CyberMonday: kinda meh, but hey! Evil Genius, Monkey Island – $2.50!

So, I’ve been checking the feeds for deals for about a week now, and, while there have been a couple of outstanding buys (particularly for console boxes), there’s also been a lot of UNNECESSARY SCREAMING ABOUT SAVING FIVE DOLLARS OFF OF RETAIL! ACT NOW! ONLY 15 LEFT!

That said, I found this today, and it gave me hope:

It’s the last day of Steam’s ‘Five Day Long One-Day Only Sale‘, and they’re going out with Evil Genius (78 at GameRankings), and The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition (85 at GameRankings), both for $2.49.

Now there’s some gaming value.

Evil Genius is a World Domination Simulation. You play the Bond villain.

Here’s the trailer:

The Secret of Monkey Island is a humorous adventure game, and a big cult hit that spawned a small franchise. You play a guy who wants to be a pirate.

Here’s an example of play:

Both are definitely worth the cost of a cup of coffee…
