Vacations are great, but I've always though most tourist locales lack a particular omnipresent sense of death and decay. On Dead Island's island of Banoi, that's the last thing you'll be worried about as zombies try to rip you limb from limb and eat your brains! You'll have to work with survivors, build new weapons, and find a way to survive in this tropical paradise gone to hell.

Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition (15% Off)

Retailer: Amazon

Price: $19.90 (50% Off)

If there's one thing you may want to buy with the money you save this weekend on Dark Souls, it's probably going to be a new keyboard. Chances are you'll be picking yours up and smashing it against the wall in sheer frustration as the game taunts and torments you, forcing you to die over and over again for every inch of ground gained.

Tomb Raider: Underworld (75% Off)

Retailer: Steam

Price: $4.99 (75% Off)

Good old Lara Croft may be poised for a total reboot next year when her new game releases, but the past few titles in the Tomb Raider series haven't been too bad in their own right. All of the post-Anniversary games are available for a quarter of their original price, including Legend and Underworld. If you just can't wait for her gritty reinvention, this is a pretty solid way to get your archealogical fix.

Battlefield 3 (15% Off)

Retailer: Amazon

Price: $33.95 (15% Off)

As we get closer to the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, it's important to pay respects to the one game that's still giving the series a run for its money. Battlefield 3 on PC is the sort of game you use to test your latest graphics card. This game doesn't look good on a high-end machine; it looks unbelievable. Seriously, grab it and put your cards through the ringer. If they survive, you're going to have one hell of a show.

Dead Space 2 (75% Off)

Retailer: Gamefly

Price: $4.99 (75% Off)

Halloween may have come and gone, but that's no excuse to stop shitting your pants in terror. Dead Space 2 picks up with Isaac Clarke broken to the point of insanity as he battles his mind and hordes of necromorphes in a bid for survival. With added multiplayer, there are worse ways to bide your time waiting for Dead Space 3 to come out.

Red Faction: Guerilla (75% Off)

Retailer: Greenman Gaming

Price: $4.99 (75% Off)

Link: http://bit.ly/Vg6GcQ  

It would probably be a lot easier to colonize Mars if some damn lunatic didn't keep blowing all the buildings up. Red Faction: Guerilla is the ultimate power fantasy for anyone who's ever wanted to torment poor engineers stuck on the surface of an alien planet by dismantling all of their accomplishments with a pile of explosives. Nearly everything in this game can be destroyed, and destroyed you'll make it.

Guerilla's lesser sequel, Armageddon and the original Red Faction are also on sale.

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War II Retribution (75% Off)

Retailer: Greenman Gaming

Price: $7.49 (75% Off)

Link: http://bit.ly/TxA0JI 

Warhammer 40,000 is a pretty good tabletop game, but who has the time to build and paint miniatures, go down to their local game shop, and spend hours debating rules with glossy-eyed weirdos who breathe with their mouth open? Dawn of War II streamlines the whole process by taking the strategy game we all love and turning it into a smooth RTS. Even better is the co-op Last Stand mode that lets you partner up with a few friends and take on legions of enemies as they descend upon you in waves.

The Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War II Chaos Rising is also on sale.

Use the coupon code GMG25-UAAHK-6AI9S on checkout for an additional 25% off.

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine (75% Off)

Retailer: Greenman Gaming

Price: $7.49 (75% Off)

Link: http://bit.ly/Sj0ag9 

Strategy games are great and all, but we all know you'd love to climb into a suit of power armor and slash the hell out of an army of Orks. Space Marine lets you do exactly that. On first glance you may assume this is another Gears of War ripoff, but unlike most cover-based shooters, in this one you only regenerate when you dive into the action and earn yourself some bloody kills with your chainsword, just like one of the Emperor's finest would.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (33% Off)

Retailer: Steam

Price: $9.99 (33% Off)

Link: http://bit.ly/Pn88Uc  

In addition to being completely free to play this weekend, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is also on sale in case the sampling doesn't wet your appetite enough. With new maps and characters tacked onto the same gameplay as its predecessors, the most notable enhancement will be that it doesn't look like a low-resolution game made in 1999.

The Walking Dead (40% Off)

Retailer: Amazon

Price: $14.99 (40% Off)

Link: http://amzn.to/SBsLAw 

Want to know a cool secret about The Walking Dead game by Telltale? The writing is by far superior to that of the TV series. Even better, you get to interact with the game in ways that affect how the story unfolds episode by episode. At nearly half-price, you're getting access to the four episodes already released, plus a ticket into the fifth when it comes out.
