Our friends at Green Man Gaming (disclosure: Green Man Gaming are a sponsor of PCGamesN – there’s more about what that means at the bottom of this post) are this month’s best Santa: they’re detonating a voucher bomb every day this week on a brilliant selection of classic and/or excellent PC games.
That includes daily voucher discounts on big-hitters like Guild Wars 2, Skyrim, Far Cry 3, Football Manager 2013 and XCOM: Enemy Unknown, sitting alongside discounts on games if you pre-order some of next year’s biggest.
Read on for the details.
Before we begin: a quick word about how Green Man Gaming work. They’re an indie digital retailer that sell both digital downloads and games that unlock on other retail clients. So: they’ll sell you games for their Capsule client, but also Steam codes, Origin codes and unlock codes for MMO games. If you’re a rabid bargain hunter – then you’ll want to keep an eye on them.
So: to the deals!

Important information: all deals are subject to availability, and while stocks last. So, you know. Don’t hang about.
Right. Let’s have a brief moment to consider what we’ve done so far.
Take a deep breath. And relax. The armageddon continues.
In the preorder offer, customers who buy any of the following games will receive a one time use voucher that will give them 35% off their next purchase. Which is, frankly, a bit ridiculous. The games on offer are:
Bioshock: Infinite (unlocks on Steam, but not available in the UK)
SimCity Limited Edition (£49.99, unlocks on Origin)
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 (£29, unlocks on Steam)
Company of Heroes 2 (£39.99, unlocks on Steam)
Crysis 3 (£39.99 for download version, £34.99 for boxed product, unlocks on Origin)
Dead Space 3 (£39.99, unlocks on Origin)
Aliens: Colonial Marines (£39.99, unlocks on Steam)
Dead Island: Riptide (£34.99, unlocks on Steam)
South Park: The Stick of Truth (£34.99, unlocks on Steam)
Metro: Last Light (£34.99, unlocks on Steam)
Tomb Raider (£26.99, unlocks on Steam)
Important terms: this voucher can only be used on select PC Download games. This voucher cannot be used in conjunction with another promotional offer (e.g. voucher, cashback) and will expire 21 days after receipt.
This isn’t the end. There is more, always more. There are always more vouchers. Always more discounts. Like a film villain coming back from the apparent dead for one last drunken assault on your wallet.
Here it comes.
BAM.
25% off PC digital games on Green Man Gaming.
Use this voucher: GMG25-CZPYL-D5MQ6 when you check out.
And with that, final burst it appears to…
OH NO WAIT.
Apparently they’ve started selling PS3s. WHAT MADNESS IS THIS.
The nice man from corporate land says that UK customers can buy a PS3 with Uncharted 3 and Gran Turismo 5 for £197.99.
There is now no money left in gaming. The voucher apocalypse is over. All that remains is a giant mushroom cloud over your wallet.
And, the inevitable disclaimer.
