Are you ready for some football? If so, perhaps you might be interested in a free weekend for Madden NFL 21 on Origin and Steam.

Because of the unique times that we're living in, it's understandable that this year's NFL season just snuck up on you. But if you missed it, yes, the 2020 NFL season is underway. Sure, people aren't gathering in bars or tailgating (at least I hope not), but that's not reducing any of the action on the field. That also means it's time to jump into Madden.

So we're not going to lie. Madden this year was not great… or even particularly good. But hey, maybe you would disagree with us. Maybe you're thinking, "Surely, this can't be as bad as Shacknews and that 0.4 Metacritic user score are making it sound." You're totally welcome to think that. In fact, there's a Free Weekend going down right now on both Origin and Steam, so here's the time for you to judge this year's Madden for yourself!

Elsewhere, there's a new Borderlands 3 expansion, which means the game is on sale all over the place, including Steam and the Epic Games Store. The Ubisoft Forward just wrapped up, so Ubisoft games are on sale all over the place. The wait is over if you wanted to get Control without the DRM strings, because the Control Ultimate Edition is now available and on sale from GOG.com. And if you missed out on any of the great deals from the Humble Store, then look through the Humble End of Summer Sale Encore and find your favorite game for cheap.

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?
