Buckle up nerds, because this weekend has a bunch of great deals on downloadable games for you. Good Old Games has a sale on bundles of Activision adventure games. The Kings Quest, Police Quest and Space Quest franchises are being bundled, and then cut by 30%. You can get these bundles which contain 2-4 games each for $6.99, or you can get all seven bundles (20 games) for $48.93. This is an amazing deal if you never played the classic adventure titles.
Did you miss Steam’s one-day sale on Bioshock 2 the other day? Well, if you did, would you kindly head over to Direct2Drive.com? They’re selling it for 75% off today only (Thursday the 14th) at $4.95. While you’re over there, take a look at their casual sale on Zombie Shooter 2, which is going for three cents more than Bioshock 2. I’m sure Zombie Shooter 2 is a fine game, but your money is better spent on a madcap romp through Rapture.
To absolutely no one’s surprise, Capcom has announced yet another version of Super Street Fighter IV for PC and Consoles. The new one is called Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, although we probably won’t have to wait too long before it’s up to Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition Championship Turbo Hyper-fighting.
There are some yummy deals online, but you’ll have to act fast, as most of these are only up for one day. Steam is in the third day of their 2K Week, and today only (Wednesday the 13th), you can getBorderlands and any of it’s DLC for 75% off. Even if you already have the game, this is still a great chance to get all of the DLC packs for just $2.49 each. Or you can get the Game of The Year Edition for $7.50, which has all of the DLC anyway.
It seams that Steam has a malfunctioning AI core running amok, because some sort of malevolent GeneticLifeform and Disk Operating System has gone crazy and prematurely released special Portal 2 material for a couple of games made by Tripwire Interactive; Killing Floor and The Ball.
Do you own both Bioshock games? If not, would you kindly head over to SteamPowered.com and check out their one-day-only sale on both Bioshock games. You can get Bioshock 1, or 2 for only $4.99. If you have three pals, and want to spread a few copies of Bioshock 2 around, you can get a fourpack of it for $14.99. This is good for today (Tuesday the 12th) only. They’ll have a deal on a different game by 2K tomorrow and Thursday.
Got a few cents in your Paypal accout? Like video games too? Want to help out some worthy charitable causes, while grabbing some cheap games? Well, as of today, you can get a big pile of games for whatever you want to pay, thanks to the new incarnation of the Humble Bundle.
Well, it seems like the digital distributors decided that today is going to be shooter day, because just about all of them are trying to get you to buy some FPS game with a daily deal, or weekend sale. The Electronic Arts Store is selling 18 shooters, and DLC packs for half off. This is definitely something to check out if you haven’t grabbed all of DLC for Mass Effect, or your favorite Battlefield. Of note is the Bad Company 2 Digital Deluxe Edition. This includes the game and the Vietnam DLC at a higher price than buying them separately, but it does unlock many features. Something to consider for n00bz just jumping into the game. And if you never bothered buying the Pinnacle Station DLC for the first Mass Effect game, you might be tempted by it, now that it’s just three dollars.
Indie Games are all the rage these days. From the hardcore technical platforming of Super Meat Boy to the chaotic magical shenanigans of Magicka. Modern indie games developers have brought numerous hit games to gamers and it always interesting to learn about how and why they make the unique games they do. iFest is an independent games festival that is happening in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra this month.
The digital Distributors are limping into a pathetic weekend, if today’s deals are any indications. While the nice folks at Steam are still continuing the highly-recommended Potato Sack sale on indie games, their latest deal is no where near as impressive. You can get Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition for $9.99, which is 75% off its usual price, a decent price with the caveat that you have to like watching elves play football.
