Even if you’re not a fan of Steam like I am, they’ve got a deal this weekend too good to pass up. Four games for $9.99 – that means you’re getting some great games for $2.50 each.<\/p>\n

Three of the four games here are ones I’ve talked about before on this site, and they definitely fall within my “keepers” category. Firstly, Far Cry. This is the original PC version, far different from the console versions. Even if you think you might not like it – it’s only $2.50!<\/p>\n

Secondly, Beyond Good and Evil, which I’ve raved about far more than I ever should have. I won’t gush more in this post, but it’s worth significantly more than the $2.50 you’d pay for a box of string cheese<\/a>. I’ve bought four copies over the years, and played it 5 times.<\/p>\n

Third, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. While it had its minor annoyances, I really enjoyed the gameplay. I got the game, which was originally $50, for $12.50 at Target and jumped for joy at my bargain-hunting prowess. Later, I got another copy on the cheap from Steam. But I paid more than $2.50.<\/p>\n

Lastly, IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946, which is some kind of flight simulator. No idea.<\/p>\n

Anyway, if you’ve not played these games, I’d seriously jump on Steam’s weekend deal here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
