If you haven't played Billy's games, you've really missed something. They keep getting better and better. Go get them!

nonax · 12-18-2010, 02:01 AM

As most shops DotEmu is also having Christmas sales. Some deals are good like the ones on the Broken Sword games and the Atlantis pack. Other games have better deals on GOG.
So watch out what to buy where

(but isn't that a luxe situation compared to a few years ago?)

jameanderson · 12-18-2010, 01:15 PM

These kinds of are just for Christmas but should be for whole year.

millenia · 12-19-2010, 01:07 AM

Those who missed Jolly Rover on indie bundle on Steam. On upcoming holiday sales there will be another adventure indie bundle with at least Jolly Rover and Samorost2, so keep your eyes open.

Stuart · 12-20-2010, 10:11 AM

The Christmas sale has begun on Steam with over 1000 titles discounted. I haven't seen them all yet but some examples include:

25% off Tungsuka, 33% off AlternativA, 25% off Lost Horizon, 50% off Broken Sword: SotT SE and Broken Sword II, 50% off Alter Ego, 75% off Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper, 75% off Culpa Innata, 75% off Nancy Drew: The Haunted Carousel, and well... countless more.

strandiam · 12-20-2010, 11:45 AM

Thanks for the heads up! I always buy a bunch of games on super sale to have something for a rainy day throughout the year.

Red_Lizard2 · 12-20-2010, 12:52 PM

Steam Holiday Sales have started, 3 of the Broken Sword games are 50% off (including the directors cut of Shadow of the Templars). Sherlock Holmes and Nancy Drew games are also on sale, among others.

***fov*** · 12-20-2010, 02:00 PM

The Blackwell indie adventures (The Blackwell Legacy, Blackwell Unbound, and The Blackwell Convergence) are on sale through January 1 -- all three games for $9.99.

Stuart · 12-20-2010, 03:03 PM

Me too

. Just splashed out more than I should have considering I'm quite broke but some were too cheap to pass on! I did set a limit though and passed on the Agatha Christie 3-pack I really wanted.

Chronicles of Mystery - The Scorpio Ritual 3.99 GBP
Secret Files: Tunguska 5.99 GBP
The Sherlock Holmes Collection 11.24 GBP
Mata Hari 3.99 GBP
Nancy Drew: Warnings at Waverly 3.74 GBP
Dracula Origin (EU) 3.74 GBP
Nikopol: Secrets of the Immortals 3.49 GBP
Jack Keane 1.74 GBP
Nancy Drew: Haunted Carousel 2.74 GBP

Total 40.66 GBP

millenia · 12-20-2010, 04:16 PM

Yeah nice Steam Sale.

AlternativA 13,39€
Emerald City Confidential and Winter Voices Prologue/Episode 1 2,24€
Alter Ego 14,99€

and more ofc. The Indie Adventure bundle is available too. I will definitely grab those 2euro games. Tempted by Alternativa also but have to hope the sale stays for a while, don't have too much money now.

Stuart · 12-20-2010, 04:59 PM

The sale lasts until January 3rd. I've bought some of the cheaper adventure games rather than the 10+ Euro/Pound ones as I'm on a budget, plus I'm not sure if AlternativA and Alter Ego are worth those prices based on mixed reviews? There are some very good deals on adventure games right now though, check my Steam thread and many of them are 50%+ off.

imajica · 12-20-2010, 07:09 PM

Steam sale is great - wish they had a greater range of adventure games though.

picked up:

Sherlock Holmes vs jack the ripper $4.99
Culpa Innata - $2.49
Indie Fright Pack - $4.99

Stuart · 12-20-2010, 07:54 PM

I was going to buy Holmes vs. Jack individually then saw the Holmes collection with 6 games dirt cheap so got that instead. Can't wait to play then, but Tunguska first...

Culpa Innata I buckled on buying as some people say the puzzles, etc., are really tedious and that the game controls poorly.

Yeah I will be focusing on the cheaper ones too, will grab that 'Then There Were None' from Steam since I didn't get it yet.

But I think Alter Ego and AlternativA are worth that price considering they are new games. Ofc you could wait a year or more and hope to find them under 10€ and even cheaper on sales. Alter Ego I already played and while it was too short and the ending was poor (these things are connected to each other) it had a lot of goodness in it. I think I will give AlternativA the chance too, just not sure if it's now. I have so much to play that I can afford to wait for the price to drop.

Dwagginz · 12-21-2010, 02:22 AM

I got the two Monkey Island games (Secret and LeChuck's Revenge), and it was about £5.50, i.e. half-price. As download's the only place to get them in their remastered/special forms, I think it's a great time to get them.

phredster · 12-21-2010, 04:47 AM

Which Sherlock Holmes game would you guys recommend if i never played one?

(which is the best i guess i am asking)

Idrisguitar · 12-21-2010, 06:23 AM

awakened or jack the ripper. those seem to be the ones mentioned in a positive light mostly from what i have seen on these forums.

*Pinchpenny* · 12-21-2010, 03:15 PM

A Vampyre Story is 50% off on the Games for Windows Live store as a holiday discount. Available until the 27th of December.
