    If you enjoy card games, The Solitaire Conspiracy was actually quite fun, and it's dirt cheap right now. It isn't a long completion and it's vaguely cheesy in its presentation, but it's a really interesting set of mechanics and was very enjoyable.

    One of the first sales of Blair Witch in a while.

    Bit disappointed, to be honest. Had my eye on it. But, I also want to get Dragon Quest XI. May have to get both.
    For what it's worth, I really enjoyed it, and would definitely consider it worth $7.50. It absolutely nails the creepy forest atmosphere. If you've ever been camping in a forest, and gotten a little scared of the unknown as the sun begins to set, you'll probably enjoy it.

    Xbox 360 Games on sale... Advent Rising..... and then quoted from the game page: "This game can't be played on Xbox 360." So.... why list it as on sale for the Xbox 360 if it's not actually for the Xbox 360? LoL
    TA just groups Xbox Original and Xbox 360 games together.
    Advent Rising is a Xbox Original that was never added to the Xbox 360 Compatibility Program.

    That quoted line, is just a Disclaimer in-case some customer asks why they can't play it on their Xbox 360, since they stopped adding Backward Compatible games to the Xbox 360.
    I didn't know it was an Xbox Original, I'd never heard of that one before. Oddly the only 2 games I knew that were not BC for 360 still were Area 51 & Invisible War haha. I think if the game doesn't actually even run on the 360 either way they shouldn't be grouped with 360 games though -_- That's very deceiving. Not long ago a friend bought a game on sale for 360 that was BC but they couldn't download it and it turns out that the version that was listed under the 360 sale games wasn't even for 360 either so his money got wasted :( That's bad business practice if you ask me and should be fixed and labelled properly whether it's Microsoft or the way TA picks them up on sale -_-

    How come the Artifex Mundi games / bundles never go on sale anymore? I’ve been waiting on a number of the newer ones, but with no such luck.
    Last year there was suddenly a month or two of weekly offers, hoping we'll see that again soon.

    Quite a few hits on my wish list this week including Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark and the Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale combo. Will definitely get Fell Seal and ponder the rest.
    In the UK you can often get PS:T+IWD physically for the same price, might be worth checking your online stores if you're not fully digital. Amazing pair of games, however if you've never played an Infinity Engine game before Baldur's Gate might be a better starting point.

    I’m interested in the new-ish Pathfinder game, but the expensive all 0GS achievement DLC turns my stomach.

    I can confirm this as I picked a bunch of them up last year. If I recall, it was about this time of year.

    Possibly another big week.

    Stay strong folks & tighten the belt.

    With a week left on the Japanese games discount, May is coming in as a lion to eat our gaming budgets.

    Thanks, this was good advice. I always check to see if there is a physical version before buying digital but your comment jumpstarted the process, and I managed to pick up a copy for the collection at a good price.
