Weekend PC download deals: tumbleweeds

Hey... where'd all the PC deals go?

Now that Gamescom is behind us, it's time to vault into the fall season… in a few more weeks. Yes, it's still summer doldrum time, but that's alright, because it means you can catch up on some of the big PC games you might have missed. Well… sort of.

You see, retailer deals are somehow really hard to find this week. The best deal you'll probably find is Steam's discount for the Counter-Strike franchise. But Amazon, Get Games, and even the normally reliable Humble Bundle seem to have pulled their tents up for this week. It's an odd week, to say the least.

Here's our selection of this weekend's PC deals:

Amazon

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?

      Where have all the good deals gone
      To tax our credit cards?
      Where's Gabe Newell's Steam machine
      To get us cheap icons?
      Isn't there a GOG sale
      Or Humble Bundle seed?
      Late at night I toss and I turn
      And I dream of what I need

      I need a game sale
      I'm holding out for a game sale 'til the end of the night
      It's gotta be good and it's gotta be cheap
      And it's gotta be quick to delight
      I need a game sale
      I'm holding out for a game sale 'til the morning light
      It's gotta have deals so I won't need my wheels
      To drive to a store in the night
      Store in the night

      *ooo ooo ooo OOOO*

      Is $4.99 worth it for the Orange Box if I don't have HL2 on PC?

        Not too worried about the other titles since I got Portal when it was on free and the other one is free to play now so that seems to kind of diminish the value somewhat.

        Go download Lost Alpha. It's free and completely overhauled STALKER into an even better game.
