This weekend has some cracking sales so it's hard to pick one headlining game, but Borderlands 2 for $11 is pretty darn good. Other exciting bargains include Sleeping Dogs for $6, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare for $7, Dark Souls for $8, The Walking Dead for $8, Batman: Arkham City GotY for $8, Hitman: Absolution for $9, Diablo 3 for $40, and a cracking bundle of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Civilization IV Complete, and Civ V Gold for $20.
Alice is out this weekend, actually enjoying her life. So, based on the laws of the Cult of GameFly, the next person on the Shacknews team alphabetically is responsible for this weekend's PC deals post. Or else.
Some highlights this weekend include Bulletstorm and Syndicate oddly bundled up into a $7 collection, the newest Hitman for only $5, and a Steam powered re-release of System Shock 2 that also happens to be on sale. Onward!
Humble Bundle yesterday launched a new pay-what-you-want package of games that's more than acceptable, more than just fine, it's Double Fine. I'll explain the amusing pun: for as much or as little as you fancy paying, you can get Double Fine Productions' lovely games Stacking, Costume Quest, Psychonauts. If you're not stingy, Brutal Legend and Broken Age are up for grabs too.
The PlayStation Store will add a dedicated indie section to its interface when it updates later today, to promote its streak of unique (and usually exclusive) independent efforts, such as Journey and The Unfinished Swan. The new section will rotate highlighted games, and it's kicking off with a few discounts on recent indie games.
The star of this week's weekend deals is undoubtedly a bundle of both XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Civilization V for only $16. You'll also find everything Tropico 4 for $10, Jagged Alliance: Back in Action for $10, Sleeping Dogs for $13, the new Tomb Raider for $25, and loads of classic EA games you absolutely, positively must own for only $2 a pop.
Either I'm exhausted from swimming for the first time in 14 years, or this weekend has an absurdly large number of discounts. Maybe both. And that's a very lazy way to begin any writing. Anyway, you'll find the new Tomb Raider for $20, Trine 2 for $4, SimCity 4 for $5, Retro City Rampage for $8, Brutal Legend for $10, Anno 2070 Complete for $25, Far Cry 3 for $30, and loads more.
Look, I've got dancing to do, and you've got... whatever you fill your empty life with, so let's make this quick. Video games. That's how you pass time until death. This weekend's download sales include XCOM: Enemy Unknown for $20, Dead Island GotY for $4, Portal 2 for $5, Mass Effect 3 for $8, Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC for $10, Guild Wars 2 for $40, and a big lovely D&D bundle with the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale games, Planescape Torment, and Temple of Elemental Evil for only $7.
The weekend is upon us, ready thyself. Ring it in cheap video games, which this week include Scribblenauts Unlimited for $9, Battlefield 3 for $12, Assassin's Creed III for $25, Dishonored for $30, a bouncing Blendo Games bundle, and 50% off loads of classic Interplay games.
It's a good weekend of undead or demonic fun this weekend, with The Walking Dead on sale at $10, Dead Island GotY at $5, and Painkiller: Hell & Damnation at $6. Other, more-alive deals at PC digital distributors this weekend include The Witcher 2 for $10, a huge bundle of D&D games for $21, and Borderlands 2 plus its DLC season pass for $25.
Electronic Arts has decided to mark the holiday weekend with a sale on its iOS and Android apps, so you can complement your chocolate bunnies and hard-boiled eggs with some games. More than 55 games have been discounted, including some that normally go for $9.99 going for 99 cents.
How quickly new games drop in price! This weekend you can buy Hitman: Absolution for $10, Dark Souls for $15, Borderlands 2 for $20, XCOM: Enemy Unknown for $25, Assassin's Creed III for $25, Far Cry 3 for $34, Tomb Raider for $38, Guild Wars 2 for $40, and SimCity for $40.

Pay-what-you-want bundle dealer Humble Bundle has dabbled in mobile games before, but then it was offering them for PC too. Today it launched the very first true Humble Mobile Bundle, offering a selection of fine games purely for Android, including acclaimed puzzler The Room, reverse tower defense Anomaly Korea, and lawn defense Plants vs. Zombies. Hey, a new Humble Weekly Bundle arrived today too, with Darksiders and Red Faction games.
It's the weekend before BioShock Infinite launches, which means digital distributors are pulling out all the stops to get you to pre-order. You'll find a mighty fine deal inside! Sales are good in general this weekend, with Borderlands 2 for $16, Dishonored for $24, and more stonking indie discounts than you can shake a stick at.
Hey, you! Have you played Natural Selection 2 yet? If you fancy giving the FPS-RTS a go, today's your lucky day, as it'll be free for all and sundry to try and play on Steam from this morning until Sunday. To put a cherry on top, developer Unknown Worlds is cutting the price by 50% for the weekend too, bringing it down to $12.50.
Branching out from pay-what-you-want bundles, Humble Bundle has launched a new weekly bargain-o-rama. To kick things off, the Humble Weekly Sale is selling Bastion for as little as a dollar, though surely you'd pay more, wouldn't you? Hey, what timing! Developer Supergiant announced its new game, sci-fi action-RPG Transistor, only this morning.
"The game + season pass is all you really need. Maybe that one new character too but season pass ..."
