Dont get out your credit card yet on your favorite casual game site, I got the info you need to save money.
So there you are , sitting at your desk, you have your eye on the favorite casual game, maybe 20 bucks a pop at the least. Expensive isn't it? But you say to yourself, ah what the heck, its worth it.
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.
Ever see the Jewel Case section of your favorite store which carries PC CD-ROM Software? The game you were about to plunk a twenty on just might be in this isle for half the cost. One good example is Galactic Civilizations Complete from Stardock. I have seen these pop up at Circuit City for $9.99 and its worth every penny. And to boot, you have a physical CD-ROM in your possession should something ever go wrong.
Recently Casual Game Developer and Publisher Big Fish Games, are selling prepaid Game Cards at popular stores such as Rite Aid and Target. The card costs $19.99 and allows you to download 2 games for the price of one. This is certainly a good deal and the games you download can be re-downloaded at any time should your hard drive fail.
Thats $10 a game! And theres some titles that one cannot pass up by all means.
The truth behind these jewel case games is that because of their prices , many skeptical and savvy shoppers will think they are Shareware and not the full version often passing them up. There is no need to be afraid when shopping in this aisle anymore. The days of Shareware discs being sold in stores are over, and now all you see in the store are full version software.
The bargains are out there, you just need to hunt for them!
