The weekend is upon us; ready thyself. PC games going cheap digitally this weekend include BioShock Infinite for $30, Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition for $4, the first two BioShock games for $5, Sleeping Dogs for $6, Aliens: Colonial Marines and its DLC for $8 (I know, but perhaps you're curious?), The Walking Dead and its DLC for $12, and Anno 2070 Complete for $17. Here's our selection of this weekend's PC deals:

GameFly

Using the code GFDAUG20 gets you 20% off everything, as I understand it. I can't confirm these exactly as I'm in the UK, which makes it fiddly, but that should get you roughly these prices:

Fallout: New Vegas

Amazon

Hotline Miami

Bundle Stars

Pay $5.00 for Afterfall Insanity, Air Conflicts: Pacific Carriers, Cargo Commander, Disciples III: Renaissance, Dungeons: The Dark Lord, Galaxy on Fire 2 Full HD, Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior's Rise, The Journey Down: Chapter 1, Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space, and Zeno Clash.

        I just got through the opening and got the bike, seems decent so far. Is the DLC worth it?

          I'd say so. Nightmare at Northpoint was pretty neat because it felt like a horror movie of sorts. TheZodiac tournament was fairly fun and it was a tribute to movies like Enter the Dragon. As for Year of the Snake I felt it was the weakest of the DLC. but it was nice to see some continuation after the story.

      It's crazy how dated Quake 4 looks. I remember just 5 years ago it looked great, and my old computer ran it a tad slow. Now it looks plasticy.

        I'm not sure that Quake 4 ever actually looked good. I don't remember it looking good at all. Doom 3 and Quake 4 had an awful lot of shit with no style or maybe just bad style, and Quake Wars too. Just really bad materials all over the place, with exceptions here and there. Rage was better and would have been exceptionally better if it didn't throw hideously low resolution textures all up in your face sometimes.

          Quake 4 really suffered from the fact that the areas lit with bright baked ambient light maps looked terrible, the interiors looked pretty good along with Doom 3 though arguments could be made against the art style.

          But yeah the big issue, like you said, was a material issue. I think Quake Wars was better than Quake4 with at least dealing with the textures under bright ambient light, but it still suffered.

          Rage was significantly better at handling materials and cooked lighting, though as Carmack pointed out in the keynote, part of that was due to many manual hacks on the specific instance of the material for the lighting it was exposed to.

      Thanks for these posts Alice! Still not $8 curious about ACM though. I know it's probably splitting hairs at this price range but $5 might do it.

        Other thread says avoid at all costs. Even if it's cheap aren't there so many better games to play?

            Great job! Now, I'm stuck at 91% completion with 2 secrets to be found on E1L1. If you find them all, lemme know. I find less than 50% on the first half, then the other to make it 91% during the 2nd so I think I might be missing something on the first half.

            Here's me playing ~30 minutes on that level looking for them all. Some spoilers I suppose, but it's the first level of the game.

        I went on ahead and bought it for $8. Hell, you get the game and the season pass. Even if it does suck I'm quite sure I'll get $8 worth of laughs out of it if anything. No biggy to me. Thx for the post Alice!

      How is Anno 2070? I tried the demo over a year ago, but my radeon 4850 just couldn't handle it, so I wasn't left with a great impression of it. Gameplay? It sounded like a simcity/rts style game when I first looked into it. Any thoughts?
