El Shaddai $37 today on Amazon, Deus Ex $40 all week

by JC Fletcher on Sep 26th 2011 1:00PM

Amazon's Deal of the Day discounts El Shaddai, dropping the price to a one-day-only $36.99. If you have yet to see the most beautiful game this year, or the one in which a pre-fall devil has his most prominent role ever, well, consider yourself tempted.

The retailer has also updated its Deals of the Week, which are pretty interesting this time. Deus Ex is $39.99 on Xbox 360 or PS3 all week (the Augmented Edition is $50); Dungeon Siege 3 is $29.99 on Xbox 360 and PS3, and $19.99 on PC; and Dead Island is $45.99 on Xbox and PS3, and 36.99 on PC. Next time you're considering buying a new game, remember that it takes less than a month for it to go on sale at Amazon!

Thanks. I heard some good things about El Shaddai.

@kentuckyfried
I've heard its $36.99.

@DarkNightRJ

Yes, aside from that...lol.

@DarkNightRJ

Lol. +5

@DarkNightRJ Sadly, that is really just about the only good thing about the game right now. That, and the visual design.

Deus Ex was $35 for systems not too long ago on Amanzon.

@Jet Grind Radio Yup, that's when I picked it up.

@Jet Grind Radio

Yeah, I got it from Toys R Us for that much a couple of weeks ago(THANKS CAG!) Probably will be again, at some point.

I wanted Dues Ex, and I just got a 20$ credit for buying Gears 3. Hooray!

ooh £25 for deus ex, i like

El Shaddai is a beautiful game. at a lower price, i hope more people decide to experience it :)

@laser beams

I dunno if the price is low enough...

@laser beams I was disappointed by the demo. The graphics were great, but I thought the gameplay was pretty lacking. That'd be fine if it had a good story to help, but I hear it's pretty nonsensical.

@laser beams The demo really turned me off unfortunately, I may bite when it hits $30, but it will have to contend with Catherine most likely.

@geoff0011

I felt the same way. I liked the idea of the game, and the idea of the varied gameplay, but it just seemed too disjointed, going from 3rd person to side scrolling. Also, hated the jumping cuz I could never judge where I'd land and kept falling into holes/pits.

@FlashJS

i couldn't tell where the ground was. i saw a trailer for it and thought 'this looks amazing! i have to try it' but i wasn't really all that impressed. don't get me wrong, it looks like a beautiful game and a nice change of pace to most games coming out now but it just didn't 'grab' me. $37 is tempting but i think it needs to be lower than that for me to bite. i'll wait until it's like $20, then there is little risk if i don't like it.

This is constantly in my mind. Its why I feel like a huge sucker if I spend 60 dollars on week 1, knowing I can save up to 50 percent just by waiting a few months. I bet there will be an even bigger discount before the year is over.

@HighFiveJesus Agreed. Preach on.

@HighFiveJesus

It's a bit hard to resist the urge to go week 1 in order to accumulate enough time to stagger purchases. But well worth it once everything ends up being $40 right off the shelf.

@HighFiveJesus At the same time, I don't mind paying full price for a game I really want to support the devs. Few regrets either way.

@Epoque

Yeah, I'll only do a day-1 if it's something I NEED to play or something with multiplayer where I know I'll be left behind if I don't start right away. Otherwise, there's too many good deals out there on older stuff.

Guys, I hated the demo too; however, I received the full game as a gift, and I LOVE it. Even the chapter you play in the demo is way better.

I want to get this but I know it'll be $19 when the holidays come around

I picked up Deus Ex when it was $35 and I just can't get into it.

El Shaddai is the perfect example of why there needs to be tiered pricing in games. I'm not sure what criteria works best but there is no way a game like El Shaddai demands the same price tag as Battlefield 3, Arkham City, Assassin's Creed, etc. It actually hurts it's sales being at $60, although I bet the feeling is they will come across as being a poor game at a lower price.

Perhaps AAA titles (which refers to the games budget) should only be $60 with everything else being $40. Whatever. There just needs to be pricing tier in place to accommodate for different budget games. So when the next quirky game comes along more people will be willing to buy into it.

@ManisObsolete I agree especially if the game only offers a less than 10 hour campaign. The only games this year that I will gladly pay $60 bucks for are Rage, Battlefield, Uncharted 3 and Skyrim.

El Shaddai is a rental for me most likely. I don't see going back and replaying stages after I finish, but that's based on the demo - which I found to be underwhelming. A 20-ish hr game with no real replay value is almost always a rent for me.

Deus Excellent was worth every penny.

Yep, in no time they will be $20, the price point all video games should be. And then I'll pick them up.

Played the El Shaddai demo. It's an unexceptional 3D action game IMO, if you like God of War and falling off cliffs, you'll like it. The background art is amazing, but the sprites look crude by comparison, they're jaggy little eyesores running around in a beautiful moving work of art.

Quality games at reduced price?

Today is a good day.
