Desmond may be a bit of a lame character, but there's no denying that his cerebral adventures have made some truly awesome games. If you're up for a lengthy history lesson, the entire Assassin's Creed series is on sale over at Gamefly including Assassin's Creed III. Looking back on all the different settings the games have brough us, it's fun thinking of where the next ones will take us.

If you've already played Mass Effect and its sequel, you kind of owe it to yourself to play the third as well. I'm not even sure why you wouldn't have already if you got this far, but for those super-procrastinators, here's a healthy discount on this generation's largest sci-fi epic.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (50% Off)

If you're looking to find a game that you can play all year long, the bounty of content in Skyrim is a good bet to make, especially with the new Dragonborn DLC on the way. There's a lot of adventure to get through if you're planning on tackling it all before you get to ride a dragon, but from what we hear, it's totally worth it.
Painkiller: Complete Pack (66% Off)
Painkiller: Complete Pack (66% Off)
Retailer: Steam
Price: $16.99 (66% Off)

Already deemed too violent for the sensitive and fragile people of Germany, Painkiller: Hell and Damnation is about as over-the-top explosive as you can get. Including the aformetioned bloodfest, plus all of its predecessors, the Complete Pack on sale will give you more than enough balls-to-the-wall action than you'll know what to do with.
Total War: Shogun 2 Collection (75% Off)
Total War: Shogun 2 Collection (75% Off)
Retailer: GetGamesGo
Price: $12.49 (75% Off)
Link: http://bit.ly/11goYhX
We've already declared Total War: Shogun 2 one of the best PC games of all time, but let's take another moment to bask in its awesome, feudal glory. If you're on an Akira Kurosawa kick or just want to watch a bunch of samurai hack each other to bits at your bidding, this one's worth looking at.
Fable and Fable 3 Bundle (83% Off)
Fable and Fable 3 Bundle (83% Off)
Retailer: Amazon
Price: $9.99 (83% Off)

Peter Molyneux has made a name for himself by making big promises and missing the mark, but for the most part Fable 2 did deliver a pretty solid experience. The connection you built with your dog remains one of the most powerful relationships in gaming and the moral elements were interesting to think about. Fable 2's definitely worth picking up again... wait, nevermind. This is Fable 3... It's kinda awful... At least it's cheap though!
Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition (75% Off)
Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition (75% Off)
Retailer: Gamestop
Price: $4.99 (75% Off)
Link: http://bit.ly/VvC6be
If you're gearing up for the superbowl and want to inject a little extra fantasy in your fantasy league, Blood Bowl is an awesome choice. In addition to being a faithful adaptation of the board game (and remastered edition of the original), it's also one of the best violent sports games ever.
Legend of Grimrock (66% Off)
Legend of Grimrock (66% Off)
Retailer: Steam
Price: $5.09 (66% Off)

You may remember this one from the 7th Humble Indie Bundle, but if you missed getting it for the price you'd like, it's down to $5 on Steam this weekend. Fans of classic dungeon crawlers full of puzzles and exciting turn-based combat will appreciate this retro-revival.
5-Game Xbox Live Arcade Indie Bundle (86% Off)
5-Game Xbox Live Arcade Indie Bundle (86% Off)
Retailer: Amazon
Price: $9.99 (86% Off)
Link: http://amzn.to/11A4cVb
Most of the time we feature PC deals only in this weekly feature, but Amazon's deal on XBLA titles this week is too good to pass up sharing. Including five excellent indie hits from various Summer of Arcade promotions, you'll be getting Mark of the Ninja, Iron Brigade, Toy Soldiers, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, and DEADLIGHT for less than the price of one.
Antichamber (25% Off)
Antichamber (25% Off)
Retailer: Steam
Price: $14.99 (25% Off)

It's been a long time coming (about five years actually), but Antichamber is finally here. Already receiving praise from the IGF for its technical excellence earlier last year, the game's shaping up to be one of the most important indie games of this year. If you're interested in getting in on the ground floor, developer Alexander Bruce is having a launch sale on steam, cutting a quarter off its price.
