Steam is having a 10% off sale on new Ubisoft releases until September 3rd. 8.99 for Splinter Cell Chaos Theory....Sold!
Also, 25% off THQ pack with Warhammer 40k game included in the deal.

That's funny, because that's the Splinter Cell game that I hated.

I think Chaos Theory has been the strongest of the serie so far. Not to forget the astonishing soundtrack by Amon Tobin. I have that game as retail but Starforce copy protection is quite a letdown. Not sure if it works anymore on Vista/7 as I haven't touched it since. Steam version sounds tempting. Double Agent was quite a disappointment as I bought it earlier this year from Steam when it was 5 euros something...
Gotta wait for GoG weekend deal first and then make decisions... :)
Play.com seems to have Company of Heroes anthology for 12,99 euros now so I might consider getting that too. I've seen the original CoH game but haven't tried those expansion packs. I might do that with that cheap price. Probably doesn't get much lower than that.

I always prefered the first one over all the others. I can't wait for Conviction though. THAT is badass.

Well ok, first one was the innovative game but got bit tiring towards the end. Second part (Pandora Tomorrow was it?) was bit spiritless compared to dark and murky first part. I guess I should just install and play them again and see how well they are worn. :)
Not to go to too much offtopic, still glad to see that those games are available at some form without that disgusting copy protection. Yeah yeah, it is some sort of a milestone to Starforce guys as it took quite long to get it broken but... For gamers it's not that much fun now as those games probably don't work anymore. Probably I'd have to buy the game again to get it to work. At least I bought that box version on discounts for like 12 euros or something, so it wouldn't be that big loss...

When can we see the new GOG weekend deal?

There most likely isn't a weekend deal this week as they are running a week long deal instead.

And...cue the panicky posts about how the lack of a weekend deal clearly indicates problems with GoG.

AAAAaaaAAAaaaaAAAAHH! Obviously there has to be a problem with GOG!
Honestly, some wallets need a rest. I was kind of glad the offer was a game I already owned.

Probably the best deal ever on Steam...Might buy Sniper Elite....

I wonder why those Steam weekend deals nowadays are almost ALWAYS on those 7x/100 Metacritic games? Kinda feels like buying cheap (not so special) food compared to AA class good branded stuff for 49,99 euros. The Metacritic score certainly helps picking up those AA games (which you can notice by the price for most of the time though...) but I don't see how it's good for business of those "not so special" games... Of course maybe once a month there is a exception to that but... Also that Ubisoft "sale" is quite "look at us, we finally located Europe though we are French" sale with not much discounts as money but rather just for promo purposes. I guess they are selling something but why not sell even more...
Anyways, got my Company of Heroes Anthology pack ordered. I hope it arrives some time next week. Joy of Steam etc. would be to get it to run NOW but with quite steep pricing, naw...
There is my rant for the weekend. I guess I go play games now, they keep stacking up with those darned sales. Beyond Good and Evil is still on first save point. Need to get it further than that!

Personally, I like how the Weekend Deals are usually also-rans. It gives games that were dwarved by the competition a chance to be recognised.

It's good for business because it can grab some gamer's attention (particularly the impulse buyers) who were previously unwilling to pay full price or still undecided to get the game; plus extra coverage from various game bargain sites. Usually the publisher still gets decent profit from the sale period (less profit per unit, but higher volume of sales).

So there will be no weekend deal on GoG this week? I only ask because I wanted to wait a bit before I buy Earthworm Jim. Not that I buy it and then some minutes later it is announced as the weekend deal. :D

The deal this week is the Hidden Gem deal (which I caved in on and bought) and the Unreal games. There will be no new deals now until after the 31st.
