GOG now has Ultima 9 and they have (http://www.gog.com/en/promo/ultima_series_promo/) Ultimas 1-9 and both Underworld games for just under $18 until this time next week.

I'd be curious to see how Ultima IX holds up in terms of the tech - while the story and writing were often painful to those who'd been playing the series for years, it was still pretty cool to be walking around Britannia in the game, at least until it became clear just how shrunk the world was. Now, after the gigantic worlds of, say, Morrowind or Skyrim, is the 3D version of Britannia anything other than a historical curiosity?

I just bought Borderlands 2 and Assassin's Creed 3 over at Green Man Gaming using this voucher code: GMG25-1BW0K-K1A3G which gives 25% off. Get in there quick, not sure how long it is going to last.

You can use it for anything, I just got those 2 as I wanted them, plus the voucher stacks with the 10% off of Assassin's Creed 3.

(http://hermitgames.com/) Hermit Games currently have a $5 bundle of procedural shmup (http://hermitgames.com/leavehome.php) Leave Home (some glowing reviews, there), bullet-hell shmup (http://hermitgames.com/frenze.php) Fren-ze (not my thing), and their brand new weirdly-named but totally excellent 3D reinvention of the classic Snake, (http://hermitgames.com/qrthphyl.php) qrth-phyl.

RPS have talked about the more recent two:
(http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/tag/hermit-games/)

Or otherwise, qrth-phyl is only $3 on its own, which I reckon is also a bargain.

There are also a couple of free games, plus the soundtrack for Leave Home is a freebie too.

RPS also (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/tag/to-the-moon/) wrote about it a bunch.

I was genetically engineered to be the perfect audience for To the Moon, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed. It's definitely worth buying if you're into games that are heavy on storytelling and light on gameplay, especially at this reduced rate, but you may want to adjust your expectations in order not to end up faintly disappointed as I was.
