We're halfway through the month of March and some of the spring's most anticipated releases have already started to arrive. But there's still more on the way and unless you're looking to get buried under an avalanche of backlogged games, you might want to take a weekend to catch up, thanks to another weekend of amazing deals.
If you're looking to spend your whole weekend playing games, you'll probably notice time go by a lot faster than normal. That's because this is the weekend to spring forward and set your clocks one hour ahead. Just remember, if you're committing yourself to your PC games, sleep is ultimately for the weak.
The Academy Awards are this weekend. You might recognize it as the award show that always runs about two hours too long and makes you wonder why you're bothering to watch one of the world's most boring award show. I can't imagine Ellen DeGeneres is about to change that, either, so I guess this weekend is a prime opportunity to catch up with your PC games.
It's hard to believe, but we're already nearing the end of February. I know, the first two months of 2014 have already passed! And that means that some major game releases are around the corner. On top of offering some deals on previous game releases, there are also some notable pre-order offers to take a look at, as well.
Valetine's Day kinda stinks, doesn't it? If you're single, you have to put up with couples showing off their happiness and loving bliss. Meanwhile, if you do have a Valentine, you wind up missing things like the Titanfall beta. But the light at the end of the tunnel is that this is a three-day weekend and that means you can get your fill of PC games in before going back to the grind on Tuesday.
While the latest Dungeon Keeper may not be at all what you want, a free-to-play mobile game with microtransactions up the wazoo, hey, what's the harm--the original is still there, right? Indeed it is, and now it's briefly free for everyone to download and play (no microtransactions, either) on GOG.
I'm as patriotic as the next guy, but am I the only one that finds it hard to get excited by the Winter Olympics? Maybe I'm just the wrong audience for something like curling or the luge. Maybe I'll get excited for Olympic men's hockey, but we're at least a week away from that. So I guess this is a good weekend to catch up with your PC games.
I sure hope you've carved out all of Sunday afternoon, because you have some PC games you need to catch up on! That's right! Get to filling up that back catalog, because you're going to busy all of Sunday playing through as many PC games as you can! Besides, it's not like there's anything else going on that day, right?
You may want to sit down for this one, football fans. There are no games this weekend. I know, it's hard to accept. Some people are even making up stories about some fictional, imaginary all-star game that's supposedly being played this weekend. A football game in Hawaii? That's just crazy! You're crazy, delusional football fan! So with no football to take up your time this weekend, I guess you can focus more of your time on some great PC games.
It's a three-day weekend for many, so celebrate with discounted PC games. Grab a handful of indie games from GameFly Digital, take advantage of the many games on sale through Green Man Gaming by using their 25% off coupon, and play through Company of Heroes 2 and Saints Row 4 through their free Steam weekends.
