It’s that time once more! Time to check out the absolute best gaming deals from the past week-or-so. This time around, we’ve got everything from Humble Bundles & Steam Links to MacBooks and Amazon vouchers. Let’s get right to it, shall we?
As usual, we’ve got deals that’ll work in the UK, deals that’ll work in the US and some deals that will work in both the UK and US, as well as presumably many other places. Let’s get started.
UK & US Deals
Let’s kick things off with a nice batch of classics available for dirt cheap. It’s Square Enix week over at GOG.com which, for once, doesn’t just mean Tomb Raider and Hitman discounts. This week, you can pick up copies of Deus Ex, Thief and Legacy of Kain games, all under £2 / $2. Most excitingly of all, though, is that you can pick up working copies of Gex and Omikron: The Nomad Soul for the PC at a dirt cheap prices.
Right now and for the next couple of weeks, you’ll be able to throw down just about $10 / £8 and get a whole stack of games, thanks to the latest Jumbo Bundle from Humble. The Humble Jumbo Bundle 9, to be exact. Here’s what is on offer:
Pay $1 or more
- The Flame in the Flood
- Infested Planet
- Human: Fall Flat
Pay more than the average
- Verdun
- Samorost 3
- Warhammer: End Times Vermintide
- More to come
Pay $10 or more
- American Truck Simulator
To make the offer that much more jumbo, Humble promises more games will be added around this time next week and if you put your money down now, you’ll still get the added games later on.

If you’ve somehow missed the very many other times that the Steam Link and Steam Controller have found themselves discounted over the past year, you’ve got one more chance to pick them up at their extra low prices. Right now, you can grab the Steam Link for £11.99 in the UK and $15 in the US, while the Steam Controller will run you £27.99 in the UK and $34.99 in the States.

You can currently order an Oculus Rift and Touch bundle for £399 in the UK or $399 in the US and, questionable currency conversion aside, that’s the lowest price this bundle has been in either of these areas. It’s also worth pointing out that this is the pack comprised of the Oculus Touch controllers as well as the headset itself. The Touch controllers alone are around £150 / $170 when purchased separately.
All in all, for your £399 / $399, you’ll be getting:
- Oculus Rift VR headset
- Oculus Touch controller pair
- Lucky’s Tale
- Robo Recall
- Dead & Buried
- Quill (Beta)
- Medium
- Toy Box
That’s not half bad, for the price. You can currently grab this bundle at Amazon UK and US respectively.

In case you missed the release of this one, Songbringer is out now on PC (as well as a PS4 and Xbox One) and is, at least in my opinion, a title that you should probably check out. Echoes of Zelda abound in an overly pixelly world, here. It’s out now and Humble is offering the game up for £15.49 / $17.99 at present.

While you’re over there at Humble, you may also want to wander over to the Horror Sale that’s currently up for grabs. You can get up to 85% off titles like Outlast 2, Observer, Stories Untold, Oxenfree, Soma, Crawl, Slender: The Arrival, and more. For goodness sake, please play Stories Untold, by the way. It’s fantastic.

If you’ve made it this far into 2017 without a copy of Overwatch, odds are good it’s not a game you’re ever going to buy. If you feel the need to defy that particular statement, you can pick up the Game of the Year Edition of the game on PS4 for £30 and Xbox One for £26 right now. Be aware that the PS4 version has been going in and out of stock, but is still available to order in the ‘new’ section, when you select Amazon’s offer.

It’s a very, very rare thing when you can find decent discounts on Apple products, but here we are. Currys PC World is offering up its remaining stock of the 2016 MacBook Pro with £450 off right now. That brings the price down to £1299 from a whopping £1749, while stock lasts. In case you’re wondering, this particular version has an i5 processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage and comes in that extra nice Space Grey colour scheme.

Possibly the most dramatically named Xbox One controller ever made, the ‘Deliverer of Truth’ pad from the ‘Legendary Collection’ is a wired pad that features a 10 foot detachable cable, a set of programmable buttons, extra responsive thumbsticks and a nice gun-metal design with a soft finish. It’s also reduced to £25 at GAME, down from £40.

I’m not entirely sure whether my opinion that Shovel Knight is one of the most charming indie games of the last five years is controversial or not, but I’ve written it on the internet now, so I suppose it must be. Either way, Shovel Knight’s art style is celebrated wonderfully in the Official Design Works hardcover book, available at Amazon US right now for the discounted price of $25.33.

Suda51, a game creator who should by many accounts (including mine) be celebrated for his utter insanity in his genius, is responsible for titles like No More Heroes and Killer7. One of his less known games, however, is The Silver Case – a game which recently received a remaster and re-release on PS4. That particular version is available for under $15 right now and if you happen to enjoy Suda51’s particular brand of weird and happen to be an Amazon Prime member, this is a game you should own.
