Thing I love about PC gaming #143: buying old games and buying a new games feels the same. Games get cheaper, but they don't tumble into bargain bins. They get re-promoted. Communities of fans stick around for years. When Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II was added to Steam (opens in new tab) this week, we celebrated. Today, it's in the top sellers list. The PC is where games go to thrive, on and on.
Oh, and we also spend less on them, new or old. This week in game deals: Civilization V, Grand Theft Auto IV, Torchlight, The Walking Dead, and more!
This week's best deals | ► | GTA IV, Civ V, Torchlight, and more |
If I may make a suggestion: grab GTA IV for $5, gather a few friends, and set up a no-friction car mod footrace (opens in new tab) . It will be $5 well spent.
