Latest bargains from Direct to Drive:
No $5 wonders but there are some excellent deals:
Grand Theft Auto IV. Well it’s been out a year and I’m still impressed with it. There’s been copies such as Driver: Parallel Lines ( a very cheap copy) which you can get from Steam for £5.99), or a better clone called Saints Row 2, ($29.95 at the moment, though several weeks ago you could have got it for $5), which is actually quite good, but no where near as good as GTA IV. Anyway, it’s been dropped in price to £14.99. ($29.95). If you are able to purchase from the UK site it will work out cheaper. I’ve managed to buy from the US site. There’s two buttons to the top right of the screen a US and a UK flag. Click on these to gain access to the one you want to visit. They do have different deals, so it’ s worth visiting both.
Cities XL limited edition has been dropped (for a limited period only) to £20.95 or $29.95 …(from £34.95 or $49.95). I nearly pre-ordered this game as I like city building games and this one looks hot, but as the main emphasis is on online play and paid online at that I decided not to go for this baby. It does have a single player element, but I didn’t think the then price was worth it. There’s a monthly fee to play the online version of the game. The limited edition version gives you some extra maps and buildings. I think I’ll wait till it drops more. :) The US deal is a better one especially if you purchase from the UK. You’ll end up saving a little.
Trine has been reduced from $29.95 to $19.95. This is a brilliant platform game with three interchangeable characters. (Costs slightly more on Steam but you get any updates automatically).
Defence Grid has been reduced to $9.99 from $19.99. This is one of the best tower defence games I’ve ever played. Gorgeous graphics and some very challenging game play. The Steam edition
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood has been reduced from $49.99 to “29.99. This is much better than the original game, with gorgeous graphics and great game play. I must return to the game soon. I’ve been distracted with all the brilliant games that have been released since I got my copy earlier this summer.
You’ll find some of the above deals via the following page, where there are even more deals.

You can download demos for most of these games . Just Google them for download links (Steam also have demos for Defense Grid and Trine). I’m trying to shave some time off my posts as I’m spending far too much time doing this and less time playing my games, so I've not posted any videos of game play or images. (I've had to set up six new photobucket accounts just to be able to post all the images - partly because of the bandwidth usage, they aren't overly generous with bandwidth when using the free accounts {which is hardly surprising}, lol).
