Now is the time to buy Crusader Kings II. Amazon has a bombshell bundle: the “Crusader Kings Pack.” For only $9.99 you get the original Crusader Kings, Crusader Kings II, and all 21 of the Crusader Kings II DLC packs, including the newest, “The Republic.” If you’ve thought about it, or want to expand the base game with new DLC, now is time to act… on the cheap.
If you’re not enthused about Crusader Kings but are still a strategy gamer, there’s another bundle that’ll pique your interest: the “Paradox Seas Bundle.” This bundle has nine popular Paradox game for only $9.99 including Victoria II, Ship Simulator Extremes, Commander: Conquest of the Americas, and Pirates of Black Cove.
If you’re into first-person zombie slaying now is a great time to pick up a copy of Dead Island. Green Man Gaming has the standard edition 66% off at only five bucks and the GOTY edition for $6.79. Steam and elsewhere you’ll find Dead Island for the full $14.99 list price.

Today we found the PS Vita 3G version for only $225 on eBay – sold by Sony. This marks the lowest price we’ve seen on the 3G version, but more impressively, the PS Vita with WiFi only is $250 at the lowest, and Sony’s selling the 3G model for $45 more than this on their own site.
