Deals And Sales - 'Things Goin' On This Weekend' (Weekend of August 11th, 2017) [Notification]

Just a quick Notification of some things going on... Once in a while, I try to post about Sales going on somewhere - especially the 'big' ones, like Summer's End or Christmas Sales. This weekend, there are a few 'Free Weekends' and Sales going on (that I saw so far) and thought I wanted to share them, just in case there were others interested in these games, heh. Here's what I saw is Goin' On This Weekend:

Guild Wars 2 Expansion (Path Of Fire) is Free To Try all weekend:

GOG.com (formerly Good Old Games) is having a couple of Sales on games which include series like Master Of Orion, Warhammer 40K, Painkiller, Delta Force, Red Faction and at the same time having a sale on Strategy Games like Codename Panzers, Men of War, Hybrid Wars, Total Annihilation, Empire Earth, and more:

Some other games, which are Free To Try all weekend via Steam, are:







For Honor, the medieval swordplay/battle game is Free To Try all weekend and selling for half-price
(for those that remember Die By The Sword, it looks like it may be similar to that, but in an 'arena' setting [sorry, but I haven't been able to try it yet]):

Saints Row IV, from the crazy "each game is increasingly like GTA-on-drugs" open-world/action
series, is Free To Try all weekend and selling at a reduced price
[I haven't tried it yet, but I am still playing the wacky Saints Row III once in a while and still getting a kick out of it]:

Sorry I didn't get to finishing this sooner, but the weekend isn't over yet! Get out there and try these games out or grab something you want on sale - and maybe See You In The Game!


Edit:

I completely forgot one more I was going to post in here! 

GamersGate also has some games on Sale right now, including Borderlands (for five bucks!), the Mafia series, Bioshock series, Xcom series, and more:

Deals And Sales: GOG.com's 2017 Summer Sale Is On Now [Notification]

Just a notification that GOG.com (formerly Good Old Games) has started their Summer Sale for the year, offering up to a crazy 90% OFF some games from their sizeable DRM-free collection [install on as many machines as there are in your household]. Here are a few Deals that I personally am thinking of getting:

And More: Deals and Sales - 2014 Summer Super Sales

Just to let more people know, in case some didn't already, there are a lot of great Summer Sales going on right now at various game distribution/retailer websites [think of them as 'Winter Wonder Sales' if you are in the Southern Hemisphere]. Here are a couple samples:

Good Old Games, now called GOG.com, have both ongoing sales and Time Limited Deals, with games such as The Hitman Series, Simcity2000, the Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series, the Might & Magic series, the Wing Commander series, Quest For Glory and King's Quest series, the Rollercoaster Tycoon series, and much more

Steam is having it's Summer Sale, that also has some ongoing deals with some Time Limited Sales, with games such as The Witcher series, Euro Truck Simulator series, the Left 4 Dead series, the Total War series of games, Red Alert 3, Civilization 5, and much more
(Click to see Full Size)

Some of these are Time Limited Deals, meaning that they are only 'on' for a few hours, or change after a few hours - so check back there once in a while and see if any games you have been waiting for are on sale - most of these are 80% or 90% off!

[For the most part, they seem to 'stay' on sale/remain on sale, but at a slightly higher sale price than within the 'time limit' (but are still available at less than regular price)]

I hope you find something you like and See You In The Games!

And More: Deals and Sales - Guild Wars 2 is $24.99 Right Now

Woohoo! I have no idea when it started and no idea when it will end, but I just saw this with my own two eyes... if you are looking for one last reason to get GW2, it is now on sale for just under $25 American Dollars. That's about £15 British Pounds if you are from the UK, руб890 Rubles if you are from Russia, 1500 Rupees if you are from India and what works out to be about $10,000,000 Canadian Dollars:

I just might get my own copy finally and be able to stop begging others to play theirs (you know who you are)... Go to http://buy.guildwars2.com/ to get it while it's On Sale and See You In the Game!

And More: Deals and Sales - "The Hitman Collection" (All Games Except Hitman: Contracts) On Sale Until January 24th

It's hard not to get excited enough to use cliches here, so I'll just say that all fans of the Hitman series of games should set their sights on a huge discount that is happening right now on Steam:

(This banner will take you to the Steam Store purchase page for this sale)

"The Hitman Collection" as Steam calls it, is targeting all Hitman games of the series (except for Hitman: Contracts, possibly due to licensing issues), setting them at a near-fatal 80% off their regular price. This pecuniary garroting means that Hitman: Absolution is going down for the killer price of only $4.99 (when the regular price as of the time of this post is $24.99), or you can snipe all four games for $8.99 - but all of this is in view only until January 24th - then the mission is over...

Okay, that's enough cliche for one post. I hope you catch them in time. Good luck, 47. Ooh, I had one cliche-bullet left.

And More: Deals and Sales - Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics - All 3 Games Completely Free Until The End Of December 13th at Good Old Games (gog.com)

Pardon me, I got so excited seeing this great deal, I forgot that they aren't called Good Old Games anymore (since sometime last year..). Don't let that stop you from taking advantage of this absolutely Free Gift from GOG.com: Fallout 1, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics are all wrapped up with a bow for the Holidays and waiting for you to add to your DRM-free collection at their website - see the full details there: http://www.gog.com/news/free_games_fallout_fallout_2_and_fallout_tactics

I hope you catch'em in time and See You In The Games!
