Dear Aunt, lets set so double the killer delete select all.

Even if it's not, unlocking the DLC + Alice is just a matter of setting one thing from false to true in an ini.

I'm guessing the Alice will be Origin, not Steam?

Hey guys,

Update to the EC list (these will be added in January working on dates and price points):

EA Classics Bundle (Madden '08 and NHL 09)

Always happy to see new deals but what is this? Has EA ever tried to package their old sports games and call them "classics"? Can you even play those online anymore?

I've been interested in Syndicate, but thought I heard middling reviews last year - care to give it a one-sentence review? This would probably be my candidate for my last $5 coupon anyway, but would like to know why you loved it.

Edit: Found CTS's review http://www.somethingawful.com/d/video-game-article/assassins-creed-predictions.php

Let me guess, Syndicate won't be $5 again this time? Glad I did save at least one or two coupons after using two for Hotline Miami gifts for friends.

By the way, is that Alice Complete just Madness Returns with the DLC, or the previously Origin pre-order version that had the HD version of the original American McGee's Alice plus Madness Returns+DLC?

Syndicate will be very close to $5 after coupon.

Alice does include the original Alice and the DLC price will be under $10 after coupon.

Great coop mode, the combat feels really great, the setting is interesting (even if the storyline is a bit terrible.)

Is Amazon going to be getting more Bioshock keys anytime soon? I was hoping to get the "Desert to Sea" bundle before the price jumps back up, but if not I'll just use the $5 coupon on Spec Ops alone.

Your call would be incorrect. We're still finalizing price but it will most definitely be less than $12.49

No idea, but they're the final PC versions of their respective series. I bought that very bundle for $5 a few months ago from Amazon and it's a pretty drat good value really; after those, EA Sports abandoned PC for good as far as hockey and football are concerned. NHL 09 on PC is a pretty barebones game and virtually the same as, I dunno, NHL 07, but it's still a pretty decent hockey game albeit looking pretty aged and not supporting widescreen modes, while Madden NFL 08 is very good on PC and still even looks great.

NHL 09's key should natively be accepted by Origin, but it didn't for me for some reason. However, by chatting with Origin's online customer support I was able to get both NHL and Madden added onto my Origin account, so definitely do that if you want them there.

Weirdly, the bloom is absent from the coop mode. But yeah if they fixed the bloom for singleplayer, Syndicate would've been the most photo-realistic game I've played (haven't played Crysis though).

Is The Secret World supposed to be up to $22.49 right now? It's my own fault if I missed the ~$17 price yesterday or whenever it was, I put off buying it for no reason at all, but I sorta thought all of the Editor's Choice prices were for through January.

No biggie if I missed it though.

Any good mouse-based or (preferably) non-Civilization turn-based strategies on the sale right now? I may or may not have broken my wrist just now so I'm seeing some one-handed gaming in my future.

What I'm really trying to ask is if Woodcutter Simulator needs two hands because I still haven't downloaded my copy yet.
