Weekend Game Deals – August 24, 2012

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 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. It will be $5 well spent.
