Gaming is an expensive hobby. That's why we at Complex have done you the favor of digging up the best deals on downloadable games this weekend. Find out how to make your dollars go the farthest by following our guide to this weekend's best bargains.
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (75% Off)
Retailer: Steam
Price: $7.49 (75% Off)
Link: http://bit.ly/cHzukb
Had enough of boring, baby RPGs? Then why don't you give The Witcher 2 a try? It'll have you begging on your knees for forgiveness when you start and feeling like a triumphant champion near the end. It doesn't hurt that it's also one of the most gorgeous games to be released in the last few years; just make sure your PC can handle it.
Saints Row: The Third - Full Package
Saints Row: The Third - Full Package (50% Off)
Retailer: Amazon
Price: $14.99 (50% Off)
Link: http://amzn.to/RYjqVu
I'm a fan of any game that lets me play as a fat naked woman, wield a baseball bat-sized dildo, dive out of a speeding car, and smack a luchador in the face with the dick-end of my weapon. There is no game more batshit insane than this, and you need to enjoy it to be a truly happy person.
Mass Effect Trilogy
Mass Effect Trilogy (50% Off)
Retailer: Amazon
Price: $29.99 (50% Off)
Link: http://amzn.to/YuO31G
Say what you will about the ending, but Mass Effect is one of the most important trilogies in gaming's history. Never befor ehad a company released a series of games that carried your choices through different titles to culminate in a finale that - while not up to expectations - was ultimately influenced by decisions you made 2 games ago. Stack all that on top of a well designed action/shooter/rpg kinda game and you've got something memorable worth playing.
Square Enix / Eidos Collection
Square Enix / Eidos Collection (71% Off)
Retailer: Gamers Gate
Price: $79.99 (71% Off)
Link: http://bit.ly/WbN98T
Square Enix and Eidos have been impressing the hell out of me lately. Taking big chances on more niche games, supporting unique variations on traditionally overplayed franchises, and releasing a lot of quality games this year, they've done well. Now it's time to thank them by paying them 70% less than they normally get for all of their games!
The pack includes gems like Hitman: Absolution, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Just Cause 2, and more Tomb Raider games than you ever wanted to own.
Dead Space Collection
Dead Space Collection (70% Off)
Retailer: Gamers Gate
Price: $11.99 (70% Off)
Link: http://bit.ly/NejBpa
The price on this game should actually read $12 + a new pair of pants because it's likely to scare the crap out of you. Dead Space and Dead Space 2 somehow manage to mix classic elements of survival horror with a much more action-based gameplay which seems contradictory, but it works surprisingly well.
The WTF Pack
The WTF Pack (90% Off)
Retailer: Amazon
Price: $9.99 (90% Off)
Link: http://amzn.to/ZJP3oM
The Darkness II is one of those games I keep forgetting I played, but then when I do remember, I'm reminded how much fun it was. It alone is worth the Hamilton, but Amazon's also giving you the original Borderlands and Duke Nukem Forever on top of that.
Desert to Sea Bundle
Desert to Sea Bundle (89% Off)
Retailer: Amazon
Price: $9.99 (89% Off)
Link: http://amzn.to/UAm02Y
Amazon's not letting up with its holiday deals this year. The Desert to Sea Bundle is ridiculously cheap considering it comes with both BioShock and BioShock 2, plus Spec Ops: The Line for under $10. Even if you've already played in Rapture long enough, the bundle's well worth the price just for Spec Ops on its own. Give the extra codes to friends or whatever, but this is one sweet deal.
PAYDAY: The Heist
PAYDAY: The Heist (75% Off)
Retailer: Steam
Price: $4.99 (75% Off)
Link: http://bit.ly/qaJstl
If you haven't heard of PAYDAY, think of it like Left 4 Dead but instead of zombies, there's cops, and instead of trying to make your way to a safehouse, you're trying to break into a bank, rob it, and escape without getting shot to death. It's good co-op fun and for $20 you can have enough copies for you and your band of bank robbing friends!
The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead (50% Off)
Retailer: Amazon
Price: $12.49 (50% Off)
Link: http://amzn.to/RYijF9
Winning more GOTY awards than anyone ever thought possible, The Walking Dead is a masterpiece of interactive fiction. Decisions you make in the game have long-lasting consequences and far more frequently than you'd like, morality will have to take a back seat to survival.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (50% Off)
Retailer: Steam
Price: $29.79 (50% Off)
Link: http://bit.ly/qc3DIu
Even without the discount, Skyrim is probably one of the best deals you can get when you consider its cost versus content ratio. That's not to mention the recent DLC additions that let you ride on the backs of dragons and kill a whole bunch of vampires. Hell, even Conan O'Brien likes it.
