Here's a question for everyone reading right now: if you were stranded on a deserted island for a year and could only bring three video games with you to help pass the time, which ones would you choose? I forgot to mention that the deserted island conveniently has a fully charged iPad on the beach and a higher-end gaming PC made out of coconuts and palm trees.Well as for me, I would probably bring a handful of great iOS games, a couple of my favorite Double Fine adventures, and maybe even a bundle of indie games or two as well. Okay, so I guess that was WAY more than three games. But at least it's a good thing that we're not stranded on a deserted island, and that all of these things and more are currently experiencing some awesome price cuts all across the internet!"And as always, if your deserted island happens to come with a really long extension cord or some extra-large data storage capacity, please let us know of any other gaming deals we may have missed this week down in the replies!

Every now and then I love to take a break from playing all of the hot new releases in gaming and spend some time playing through some of the old faithful titles from years ago. Whether I never got a chance to play them way back when, or whether I just wanted to revisit their magic for pure nostalgia's sake, there's no denying that the lovely world of free games and sales has been making this feat all the more obtainable each and every day.This week we've got quite a few older games making the sales roundup, but just because they're old that doesn't make them any less fan-flipping-tastic! In addition to those, we've also got a catalogue-wide sale of 2K Games titles going on over at the App Store, and another Android game bundle that's truly out of this world."Decisions, decisions. Do you have any idea which games your money is going to flock to this weekend? Know about any other great deals in gaming that we may have missed? As always, don't forget to let us know by leaving a comment down below!

We have a bit of a mixed bag of free games and sales this week, but what would life be without the ups and the downs? The biggest area where you should direct your bargain-hunting sensors is over at the Nordic Games catalogue, which is currently on sale across GOG.com and even on the Steam store for a few select titles.If you're still hungry for some price cuts after that, you can always make your way over to the Humble Bundle camp and pick up an excellent bundle for fans of roguelike games, as well as mosey on over to the iOS App Store for a short but sweet collection of fun games at next-to-nothing prices."So even though this week seemed a little bit on the sparse side, what greater incentive than to head out into the wilds of the internet and see if you can locate any other great deals that we may have missed! Be sure to add to this week's current list of free games and sales by heading down to the comments section below.

We have an interesting topic of debate this week instead of my usual "BAH! FREE GAMES! LOOK AT ALL THESE DEALS!" introductions that you've grown to know and love so well. And believe it or not, but this topic has to do with certain games actually going on sale a bit too soon after their initial release. Intrigued? Well read on!It's hard not to notice that three of the biggest game deals going on this weekend over at the App Store are for hot new mobile games like Joe Danger Infinity, Archangel, and Alpha 9, which were all barely released more than a week ago. And for some of these games, the price cuts are pretty dramatic (Archangel in particular went from $4.99 to $1.99 in a manner of days). So the question then becomes: will gamers keep buying Day One mobile releases if the pattern shows they could potentially get the game for far cheaper if they wait a few days?"I could certainly see how something like this could burn loyal gamers who support a developer by buying their new games at full price on the day they come out, so it's definitely an interesting subject to think about. So why don't we all mull that over for a bit while we purchase all of the hotly discounted games appearing in the list below, and don't forget to let us know if there are any others that we may have missed in the comments section!

Here's a question for all you deal hunters out there: how long does it usually take from the time you see a great new gaming sale pop up on the internet to the time you hit that enticing "purchase" button? Are you more of an impulse buyer who immediately picks up something the second you see it? Or are you a bit more cautious, and prefer to mull it over for a bit before deciding one way or another?Well I'll tell you what: I've always considered myself to fall under the latter category, as the type of person who would wait to the last possible second before scooping up the hottest new gaming deal. But that was until this week, that is, when so many amazing new deals and indie gaming bundles began cropping up online and forced me to blindly spend all of my money before I even had a second to realize what I was doing. But that's okay, because the new games I got made it so, so worth it."And so if there are any other deals going on this weekend that I may have missed due to my lightning-fast online purchases, be sure to point them out for everyone down in the replies!
