Among many things we love video games for allowing us to be an escape from reality in one sense or another. But the beauty is, they don't have to take us to another galaxy, fantasy underground kingdom or completely reversed reality (although we do love these as well). Sometimes games can bring us lots of fun while not landing too far away from our day-to-day physical existence.

This weekend, prepare to be blown away by titles with discounts as high as -90%, gathered in our Modern Times Sale, which present us which settings are either established in our reality, times not too far off from it, or fictional worlds with clear potential to be believable in comparison to presentness. What games can you expect? Let us give you some examples:

SWAT 3: Tactical Game of the Year Edition (-35%)
Become an LAPD SWAT officer in this first-person action simulator, where you must have a deep and abiding reverence for human life and a firm resolve that all possible tactical alternatives be exhausted before employing deadly force. Your fundamental mission is to make Los Angeles a safe haven for all law-abiding citizens, while keeping the men under your command free from harm.

Jagged Alliance (-90%)
No introduction needed to this one. Iconic turn-based strategy where you are called by scientist Jack Richards and his lovely daughter Brenda to the island of Metavira, where the Fallow trees, precious, medicinal sap on which countless lives depend on, are under the control of the evil and traitorous Santino. You must hand-pick a commando force of mercenaries and take back the island by force

Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded (-75%)
First point-and-click adventure with one of the most iconic characters in the history of computer gaming Leisure Suit Larry but expanded and enhanced in every detail and ready to rock your world. Explore the life of Larry and his steamy, humour-packed adventures.

The Great Perhaps (-90%)
Immerse yourself in a story of an astronaut returning to Earth destroyed by natural cataclysms. This adventure, sci-fi puzzle title will let you experience constant time traveling between an empty, melancholic scenery of the post-apocalyptic Earth and its vivid days gone by. Perfectly interesting scenario to explore in a video game and the one we hope will never come true.

The Suicide of Rachel Foster (-85%)
It’s 1993, Lewis & Clark Country, Montana, US. Ten years ago, teenager Nicole and her mother left the family hotel after discovering her father Leonard's affair with, and pregnancy of Rachel, a girl her own age who eventually committed suicide. Now that both of her parents have passed, Nicole hopes to fulfill her mother’s last will to sell the hotel and make amends to Rachel's relatives. She returns to the hotel with the family’s lawyer to audit the decaying structure. But as the weather unexpectedly turns for the worst, Nicole has no way to leave the large mountain lodge, and finds support in Irving, a young FEMA agent, using one of the first radio telephones ever built. With his help, Nicole starts to investigate a mystery far deeper than what people in the valley thought. A story of love and death, where melancholy and nostalgia melt into a thrilling ghost tale.
