Great, nothing worth buying. Also I own everything on sale from GoG, Impulse sales aren't interesting. I only have to worry about the Steam weekend deal.

It's definitely a good week for the wallet. The Hinterlands was interesting from Impulse, but not at that price.

I believe Mushroom Wars for PS3 is also half off, $5. That had a fun demo, so I'll probably grab it.

Most of the TikGames/Creat Studios games are on sale, it started last week and goes through next week:
Cuboid Sale (now $4.99, original price $9.99)
Digger HD Sale (now $4.99, original price $9.99)
Magic Orbz Sale (now $4.99, original price $9.99)
Mahjong Tales: Ancient Wisdom Sale (now $4.99, original price $9.99)
Mushroom Wars Sale (now $4.99, original price $9.99)
Smash Cars Sale (now $7.49, original price $14.99)
Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos Sale (now $4.99, original price $9.99)

Cuboid and Magic Orbz would be the standouts, IMO.

If only I actually liked Patapon :).

Nothing I want to get but I think there's some good stuff there.

Downloading the free add-on for JC2, that is about it. The Incredibles costume pack just doesn't grab me, despite being a fan of the movie.

Very nice to see the price drops on bigger titles. The other two consoles could take a hint at that (where it seems games just remain the same price, forever, long after the market has moved on).

The Flower OST went on sale for $2.99 on PSN this week as well. I recommend it.

Gotta get that Killzone 2 DLC...

The DLC maps are really good, but a lot of the community doesn't have them really it seems, a majority of games you find are only the original maps. However, if you start up your own custom game and call it 'NEW MAPS' or something, the others will find there way to you in very short order.

I made a run at the top 1% trophy (lost power for 2 days and only ended up in the top 2% :mad:) in December and played the DLC maps almost exclusively, they're a lot of fun.

Good to know, and hopefully this sale increases the amount of people playing the new maps. I know the guys on GAF always bitch about nobody having them. I'll have to add you and polish up my rusty KZ2 skills.

Hmm. I may be coaxed into getting back into Killzone 2 MP.
