It's That Time Again- What Should I Buy With My Gift Card? - General Discussion

#1 Posted by CoheedFavorHouse (670 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Alright- I didn't really wanna do this thread. I tried hijacking another thread, but it didn't go so well.

Regardless, I got a $50 gift card to Amazon this morning. I already bought Bioshock 2 and Resonance of Fate, but I still have about 20$ left.

Right now, I'm looking at:

Nier
Enslaved
Singularity
Darksiders

But, I'm completely open to any idea in that price range. I like all genres of games except sports and hunting, mostly. I own a lot of the "big" AAA titles, but I'm mainly looking for middle-class titles I missed. Suggestions, abound!

How about Bayonetta? A couple of days ago it was $10 on amazon but dk the price now. If you don't have it you should definitely check it out.

I would highly recommend Enslaved or Darksiders, both 2 of my favorites i played this year.

@ChristianCastillo: Caught it during the sale

Sort of wish i had the gift card at the time...but I wasn't passing up 10$

Buy this and this. With P+P it'll be $50 exact.

Enslaved and Darksiders are both really great. You can't go wrong getting either of those.

@ChristianCastillo:

I second this.

I got a gift card from Debenhams :/

You should definitly get enslaved but maybe look at some other games to fill the gap from there

What amazon games give you money back for buying the game? That'd be handy to know.

Weird, I got a $50 gift card to Amazon from my aunt. I used it to pre-order Dead Space 2. It's going to be shipped here release day, came with a copy of Ignition, and cost me $8. If I had to chose from that list, though, it'd be darksiders every time. That game is awesome.

#14 Posted by CoheedFavorHouse (670 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

enslaved and darksiders appear to be the finalists...

#15 Posted by CoheedFavorHouse (670 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

@A_Cute_Squirtle: i dont think any, in my price range. theres a whole group of preorders that'll give you store credit though

Both of these are comparably solid purchases. Both are hours of fun. Both are well designed. Both have great value. And both will leave you a little hurt after you finish.
