    Here!

    ***Activates on Steam***

    Wish I hadn't already preordered now!

    EDIT: Sorry it's actually $45 with cash back for Americans, my bad!

    Nice find. Steam also has a similar sale by the way. They give Bioshock, some TF2 items and X-Com, though they get unlocked based on the amount of people who preorder (currently it has almost reached the Bioshock tier). And it's £30.

    I've just discovered it isn't $30 (worked out that number by converting as per exchange rate and deducting 20% VAT) but infact $45 for Americans. But I can't change the title of the thread :(

    Well if you click the link you'll see it stands for 'greenman gaming'. It sells games both digital and physical for PC, Xbox and Playstation. They almost always are cheaper than buying from Steam/Origin/Uplay directly and still give out keys to activate games on those clients :)

    Will wait, they seem to really trying to get people to pre-order, almost makes it seem they know the game is crud. Trying to get their sales before the reviews reveal how bad it is.

    I'll wait. Can't trust these studios to do a proper job anymore.

    I'll only pre-order if it's a great deal. If you want two of the other games they're offering, and if it was still $45 it wouldn't be a bad bargain. But I own all the games they're giving away and it's not $45 any more. I hope it's not a real stinker. The previous gameplay videos looked great, but that doesn't mean anything.

    It sure doesn't. So many games have fantastic gameplay videos preview, but the final copy, looks nothing like it.

    I think the steam offering is better, provided we reach their 3 tier unlock.
