I definitely think it’s worth $10, but you might want to wait for the lower price anyway. It seems that this sale has a lot more repeats than previous sales. Am I remembering things right? Edit: also, Terraria is on flash sale right now. I think it’s ridiculously fun and have sunk many, many hours into it. And is Worms: revolution worth it as a puzzle game? I’ve never played any of the worms games. ---

> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > I definitely think it’s worth $10, but you might want to wait for the lower price anyway. I’m confused. Do you mean it will go back down in price? I thought every game had a big mark-down, then settled at a slightly lower price. ---

OK, guys - I need a verdict. Is Assassin’s Creed III worth it? AC2 is one of my top 5 games of all time (particularly Brotherhood), but I’ve heard some troubling things about 3. ---

As I said, there are a ton of repeats in this sale. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it goes back on megasale. If it doesn’t, though, you can still pick it up on the last day for ten bucks, I think. ---

Ah. Well, I’ll just have to decide between that and Scribblenauts when the time comes. ---

> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > And is Worms: revolution worth it as a puzzle game? I’ve never played any of the worms games. I haven’t played that one, but for the ones I have, I would be hard pressed to call them puzzle games. They’re artillery-style, in the vein of [Scorched Earth](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scorched_Earth_%28video_game%29) or the popular assignment for computer programming classes, where you type in an angle and velocity to fire a shell. It got decent reviews, and I thought the series was pretty fun. The 3D one(s) were so-so, but this looks like 2.5D so you’re good to go. ---

Buy worms if you can get people to play with. It’s much less fun against the computer because the whole point of the game is the ridiculous weaponry. ---

If it doesn’t, though, you can still pick it up on the last day for ten bucks, I think. I’m hoping Bastion repeats. My modem went out at the exact wrong time, and I had to get a new one, so I missed it during the downtime. I take it the sale ends at noon CDT tomorrow? I would have thought it would end at 11:59 PM, but the megasale is only lasting until noon, and that is the last thing they do, right?
