Katamari Forever, PS3 - £17.99 delivered

Video games to not buy any time soon

I've just spent far too long scouring D2D's games catalogue for games which will possibly be in their £5 sale over the next few weeks. Essentially, games in the categories listed here which are currently more than £5.

My advice: If you are thinking about getting any of these games any time soon, wait to see if they are in the D2D sale, as you will be able to get them for a fiver. I thought I'd do my bit to prevent you buying a game now when it is possibly going to be much cheaper in the near future.

Your guess is a good as mine as to which games exactly will be on offer. I'll be sure to post whenever the offers do get posted.

Garry's Mod, PC - £2.99

Garry's Mod, PC - £2.99 delivered

Requires you to already own a Source engine game on steam from the following list:
Left 4 Dead
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Episode 1
Half-Life 2: Episode 2
Half-life 2: Deathmatch
Team Fortress 2
Counter-Strike Source
Portal
Day of Defeat Source

Although how anyone would have a steam account and not own at least one of those is beyond me.

Direct2Drive £5 game sale: Week 2

The next round of games are up on D2D, and it's another pretty good selection.

Sadly, USA folks get Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, we don't. We do get Serious Sam Gold and Manhunt though....

Special tip for this week: Saints Row 2 serials can be registered on Steam if you want to avoid using D2D. Also - If you recruit a sympathetic yank, you can just get them to buy it for £3, and give you the serial for Steam, saving you £2, and bypassing 'the man'.
