Running low on cash? Gaming is not a cheap hobby, but luckily, we live in a world where it’s hard to take five steps without tripping over an irresistible must-buy deal. Here are some awesome specials currently being run by digital distributors.<\/p>\n

Bioshock and Bioshock 2<\/strong> $4.99 – ±R35<\/em>  (were $19.99 each) Steam<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bioshock <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bioshock is an un-contended classic, and was praised for its incredible atmosphere, mature narrative, and innovative gameplay. The sequel did not achieve the same same critical acclaim as the first game, but both are each easily worth the price of a  cheap lunch if you have yet to play them.<\/p>\n

Rift<\/strong> $34.99 – ±R245<\/em> (was $49.95) Freenmangaming<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rift <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Barely a month into release, and Trion’s coveted “WoW killer” is already on special with at least one digital retailer. Rift has been met with an overwhelmingly positive response, and is praised for combining MMO fundamentals with some unique innovations. If you were on the fence about it, this may be just what you need.<\/p>\n

Dirt 2<\/strong> $4.99 – ±R35 (was $19.95) Direct2Drive<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dirt 2<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dirt 2 remains a favourite in the MyGaming offices. Incredible DirectX 11 visuals, dozens of tracks and locations, and fantastic racing dynamics make it a worthy addition to any racing fan’s collection.<\/p>\n

StarTrek Online Digital Delux Edition<\/strong> $5.98 – ±R42<\/em> (was $14.95) Gamersgate<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

StarTrek Online<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

While StarTrek Online failed to live up to its grand expectations, for the price of a movie, it remains a tempting prospect for any self respecting MMO junky.<\/p>\n

Magicka<\/strong> $4.99 – ±R35 <\/em>(was $9.99) Steam<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Magicka <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
