Gentlemen. I have been to the mountaintop. And upon that same mountaintop I was spoken to- nay, TOUCHED! By the hand of hand of gaming. I crossed my chest from the W, to the S to the A and D and a voice told me that digital distribution is truly the future, and to put faith in those who deliver me from the tyranny of evil shovelware. That voice comes back to me today as I gladly inform you of the Steam Sale this weekend.

Get this fellows. I-Fluid, Multiwinia, Trials 2, Gravitron 2, and Eets all in ONE pack. For the price of £6.95.  80% off. EIGHTY PERCENT.

Just a quick summary for those who have no idea what the hell these are and why they need them. First up, Multiwinia is the fantastic sequel to the wonderous Darwinia, something of an RTS lite. I-Fluid is a lovely little casual game wherein you control a drop of water trying to get to the end of various fun levels attempting to avoid absorption from various substances, such as the dreaded meat. Trials 2 Second Edition is just that, a trials motorbike game. Racing and flipping has never been so fun. Gravitron 2 is the game designed to make you mutilate your keyboard with your face, you know those games where you control a spaceship.. in a cavern and across planetary surfaces (I wonder why these retro games use a goddamn spaceship to explore planets.. on the inside.). Annoying it may be, but it’s really- really fun and wondrously rewarding when a level is done. Eets is a cute little casual game that can only really be described as Lemmings meets The Incredible Machine.

Buy them, get them, play them.

Some of you may remember me mentioning something about Left 4 Dead in the first podcast episode. Specifically, I believe I said something along the lines of “I’m not paying $50 for a mod when I got the entire Orange Box for $40.” If you’re one of the very few people who agreed with me, pop open your Steam store and jump for joy, because Left 4 Dead is 50% off this weekend.

brb, grabbin pills.

This weekend, get your hands on some good old fashioned murdering and street racing in the Rockstar Collection. Everything inside is also separately discounted too Bar GTA1, GT2 and Wild Metal, so if you’re just looking for your GTA4 fix then look no further because this is probably the cheapest you’re going to get it, and with the recent patch stated to have increased performance somewhat significantly, it’s unlikely there’ll be a better time.

Just for the unsure the collection includes GTA1, GTA2, GTA3, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas,  GTA IV, Manhunt, Max Payne, Max Payne 2, Midnight Club 2 and Wild Arms.

It’s not all of it – I know, but for the low low price of £38.49/$69.99/€69.99 it’s hard to not buy it.. except for our European bretheren, you might want to find a good trusted friend from either the US or the UK to gift it to you and you send them the money.. Steam is kind of skewed against the europeans at the moment.

Click Here to buy it.

And click here if you feel that 1€ ≠ 1$

That’s the title. I’m serious. The name of the game is AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity or Aaaaa! for short as the developers have indicated.

It’s a base-jumping game from Dejobaan Games, developers of The Wonderful End of the World. If you’ve never heard of that game, do yourself a favor and head over to Steam and pick it up. It’s a stupid cheap knockoff of Katamari Damacy that’s far easier to control and retains it’s own sense of quirky humor that may or may not be expected from an indie developer such as this. Graphically, it’s not comparable, but it’s still fun if you’re looking for that kind of kick.

So, now that you’ve done that (and you have done that), we can take a look at Aaaaa!

It looks like Mount and Blade is on sale right now, and after one of you guys gave it a glowing review, I think I’ll give it a shot.

I’m installing it right now. If you’re looking for something to fill a boring weekend, why not give it a try?
