Just in time for Christmas, Aspyr has launched a holiday sale on the Mac App Store.  Shoppers can enjoy discounts of 33% or more on all Aspyr games (with the exception of the just-released Doom 3).  The sale is going on all the way through the New Year, which is great for those who might be receiving gift cards to the iTunes and Mac App Stores in their stockings.  Head on over the Mac App Store now to pick out your favorite title, or just check below to go straight to the product page.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are fast approaching which means great deals on great Mac games are just around the corner!  The GameAgent Store has some treats lined up for all of our newsletter subscribers and social media fans that you won’t want to miss.

First, we’ll be sending out a newsletter early Friday, November 25, with a hot deal on a great new Mac game!  The deal will only last for a few hours on Friday, and being subscribed to our newsletter will help ensure you get the jump you need to get to the deal before it expires.  Not subscribed yet?  Head over to this Aspyr.com news post for easy registration!  Once our Black Friday deal expires, we’ll leave the rest of the shopping weekend to the big boy retailers.

However, once Cyber Monday arrives, be prepared for a torrent of Mac game deals!  We’ll be bringing back our super popular FLASHSALES on Monday, November 28, meaning a ton of great games at absurd prices!  Of course, the catch is that the games will be only be discounted for a very short time, so you’ll need to act fast if you want to take advantage.  Expect each FLASHSALE to launch on the hour, every hour, starting at 10am CST; each FLASHSALE in turn will last no more than one hour.

Worried about missing out on a great deal?  The trick is to follow us on Facebook and Twitter!  We’ll be posting each FLASHSALE to our Facebook and Twitter feeds as they go live, and you won’t be able to find the deals anywhere else!  Head over to your preferred social network (or both!) and start following GameAgent today!
