Get your game socks on kids, the deals are in full swing for this weekend and the week that follows.  As always, I direct your attention to Steam where you’ll find the best sales this side of sale-town.  For this weekend only, you too can be the proud owner of your very own copy of The Secret of Monkey Island for just $4.99.  This is the remake, folks.  Voice acting, better graphics, the same dry humor and raw wit that made you fall in love with [and simultaneously groan at] the original SoMI.

If the point and click thing isn’t your sort, then fear not.. there is always more!  Until the 21st, Steam also has Garry’s Mod on sale for a very delicious price of $4.99 as well!  Now that’s something I could really bit into and then gently gnaw on until all the juices are turned to spit.  Garry’s Mod, for those not in the know, is a sandbox plethera of awesome.  Build your own levels, invite your friends into custome games and do it all with models from such classics like Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, and Half-Life.   Zombie Tetris is always a favorite of mine, but feel free to explore the possibilities now that the price has been reduced!

Another Excuse to Stay Indoors

As of September 9th, 2009, the DnD based MMO, Dungeons & Dragons Ebberon Unlimited, has gone from pay to play to free unlimited play.  This is good news in a world of wallet emptying MMO’s that I am sure many gamers around the world are thrilled to hear.  The only downside to the free-to-play MMO is that there is a small micro economy where you will have to pay to unlock certain races, classes and a host of other features by purchasing Turbine points.   If you would prefer not to take the easy route and pay for your upgrades, it is possible to earn your Turbine Points by doing quests and earning rep. within the game.

Another way to enjoy the full experience would be to take part in the monthly subscription program and become a DDO VIP.  The cost is $14.99 per month but it will allow you access to all the content that DDO has to offer.

You can sign up for your free account Here, and join the rest of the world in dice rolling, level grinding, dungeon crawling fun.

Now with 100% less chance of breaking or losing installation disks!

 Charge up those light sabers and prepare yourself for a battle against the Dark Side.
