3D dot has been that price for awhile now...they just, for whatever reason, won't ship it internationally.

Good price on the Star Wars CE. Don't really need it though. I still haven't played the first game, despite owning it for 2 years now, lol.

Hmmmm, as much a Star Wars fan as I am, I don't think I'll plump for the Force Unleashed 2. And reading the reviews for the collectors edition doesn't make me think that's such a great deal, even for $26.

and, as Yahtzee said, its still horribly padded. I didn't even know it was possible to both have a game too short and padded too much...

Like everyone else said, it's incredibly short. It felt like an expansion. Like what the stupid crap DLC they gave us before should have been.
It's truly an abomination at any price above $10. $15 is reaching.
Basically, you're paying money for the devs to piss on your face and slap you while you wonder why.

@FreakSheet Who cares what Yahtzee thinks? Don't you have your own opinion?

Picked up Force Unleashed 2 and Sonic Colors. I'd been wanting both of them for a while, and getting the 2 for less than $50? Hell yeah.

I never got past the fire dragon boss in 3d dot heros.. Such a long horrible fight.

And because of that it cringes me they created that trophy where you have to finish the game without dying once.

I had trouble with that boss...but after upgrading the sword to the max, and getting a Fire shield. I not only beat it, but booked it and got the beat without getting hit trophies.
If you powerup the sword, you only need to stay where you are and thrust. all the while holding the R1 to block, if it jumps you then just move slowly out of the way, the shield will null any shockwave damage.
Again, to win, just hold your joystick and keep thrusting.

Its not hard at all to do that actually. You can manually save at any point. If you do die, load last save and you're done.

Nice prices. Almost as good as buying used. Almost. That's kinda my thing lately, I don't care who owned it previously.

I'd like to pick up Sonic Colors for that price, but thanks to Sony, I'm still waiting for my new credit card to arrive.

i was about to say... i just picked up sonic colors for 19.99 from new egg, and when i read the headline i was like "oh no," hoping it wouldnt be like 14.99 or something.

I think $6.39 for America's Test Kitchen is the lowest I've ever seen Amazon.com themselves (as opposed to a Marketplace seller) offer a video game for sale. They must have one huge stockpile.

If my PS3 blu ray drive weren't dead, I'd love to pick up 3D Dot. Alas.

I hope more people pick up Sonic Colors with this sale, it's an excellent (though difficult at times) platformer.

I really wanted to like 3D Dot Game Hero more than I did. I never even finished it. Does it get better after the first or second dungeon, or is it pretty much the same thing through the whole game?
