Ooh, thanks for the link. I couldn't find it earlier.

It's worth it for DA Ultimate at the minimum if you don't already have it. That's still going for around $25ish by itself, and was a good game. DA2 is a hit or miss: some like it, some don't. I haven't played it yet.

Personally I'm getting the combo since I don't have all the DLCs or the expansion for DAO nor do I have DA2, so I figure why not. It does require Origin, but my girlfriend thus far hasn't had any problems with it. I didn't even know she had it installed until I was looking over backups on her machine one day.
 
I already have DA, but not the expansion.

Should I buy the bundle at this price, even though I own DA. Is DA Awakening and DA2 worth the $12?
 
I would get it if I didn't own DA:O Ultimate already. So it's not worth it for me to pay that amount just to get DA2. And this is with the code.
 
If the Ultimate edition comes with discrete codes for each game/DLC rather than 1 universal bundle code, you guys should be able to mix and match installs with the games you already own. So if you have one of the games in the bundle already, you should be able to gift away the unused code.

Also, all of these EA games should be registerable on Origin, so you can choose to download from Amazon (really slow) or just download direct from Origin (fast as Steam for me). Linking a key to Origin will tie it to your Origin account forever though.

Yes and No, imo. DA Awakening officially implements a lot of the user-suggested/created fixes, like stamina pots or skill reset books, but none of the improvements are retroactive to the original Origin campaign, which is really frustrating because Origin is still the best of the series from a story-telling and design standpoint.

DA2 further improves on the polish of the game in some ways, but waters it down in others. Overall DA2 just feels really uninspired compared to DA:O and I ended up taking a break from it somewhere around the end of the 2nd act.

If you actually enjoy Awakenings and DA2 enough to finish them, then $6 each is certainly going to be worth it. I doubt they will drop much more than that.
 
Yep, in for DA bundle as well.

Is there a limitation on these promotional codes in terms of transferring over to another person?

I'd love to grab Crysis Maximum, but it installs securom. 🙁

Still holding out for Crysis 2 on the 21st for $4.99 (with the $5 promo code). Does anyone know if Crysis 2 installs securom as well?
 
Originally DS2 was supposed to be on sale today but I think they switched it up because they had already pricematched Steams Weekend Deal price last week. It was $5 or $0 after promo code.
 
Bulletstorm was ok; kind of short and fun for a whiel; but nothing I would play a second tme.The story is better in singularity; but the interaction is slightly better in bullestorm.

To be honest it ws forgettable but nothing horribly wrong with it and some reviewers really liked the game.

As a new and never played Crysis player.. should I get Crysis Maximum or Crysis 2?

If I already have Arkham Asylum, can I assume I already have Securom?
