Who’s the most patriotic digital distributor? With Memorial Day weekend upon us, let’s take a look at the latest crop of online game deals, and see who’s got the best sale to help gamers honor our veterans, and which digital distributors are run terrorist-loving freedom-haters.
With Monday off to honor our veterans, the best way to show our support is by calling in sick to work tomorrow and killing the hell out of virtual Nazis, Commies, and Terrorists for 96 hours straight. So chug some energy drinks and get ready for this extra long weekend with these online game sales.
Not only are there a bunch of games on sale today, there’s one digital distributor that’s giving away a free game if you act fast. All of the major online game stores are having some sort of promotion at the moment, and many of them are one-day-only, so smash your virtual piggy banks and take a look at these deals.
Almost three years after the collapse of Flagship Studios, T3 Entertainment has announced that Hellgate: London will be returning to PC gamers as a free to play title.

The internet assures me that the world will end tomorrow, which means that we only have a few hours left to enjoy video games. Sure, logic would tell us to go out and buy the most expensive games we can find, since Judgement Day is at hand, and we’ll be too busy roasting in Hellfire to worry about our credit card bills, but let’s just go out on a limb and assume that fiscal responsibility might still be important next week, so we’ll try to find some good games deals. For starters, we have Direct2Drive.com’s Potato Sack- I mean “Indie Sack”.
