It's the last week of Amazon's Buy One, Get One Free Sale on Game Downloads
and the focus is on shooter games.Just as in last week's sale, there seem to be some recurring themes. Interestingly enough, shooting chickens seems to be very popular (perhaps a reaction to the glut of farming titles previously), with Chicken Rush Deluxe
and Chicken Invaders 3 Christmas Edition
in the top two slots (zombies didn't even make the top five), as well as a couple of bargain priced titles (Chicken Invaders 3 (Revenge of the Yolk)
and Chicken Invaders 2
).Several of the titles look like repackaged Asteroid games (which you can play free online at many sites, including here), but with better graphics and more options/weapons. Then again, there is a reason this title was a classic and is still played today. One cute looking title for kids, that doesn't fit into the same themes as the others is Feelers
, where you are attempting to rescue your (ant?) colony's captured queen.Don't forget to go back and get your free title. You should have received an email with the link, but if not, check these links for the eligible titles:
Puzzle games
(4/5/09 to 4/11/09)Action games
(4/12/09 to 4/18/09)Simulation games
(4/19/09 to 4/25/09)BTW, I found a way that those you with the WII game system
can save even more. Amazon has a promotion running where if you buy any WII product (such as Samba De Amigo
($9.97) or today's game deal of We Ski
($14.98) and including the WII game console itself or a Wii Points Card
to use for online WII games), you get a $5 credit towards a game download. Mine took about two days to show up, so there should be time to get in an order and have the credit by the weekend. Spend those two days trying out the samples and you should know which ones you want to order when the credit shows up. That means you get two game downloads for a maximum of $4.99 ($1.99 if both are $6.99).
