Weekend PC download deals: Rising Storm and Company of Heroes 2 free weekends

Another month is coming to a close, as spring is in full swing. Well, it is in most parts of the country, anyway. Several regions are enduring a round of April showers, which means going outdoors many not be the best idea. So it's a good thing that there are some sweet deals on PC games to be found this weekend, for anyone that's going to be stuck inside.

Another month is coming to a close, as spring is in full swing. Well, it is in most parts of the country, anyway. Several regions are enduring a round of April showers, which means going outdoors many not be the best idea. So it's a good thing that there are some sweet deals on PC games to be found this weekend, for anyone that's going to be stuck inside. Steam is offering free weekends for a pair of fine games: Company of Heroes 2 and Rising Storm, which just received GOTY content earlier this week. Amazon is having a huge Activision sale that includes games I haven't seen discounted in years, like Prototype, the Transformers Cybertron games, and Singularity. GamersGate is in the middle of a huge Spring Sale, with flash sales rotating in every few hours. And GameFly Digital is offering some dynamite bundles, led by the huge Borderlands Collection that gives you GOTY editions of both Borderlands games and the XCOM Collection that gives you Enemy Unknown, Enemy Within, and The Bureau all in one neat package for $19.99 (after coupon). Here's our selection of this weekend's PC deals:

Company of Heroes 2

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?

      So, BF4 premium is $40 from gamer's gate. It doesn't usually go on sale, does it?

          If you go in with super low expectations? Then yeah, it's "fun." It could have been so much better though.

        It doesn't normally go on sale, but I believe you can use a GMG coupon on it. I could be wrong on that.

      that S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Clear Sky screenshot is horrifying

        It's even worse if you've ever played the game. The critter in the screenshot is an elephant-sized bullet sponge, with trampling abilities to match.
