Steam’s weekend sale on all things Ubisoft is particularly awesome today, folks. If you’re a fan who’s been waiting to pick up Revelations, or you’re entirely new to the Assassin’s Creed series – there has never been a better price of entry than today! Keep in mind, however, that these deals are today only and will change at 12pm Pacific time on Sunday, May 20th.

So, just how good are the prices today? Let’s take a look:

  • Assassin’s Creed Pack (Includes everything below) - $44.99 (65% off!)
  • Assassin’s Creed: Director’s Cut – $4.99

Let me close out by saying this: these games have implemented some of the best multiplayer I have ever played. Incredibly strategic, and nothing is more fun that shanking your mates!

Error 37! Diablo 3 gets MetaCritic bombed

Published on May 17, 2012 by in Featured, News

Above you see a picture of the MetaCritic page for Diablo 3 as of this writing. With over 2600 user review, it is sitting at an ironic 3.7 out of 10. Why is 3.7 ironic? Error 37 is the error that has plagued the Diablo 3 launch, preventing players from logging in.

Due to Blizzard’s “always-on” DRM requirement of logging into Battle.net in order to play, even as a single-player game, players were finding that they couldn’t even PLAY the game due to overloaded servers. Needless to say, gamers did what they do best and took to MetaCritic to make their suffering known. User “ahirumaiwaifu” sums it up quite nicely:

“When I pay $80 for a game I expect to at least be able to get past the log in screen. Even when you can log in, severs are so full that you get lag even in private single player games. I knew the game would have bad DRM but this is an absolute joke.”

On a light-hearted note, here is a wonderfully funny YouTube video that I came across in regards to this. Give it a watch and a like, this guy is hilarious.

Steam Midweek Madness x2!

Published on May 8, 2012 by in News

In the immortal words of Samuel L. Jackson, “Hold on to your butts.”

To me, the impact of 50% or more off fantastic games every week hasn’t lost a single bit of the magic from the launch of such deals. Every week, I anxiously wait, hitting refresh around noon to see just what awesome game is going to get a stupid discount for three days. This week, we get a double dose of discount awesome as Steam has a massive one-two punch lined up for their Midweek Madness deals:

Portal 2 (now with a new “Perpetual Testing Initiative” free update) for 66% off. Total Price: $6.79USD

Alan Wake for 50% off. Total Price: $14.99USD

Does anyone still need to grab Portal 2? If so, do it now. It’s amazing – and I’d be happy to feature it in a future episode of Co-Op’d with anyone!

I think that I may be in for Alan Wake. I’ve heard amazing things about it, and I’m looking to add a few more PC thrillers to my list for future scare-streaming.

What looks good to you, GIers? Let us know if you pick anything up!

Needs Food Badly: Facebook-Saved-My-Dinner Pasta

Published on May 4, 2012 by in Featured, News

[Editor's Note: Please welcome Rose as a new contributor to Gaming Invaded with her excellent mind for easy cooking, the perfect supplement to any gamer!]

I’ve been gluten free for a couple of months now and I find it is becoming more of a challenge to cook well for myself at home.

For instance, tonight I made my son fresh cut up veggies, fruits, and an Aldi’s version of the Lunchable (crackers, cheese, round meat.)

I was going to do the “big kid” version of this with GF crackers, a wedge of spreadable Laughing Cow cheese, and some turkey lunch meat, but someone had eaten what was left of the 1lb family pack of deli turkey.

So yeah I pretty much ended up eating chips with dip. Oh and fruit.

Needless to say, 5 minutes later I was hungry. So, I ate a bowl of Cinnamon Chex.

Took 20 minutes for me to get hungry this time.

 

Fine! I need to eat some protein. Geez, body, I get it I get it.

Yanno and now I was really craving something delicious. I was browsing Facebook  and noted some mighty tasty looking food porn on a friend’s page. I requested the recipe and she posted it. I only had a couple matching items so I just made my own version.

Try this one on for size…

It’s Time for TERA

Published on May 3, 2012 by in Featured, News

TERA has been officially out in the NA region for two days now. Twitch.tv tells me that they’ve already got a lot of level-capped characters ready to take on the endgame. I would totally be there with them… if it weren’t for the little tiny fact that the EU region got hosed and the game doesn’t come out until TODAY. Ahem, sorry about that one. Not bitter at all. Our servers have been down all day in prep for launch. I just want to PLAY MORE!

The servers are supposed to officially come up around 6am CDT (whatever that is in EU time…. do the math, people, I’m lazy!) and I know a fair few members of Gaming Invaded took the chance to head to bed early in preparation to get up and rock the game ASAP while some of us burn the midnight oil to write! (Sidenote: totally an accident if I accidentally go Outlaw and PK you guys! <3)

Just one last note for everyone, here’s the server and guild information:

Server: Samael (EN-PvP)
Guild: <Gaming Invaded>

We’re actively recruiting to build up a strong dungeon/raid group as well as PvP squad. If you have TERA-EU and want to join us, simply use the wicked-cool in-game guild application!

Enjoy the beautiful world of TERA!
