aren’t down with awesome.

•  Click here to pick up a bunch of great games @ HumbleBundle.com right now
  

BOOM! Another Humble Bundle! These guys. Oh, these guys! They are rocking the bundles out. This is the eighth Humble Indie Bundle. If you aren’t familiar with the Humble Bundle I’ll explain. This specific bundle has five games (with soundtracks) available for whatever you want to pay. That’s right. Pay $1 or $1000. Whatever you want. The kicker here is that if you pay more than the average, you get six more games and five more soundtracks! Right now the average is about $5.75. So for under $6 you can get eleven games and ten soundtracks. The average will change as people buy, of course. These are digital downloads, DRM-Free and Cross-Platform.

• Little Inferno
• Awesomenauts + Exclusive Chicken Skin
• Capsized
• Thomas was Alone
• Dear Esther

If you pay over the average you get the following:

• Hotline Miami
• Proteus
• Tiny and Big in Grandpa’s Leftovers
• Intrusion 2
• English Country Tune
• Oil Rush
• Five More Soundtracks

The real beauty with the Humble Bundle is that you choose where the money goes to. You can put all your money to the developers, the charities or the people who put on the Humble Bundle. But it goes even deeper. Do you hate the EFF but love Child’s Play? Give all your money to them! Want to give 75% of your money to the people who make Dear Esther and 25% to the Oil Rush people, go for it! Give whatever you want to whoever you want!

Want a high-end gaming mouse to make your 1337 far more 1337 that won’t make your wallet far more empty? Check out the 10 M from Memory Express Canada!

•  Click here to get your new gaming mouse @ MemoryExpress.com right now

First things first, I wanna be straight with you fine folks. The discount here is $30 and a $30 mail-in rebate. You’re going to have to pay $69.99 out of the gate but you’ll get a cheque for $30 later. Regardless, this adds up to a $60 discount off of a $99.99 mouse so you’ll only end up paying $39.99 overall. I actually kind of dig mail-in rebates because you usually forget about them and are surprised when you get some money in the mail later. At least I do.

AnandTech had this to say about the Thermnaltake Level 10 M:

The Thermaltake Level 10 M is capable of doing quite a bit that a $29 IntelliMouse can’t, as it turns out. Seven fully-configurable buttons, a configurable polling rate, and sensitivity that peaks at a healthy 8200dpi are all good reasons for someone to think twice about just sticking with a cheap mouse. The aluminum frame also feels incredibly sturdy, and the soft touch plastic with ventilation does feel good in the palm.

In the end they concluded that the mouse was just too expensive but this deal takes care of that issue. Shipping is $4.99.

Gaming on your cellphone not enough? Buy Nintendo’s handheld system and get a $40 gift card from Toys R Us Canada.

• Click here to shop 3DS consoles @ ToysRUs.ca now

And while you’re at it:

• Click here to check out the 3DS games @ ToysRUs.ca now

The beauty of this sale is that the 3DS games are all around $40, so you can use your gift card to get a game. There are tons of great games available so you should be able to find something good for your money. As far as the consoles go, they range from $169.99 to $199.99 depending on if you get the original 3DS or the bigger 3DS XL. The 3DS might be a little easier for kids while the 3DS XL is parent sized.

While I do most of my portable gaming on my phone now, it’s not because I don’t like the portable consoles. It’s more that I don’t have the time to play any more video games. I already have a huge backlog of PC and PS3 games to play so adding more would just be a waste. But that being said there are a lot of people who have the opposite thing going on. They are tired of all the little puzzle games and short games on their phone and want something more. There is a whole new category of gamers out there now who might not want to get a PS3 or xBox because it’d be wasted on them. A handheld is a perfect step up for those looking to kick their gaming live in to gear.

Shipping is free (up to a $20 value) when you spend $100 or more (before taxes).

SquareEnix has been involved in some awesome games, and a lot of them are on sale over the weekend at GreenMan Gaming!

• Click here to get some SquareEnix awesome @ GreenManGaming.com now

Normally, I’d list some of the games on sale, but this sale is a bit different. The games are going on and off sale, throughout the weekend and Monday as well, since the 27th is a holiday in the U.S. and the U.K. (Memorial Day and Spring Bank Holiday, respectively).

I’ve been loving SquareEnix since they were two separate companies, Square and Enix. Back then, basically all I knew was that I adored Square’s Final Fantasy series and Mario RPG. I had dabbled in some of Enix’ games like Dragon Quest, Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean, but Final Fantasy was my world as far as Square went. Their library of awesome games is so much bigger than just Final Fantasy and Mario RPG, though. They’ve been involved in games like kingdom Hearts, Deus Ex, Kane & Lynch, Tomb Raider and Legacy of Kain. Some of those are technically Eidos games, but Eidos is now SquareEnix Europe, so the companies’ catalogs have merged.

These are PC downloads, so no shipping!

There are a lot of cool PS3 bundles out there, but none are as good and as cheap as the one EB Games is offering! Get a PS3, four games, a year of Playstation Plus and a controller for $250!

• Click here to pick up your awesome PS3 bundle @ EBGames.ca

There really are a ton of PS3 bundles. You can get a PS3 bundled with Uncharted 3, or with Move, or with some other game or perk. The console is usually a standard black PS3 slim with a 320GB hard drive or smaller, and usually runs $300 or more.

The deal EB has on is a Crystal White PS3 Slim with four games, a controller and a year of Playstation Plus. The four games are: Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, Little Big Planet 2 and Infamous 2. Those are all great games (especially Infamous 2) but wait-a-minute! That’s only three games, Shawn! What about the fourth! The fourth game is Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale! All you have to do is add it to your cart with the bundle, and the discount will be added at checkout.

You get all this for only $250! That’s $50 off the normal cost of the bundle without All-Stars. Adding in All-Stars for FREE gets you another $40 in value, making the grand total that you save $90. That’s not to mention the value of Playstation Plus for a year and the other three games.

Shipping is FREE!
