Online gaming specials this weekend

online gaming specials

It’s Friday, it’s raining, and there’s no better excuse to stay in and play games tonight than “LOOK, WHY DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN MYSELF EVERY TIME I WANT TO DO SOMETHING, JEEZ. STOP NAGGING ME, VOICE IN MY HEAD”. Actually, the voices aren’t technically in my head – my cat just likes to talk to me. See? I don’t need to leave the house, I’ve already got all the company I’ll ever need.

So, this weekend you can play Left 4 Dead 2 and Rock of Ages on Steam for free, and both games are also 75% off if you decide you like them enough to pay for them. That’s $4.99 (R40) and $2.49 (R20) respectively, which is probably less than it would cost you to drive to the shops and pay for parking.

If zombie apocalypses and rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ rocks aren’t your thing, GOG has one of those pay-what-you-want deals on Interplay’s catalogue.

For the low, low price of whatever you want to pay, you can get eight games, including the very fine Jagged Alliance 2: Unfinished Business and Conquest of the New World. If you pay more than the current average of $15.04 (R130), you’ll get 20 games, and if you pay up $34.99 (just over R300 or so), you’ll get 32 games, plus 21 soundtracks, plus 721 “more goodies”. But more importantly, Fallout 2 is in there, and that’s what you really want.
