Shack PSA: Weekend PC digital deals

The weekend is upon our doorstep, which can only mean that its natural predators have followed. Sniffling around, clawing at the door, turning over the bins, leaving threatening phone calls, the digital distributors are here--and they've brought bargains.

The star of the week is, of course, the pay-what-you-want Humble Frozenbyte Bundle. Steam's Potato Sack bargain indie bundle is the finest of the conventional deals, though it's hardly conventional--following an ARG, Valve has revealed that playing the Potato Sack games will help unlock Portal 2 early.

Here's our selection of this week's deal:
