As usual, there are plenty of attractive gaming deals going on this weekend, including a Steam slashing of Ubisoft titles.

Assassin's Creed has been reduced to $10 on the download service, while Splinter Cell and Splinter Cell Double Agent can be had for $5 apiece. Capcom's Flock! has also been marked down by half to $7.50, and Unreal Tournament 3 free weekend has seen that game marked down to $10.

Meanwhile, superhero strategy classics Freedom Force and Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich have both been added to Steam's catalog. The fan favorites were designed by Irrational, also known as BioShock developer 2K Boston. The games can be picked up for $4.50 apiece, or $6.74 for the two-pack.

Boxed deals at GoGamer include Left 4 Dead for $30, Fallout 3 for $32, Clive Barker's Jericho for $10, and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic for a mere $3.

What was Dark Messiah of Many M's like? All I remember from the demo was that it was a slide-show.

Man, I want Assasin's Creed, but it says it requires a dual core!!!? Is that a real requirement to play or will it run but with poor performance?
