Hello gamers,

We’ve received a big response to our competition posted yesterday, which will allow a couple of lucky people to win a Space Marine Chainsword and War’s Chaoseater! Make sure to get your entry in before it’s too late.  While we’re talking about game give-aways, make sure you’re following us on Twitter and Facebook, as we’re giving games away on a daily basis!

Today’s big hitting deals are from THQ:

Saints Row The Third is 60% off - Take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control.

Space Marine is 60% off - Losing this planet is not an option, but a darker and far more evil threat is lurking large in the shadows of this world.

GMG Trivia: Some users have managed to get so many user referrals that they’ll probably never need to buy another game with cash again (Seriously, we’re talking hundreds of dollars worth of store credit!) For more information on referrals you can click here.

Hello gamers,

Following on from yesterday’s post, as well as using this to announce deals we’ll be including little bits of trivia about Green Man Gaming at the bottom.  We think it’s important that we develop a stronger relationship with our users out there in the ether(net cables), that includes you! There will probably be a few bits about members of the team, as well as points in our history that we highlight as being important or amusing.

There’s an Iceberg floating in our punchbowl, today. Our big daily deals are titles from Iceberg Interactive:

Nuclear Dawn is 75% off - Nuclear Dawn is the first game to offer a full FPS and RTS experience, within a single gameplay model, without crippling or diluting either side of the game.

Zeno Clash is 80% off - Experience a deep storyline set in a fantastic world. Play the role of Ghat, a man banished by his own brothers and forced to begin a desperate journey past the forbidden desert and to the end of the world.

GMG Trivia: Due to an operator error, Batman: Arkham City was entered into our system as Batham Arkham City. Once committed you can’t change it either! This prompted teasing of the guilty party, and led to other fun names such as “Badman & Robby,” the streetwise superheroes who won’t be dissed. A personal favourite.

Hello Green Man Gamers,

It’s a new month and to catch you up with some recent additions to the site, we’ve got a very short list with some good offers and a catch-up on what’s new.

South Park: The Game is now available on the store – and we may well be the first out there to get the game available to pre-purchase.

Sleeping Dogs, the anticipated title from Square Enix, is available to pre-purchase now. If you act now you can even get a 10% discount!

Men of War: Condemned Heroes is now live on the site with a 10% discount.  This title tells the story of one of the Soviet penal batallions in WW2.

And if you’re looking for something on a different level? Want to support indies? Here are a number of smaller games we’ve added this past week:

Chester - Chester is a 2D platformer with over 10 unlockable characters, RPG elements & leveling up system, loads of unlockables, around 50 levels, & 8 “styles” that allow the player to change the look of the game at will.

Waveform - Navigate the beauty and hazards of the solar system while riding on a wave of light in this innovative action-puzzle game.

Deadly 30 - Survive 30 nights of horror and zombie menace in Deadly 30! Rescue and recruit companions, upgrade your weaponry and fortify your position during safe daylight.

InMomentum – InMomentum is a minimalistic sci-fi platform racing game that challenges the players to think in both horizontal and vertical perspectives.
