Shack PSA: Weekend PC Deals and Discounts, Including Complete Far Cry Series at $15
by Chris Faylor, Feb 05, 2010 12:20pm PSTWith the weekend near, you know the usual discounts on PC digital downloads can't be too far behind. Let's check in with the usual suspects and see what they've got on offer.
From Far Cry to BioShock 2, bundles seem to be the name of the game this weekend. Missed out on Far Cry and Far Cry 2? Playing catch-up will cost you just $14.99. Red Faction? All three can be had for $22.50--that's just $7.50 per explosive action game.
And with BioShock 2 arriving Tuesday February 9, now's your last chance to take advantage of the pre-order deals and discounts. Sure, the Steam four pack may look costly at $134.97, but that's only $33.74 per copy--over 30% off the game's $49.99 MSRP--not to mention the four free copies of the original BioShock that come with it.

also, planet alcatraz is actually not horrible. it has the distinction of having the worst voice acting and localization of any game ive ever played. yes, really. i think all the voice acting is done by one guy. for every character. not that it matters, because what he is saying makes no fucking sense... id like to think its an example of things "lost in translation" but honestly, i suspect the story would be incomprehensible even to native speakers. HOWEVER, that said, the gameplay is actually reasonably entertaining. its sort of like if fallout and baldurs gate got drunk, banged, and had a severely retarded 3d love-child.
ok you know, now that i think about it more... i guess planet alcatraz is actually a pretty shitty game. i dont know why i like it... but somehow, i do. besides, how can you not like a game with dialog like: "if the universe has an ass, it is this planet. if that ass has a hole, it is this town." i ask you?
