RPG Deals 3/20 – 3/26: Amazon makes it Ys-y

Russ gives another rundown of the best deals on RPGs. A bit shorter than most weeks, but still some noteworthy bargains.

$20 a pop for those Ys games is a deal of a deal, very nice. The $30 special editions are great for collectors who've missed out or had a crappy Christmas.

knifefight4788d ago

I see this kind of stuff all the time, special editions still readily available and way cheap, months after the release. Kinda takes the urgency out of it, which is good for us lower-middle-class that can't usually buy brand new I guess.

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson311d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper311d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam311d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist310d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.
