The UbiShop has some games mislabeled and you can benefit form their mistake:
Assassin's Creed 1 & 2 Bundle for $1
http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubina/en_US/pd/productID.187686200
Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands for $1
http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubina/en_US/pd/ThemeID.8605600/productID.194104700
Splinter Cell Conviction was up for $1 for awhile, but that seems to have disappeared already.

Damn, they're fixing them. I'd pay $1 for those games, considering they have UbiDRM.

PoSSeSSeDCoW: Damn, they're fixing them.

Yup, they started fixing them shortly after I posted about them. Which is why I edited out my post.
Word of warning though, AC bundle was never available. All people got was a text file.
I did manage to snag the new POP and Splinter Cell Conviction for approx. 0.99 each though =)

bansama: Yes, I paid $1 for a txt file that says "This is your game download". GAH!
I did get the PoP though, but I haven't downloaded the full thing, so we'll see what happens when I try to do that.
So Ubisoft pulled a fast one on me with Assassin's Creed and I pulled a fast one on them with Prince of Persia. Fair enough.

taczillabr: Thanks man, will watch 'em. It's better that it doesn't include every bit, so I won't spoil all of it. :p
And now I got an excuse to buy Dark Athena then, even if it has limited activations.

Yeah, that's why I didn't include part 2. That said, only the end sequence really contains any spoilers. Even then it doesn't really make much sense without the gameplay before it. You really do need the game to put the cut scenes into context. They don't make much sense unto themselves.
You just missed a sale on Dark Athena at GG. Unless you're willing to wait for its appearance on GOG, I'd recommend you get it there as they're the only ones that are willing to get you extra Tages activations.

taczillabr: But no... they decided to put cheap enemies in and make it a generic shooter with good looking buildings. And isn't that nurse from the Painkiller games? :p
Vivisector is from the makers of Cryostasis so might be a good game too, although it has beasts/monsters. I've never played El Matador, but it looks like a cheap version of Just Cause.

Agreed. It's as if half the team was a damn sight more competent than the other half. It's still a very playable game though, even if the level design is carrying it.
Vivisector is nothing at all like Cryostasis. Nothing. Cryostasis is amazing in many ways. But with Vivisector there's nothing that stands out at all. It's hard to believe it's the same team behind them both.

As far as recall, Riddick is one of the Tages games that actually gives you back your activations over a 30 day period. Giving back one every 30 days up to the maximum of 3 (or was it 5?) activations.

That's the scheme used in Arkham Asylum on Steam, I believe. So it's certainly possible. Especially considering Tages are utterly opposed to the idea of refunding activations themselves.

IIRC, that's the only configuration Tages supports anymore. Activations only refunded once every 30 days, no other way.

GetGames really need to work on their communication as I got an e-mail about their sale today a week after it actually went up. Still if you missed it there are some Sega bargains Like AvP and Napoleon for �12.99 and Alpha Protocol for �14.99 here
