The Shiny Side

Today Amazon’s Gold Box deals will all be video games!!

Here is a look at all of their hints and what I think they’ll be (all times PDT):

6:00am - Engineer your adventure in the dead of space Dead Space 2

7:00am - The legend of your rise to power begins now Dragon Age 2

8:00am - The divine conflict between harmony and discord for your PSP Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy

10:00am - One of the greatest games of all time complete for your PSP Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection

12:00pm - I believe I can fly

2:00pm - Choose the Guardians or the Defiant Rift

4:00pm - Hit the gridiron with this perennial franchise Madden

6:00pm - Twist and turn through an action-packed Sonic experience

8:00pm - Experience the pageantry of College Football like never before NCAA Football

There you have it! My best guesses on the two I didn’t straight-out predict would probably be the new PilotWings 3DS game and then whatever the newest Sonic game is (probably with Kinect support).

Go forth, and buy cheaply!

Direct2Drive is turning 5 years old!

The digital game distribution website has decided to throw a big sale to commemorate the occasion. Every Monday for the next 5 4 weeks (I missed the first week, ohnoes!) they will update their sales page with new games that are only $5 each. I’m not talking just about crappy games no one wants, I’m talking Grade A titles here, people!

The schedule is as follows:

This week - ACTION
Week 3 - RPG/MMO Games
Week 4 - Indie Games
Week 5 - War Games

This week’s most notable titles (imho) include The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, BioShock, Sid Meier’s Pirates!, and Max Payne 2. If you have missed out on any of these games, $5 is well worth the price of admission.

What do you guys think? I’m interested to see what kind of MMO deals they have for us next week. If I can get another copy of WoW for $5, I might just have to get a second account. Heck, maybe they’ll do something crazy and offer something brand new like Champions or Aion for dirt cheap. Would you bite if they did?
