There's definitely a few titles on the list worth grabbing. With Time Warner confirming the next Batman Arkham game is due out this year, it might not be a bad time to pick up Arkham Asylum and Arkham City — two quality games. There's also Dead Island whose sequel Dead Island: Riptide is releasing this year. And then there's BioShock which is also getting a new installment to the series very shortly. It's not just older titles, though. A few new titles such as Halo 4 and Resident Evil 6 appear on the list.
Each day, a different set of titles will be on sale, so be sure to follow @GameZoneOnline and @Matt_GZ for the latest updates. The Ultimate Game Sale only happens once a year, so you definitely don't want to miss this — especially since there seems to be so many quality titles discounted.
