Is Tabula Rasa Even Worth A Dollar?

by Keane Ng on November 7, 2008

Richard Garriott, aka Lord/General British, aka spaceman extraordinaire, has done a lot of great things in his life, exiting the Earth’s orbit notwithstanding. The Ultima games are landmark Western RPGs, and if it weren’t for Ultima Online you wouldn’t be playing World of Warcraft today.

Tabula Rasa, though, doesn’t really stand as much of a testament to the fellow. That’s not just my opinion - it’s Amazon.com’s as well. Previously listed as $4.99, it now costs a paltry $0.96. This is no database error - it’s been at that price for a few days now.

I didn’t play TR, but I heard it was pretty dang awful. It presumably still comes with 30 days of free subsriciption - but is it still even worth it when you’re paying more for shipping than you are the game itself? Sound off if you’ve played this thing, and let us know if it’s worth 100 of our precious pennies.

Gaming Deals of the Week: Closing Circuit City Game Discounts

by Rangebar Merani on November 5, 2008

Earlier this week it was announced that 155 Circuit City stores were being shut down due to credit concerns and financial problems from the electronics retailer.

Well, according to Kotaku, the 155 closing stores are placing discount tags on pretty much everything, including video games. Here are the discounts for today:

  • Systems (360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP) and their respective games - 5% off
  • All game accessories (controllers, batteries, cases, Xbox Live memberships, etc) - 10% off
  • “Social” games (aka Rockband and Guitar Hero) - 10% off
  • PC Games - 10% off
  • Strategy guides and cheat books - 20% off

Okay the discounts aren’t all that, but they could drop more as the closing dates draw near. If you’re lucky, one of the closing stores is near you and you could save a few bucks on some games. Hit the jump for the full list of closing Circuit City stores. Read more…
