It appears Microsoft will be having a major sale of dozens of titles, ranging from classics like Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origin to newer releases like Borderlands 2 and Bioshock: Infinite.
This sale was announced by Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb and reported on by Gamespot.
It is unclear how much each game will be discounted, and if the price cuts will be uniform across all games or if each game will have its own percent off. After all, older games would most likely face larger price discounts than newer games, because newer games like Bioshock: Infinite (which was released in March) still could be selling well so soon after release. It is also unclear if DLC will be a part of this sale, or the just the game's will be on sale and not the extras that go along with them.
The full list of 32 games that will be on sale is as follows: Assassin's Creed III, Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, Bulletstorm, Command and Conquer Red Alert 3, Crysis, Crysis 3, Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga, Dragon Age Origins, Far Cry 3, Far Cry Instincts Predator, Forza Horizon, Gears of War: Judgement, Hasbro Family Game Night 3, Hitman Absolution, Kinect Sports 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes, Lego Lord of the Rings, Mass Effect, Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, Monopoly Streets, Perfect Dark Zero, Prey, Rockstar Table Tennis, The Orange Box, Tomb Raider, Witcher 2, WWE 13, XCOM: Enemy Unknown.
It is unclear what is motivating Microsoft to have this massive sale, but that should not stop gamers from reaping the rewards available picking some truly great games. While there are some vanilla and average games on the list, gamers should flock to the hits on the list and take advantage of the sale to pick up the games before the Xbox One becomes available in November.
