Shack PSA: Weekend PC Digital Distribution Deals and Discounts

PC game digital distributors aren't offering any blockbuster deals this weekend, as they often do, falling back mostly on re-runs of deals you've already seen, but there are a fair few opportunities to pick up some older games which you might not have been interested in at full price but discounted, you might be tempted to have a swing.

The Saboteur and Shadowrun weren't fondly received at full price but at these prices?

The selection of discounted oft-maligned games--I offer no comment on whether the judgements are just or not--include Shadowrun for 99¢ today only, Mercenaries 2: World in Flames for $3.99, Mirror's Edge for $6.78 and The Saboteur for $10.18.

If you want games which are undisputedly ace, though, you can get the X-Com Complete Pack for $5, if you haven't already, Green Man Gaming has a few good bundles and EA offers 50% off a good selection of games if you buy two. Our selection of the weekend's deals follows below. Unusually, there's no Steam deal this weekend.
