(All rights reserved - Positech Games)

Plenty of bargains on offer this weekend, not least of which is Gratuitous Space Battles and all its accoutrements for 25 percent of the usual price at Steam - grab it before the discount expires, and pick up the free Alien Swarm at the same time. 

Also worth checking up on are Machinarium at Amanita Design, Mount & Blade Warband at Direct2Drive, Titan Quest, Torchlight and The Witcher at GamersGate, Jagged Alliance 2 and the later Earth titles at Good Old Games, and the first Victoria game at Impulse, timed nicely to coincide with the upcoming sequel's release.
