cyber-monday-2009 posts

We've heard from all of the other major PC game download sites for their Cyber Monday 2009 price cuts and now it's time to see what the Impulse download store has in mind for gamers today. There's quite a few PC games and even some non-gaming applications that can be had for a few bucks off their normal Impulse price.

Among the games on sale today are Elven Legacy for just $14.99 (a 50 percent savings) and Warlords Battlecry 3 for $9.99. There's also a selection of games that can be downloaded and purchase for just $1.99 each including Bullet Candy, The Political Machine 2008, The Corporate Machine and Lightweight Ninja.

GameStop is not known for their digital download offerings but for today's Cyber Monday 2009 promotion the gaming retailer is offering 50 percent off of 50 downloadable PC game titles. While the game's prices appear to be normal at first when you put them in the site's online checkout page they go down to the promised 50 percent amount.

Some of the more recent games that are a part of this promotion include Fallen Earth, Section 8, and Sacred 2, all of which can be purchased for $24.99 each. Other games on sale include Assassin's Creed for $9.99 and Port Royale 2 for a mere $2.59.

When the folks that run Direct2Drive posted up their Thanksgiving-themed PC game download sale, they held out on one game that would be revealed today to "celebrate" Cyber Monday 2009. Now that game has been revealed and will be sold at 75 percent off its normal price for the next 12 hours.

And just what is that mystery game? As it turns out it happens to be the original Mass Effect. BioWare's first game in their sci-fi RPG series can be yours for a mere $5 if you act quickly. Five bucks is a pretty tiny amount to pay for one of the best games in the last few years.

Today is the totally made up "Cyber Monday" holiday were supposedly folks at work do a ton of shopping online after the normal Thanksgiving weekend. The PC game download site GamersGate has wasted no time in launching their Cyber Monday 2009 price cuts this morning.

Among the games on sale for today online at the site are recently released games like Tropico 3 for $29.95, Section 8 for $24.95, Hearts of Iron 3 for $11.98 and Risen for $29.95. There are also a ton of Electronic Arts-published games on sale (way to many to be listed here) for 20 percent off their normal prices on GamersGate.

Technically Steam's final day of PC game price cut sales has nothing to do with Cyber Monday but if it makes you feel any better you can call it Steam's Cyber Monday 2009 sales event if you want to. For the next 23 hours Steam has priced a bunch of titles, from major publisher hits to small indie games, at well below their regular Steam prices.

This is also the last day you can take atvanage of the LucasArts and THQ game bundle packs. You can still grab a ton of games all at once for just $49.99 for each bundle.
