The New Year is already here, so bring on the New Year sales. Yes, it's another weekend, and another squillion PC games are on sale at digital distributors. Tuck in! Green Man Gaming's New Year sale kicks off on New Year's Day, promising cuts on over 200 games, so that'll be something to keep an eye out for. Here's our selection of this weekend's PC deals:

Amazon

Liable to disappear whenever Amazon feels like it:

Dead Space 2

Direct2Drive

Friday:

The Saboteur

GamersGate

GamersGate has many, many video games on sale for New Year, but here are a few of them:

Magicka

Get Games

Anno 2070

Good Old Games

Almost every game at GOG is on sale right now. The full list is this-a-way, but here are a few highlights:

Fallout

IndieGala

Pay what you want for a bundle with Hacker Evolution: Duality, inMomentum, Saira, Your Doodles Are Bugged! and Zombie Shooter 2. Pay more than the average price to receive Hacker Evolution: Untold and Zombie Shooter too. All games are redeemable on Steam.

Hacker Evolution: Duality

Impulse

Dark Void

Little Big Bunch

Pay what you want for a bundle with Explodemon, Frozen Synapse, New Star Soccer 5, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee, Serious Sam: Double D.

Serious Sam: Double D

Matrix Games

Specialist strategy publisher Matrix is offering around a third off most of its games. I would select a few highlights if I had the slightest clue about hardcore, esoteric strategy titles.

Gary Grigsby's War in the East

PopCap Games

PopCap is offering 50% off all its PC and Mac games.

Plants vs. Zombies

Steam

Steam's holiday sale is big. Really big. Huge. Colossal. There are discounts on publisher catalogues, bundles, and heaps of individual games. Think of a game, then go check and you'll probably find it on sale. The real treat, however, is the daily sales. A dozen or so games receive mega-discounts every day, so you might want to want until Sunday, when it ends, before pouncing on games which haven't yet appeared in dailies. Until Saturday, 2pm Pacific:

Fallout: New Vegas

        I'd say, I haven't played much hacker evolution, but it doesn't look much like zombie shooter 2 in my memory :)

      Why is Battlefield 3 the article image, but there's no deal for it?

      Also, I didn't know Plants vs. Zombies looked like that.

        Blorf! I put an old version of the article up by mistake. GamersGate has BF3 for $40.

        And yes, you'd be surprised by how many games resemble Dragon Age. And that Dark Void had horses.

      So Saboteur isn't Steamworks? How is it as a game? And Dragon Age II I would have to play via Origin?

        There is definitely way more than $5 worth of fun in Saboteur. Unless you don't like killing Nazis. Or setting up your base of operations in a burlesque theater. Or blowing up, shooting, running over, or tossing Nazis off a roof. There's some Nazi killing involved.

        They didn't bother to make it run on ATi cards so if you have one you don't even have to think about it.

        Saboteur was good enough that I played it to the end, and I'm terrible with getting bored in games.

      That screenshot from Fallout: New Vegas looks pretty rudimentary compared to Skyrim. It's amazing how much difference proper shadows make.
