Star Wars games are apparently the 'in' thing this weekend at PC digital distributors, with numerous discounts on Jedi-y games. If that's not your bag, you can pick up the Ultimate Edition of Dragon Age: Origins for $12, Dirt 2 for $7, the classic Tex Murphy games at 50% off, or avail yourself to the many other deals we've collected this weekend for your purchasing pleasure.
It's a quiet, yet solid, weekend of PC deals at digital distributors, with the highlights including Civilization V for $12.50, Arma 2 for $5, and savings on the rest of the Ama series. You'll also find respectable discounts on Apogee classics, Dungeon Siege III, and recent Need for Speed games.
Although the free NES games for 3DS Ambassadors weren't supposed to be live until tomorrow, clever fans have discovered that you can download the games right now. Ten NES games are available for 3DS early adopters, including the original Metroid, Super Mario Bros, and Zelda. But how do you take advantage of this offer?
This weekend at PC digital distributors, you'll find Dragon Age II for $12, Deus Ex: Human Revolution for $36, Borderlands Game of the Year Edition for $7.49, space game savings, and heaps more. Pre-orders are in on the fun too, with a third off pre-orders including Batman: Arkham City, Dead Island and Red Orchestra 2.
With Deus Ex: Human Revolution launching next week, how do you fancy pre-ordering it on PC for $34? Our selection of this weekend's deals at PC digital distributors includes that fine saving, as well as Assassin's Creed Brotherhood for $16 and BioShock 2 for $7. And then there's the discounts on Warhammer 40,000 games, Telltale's adventure games, some fine indies... look, just come see.
Big PC game sales and widespread discounts again come bounding ahead of the weekend, tongues lolling in the wind, wet noses sniffling, fur matted with filth and excrement, like children on summer vacation. Games going cheap at digital distributors include Dead Space 2, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Minecraft, Alice: Madness Returns, Frozen Synapse, IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover.
Let this serve as a reminder: if you want to get in on the free games that come with a higher price tag on the Nintendo 3DS, you should get thee to a store toot sweet. Starting this Friday, the price drop goes into effect and you can grab the system for $169.99. If you buy one and log on to the eShop by 11:59 pm EST on Thursday, though, you'll be recognized as a 3DS Ambassador, which nets you 20 free downloadable games.

Summer has apparently arrived, as evidenced by colossal summer sales exploding onto the Internet this week. There are countless fine PC games going cheap at digital distributors over the weekend, or at least so many that I gave up counting and curled up in a quivering, weeping ball.

Can you picture Steam's owner, Ian Steam, turfed out into the streets, destitute, trying to ply his trade on street corners? It could happen to anyone. Along with Ian Direct2Drive, Ian GOG and all the other digital distribution magnates, he could be out there in filthy sodden rags, desperately trying to earn a living the only way he knows. Unable to afford Internet access with the pennies they dig out of the gutter, they'll scrawl thousands of pages of binary on old newspapers, then come knocking on your door to sell them. Do you want that to happen? All they want is a cup of coffee and a warm bed for the night. You have the power to change this. Unsheath your Visa Black Card and buy some cheap PC games this weekend.
Here's our selection of this weeks deals: Read more »
