The download Christmas Blitz is on : Free Weekend of Brink from Steam , buy the game 75% off and Terraria 75% off too!

Brink is one of the finest online experiences you never played , and this weekend you have no excuse as the game is free to play on Steam , shame then that the iD Tech 5 engine it uses can not run on Intel HD powered laptops and machines , but hey for those of you with OpenGL 3.1 and above GPUS , Brink is an amazing way to spend your weekend , think Luc Besson ( in his Banlieue 13 phase) meets Quake III meets the Love Boat minus dwarf, and you have a very cool online/offline  FPS , with a unique art style , a player helping player ethic built into the game ground up , and did I mention Steam have knocked 75% off the price this weekend . 


Dude that's cheaper than a sandwich these days! All those Android and iOS apps are starting to look expensive compared to PC games , Steam also have the 2d Minecraft inspired Terraria for 75% less than usual , and that makes it cheaper than your bus ride home.Purchasing a daily deal entitles you to be entered into a daily wish list giveaway ,so get updating yours!


As always in Gabe we trust  , just get the Steam Streaming service up and running for our 100s of Steam games purchased over the years and we have the perfect game delivery service , maybe Valve can get together with Approxy and their up and coming 1080p 3d cloud gaming tech

From Dust is 50% off on Steam today

Once you reach a certain level of purchases on Steam , i.e. you have most of the publisher packs , and games you are interested in , your interest starts to wane , your attention turns elsewhere this year for instance I will be spending more money on Good Old Games 50% sale than on Steam's .  This does not mean that the old boys of digital distribution cannot throw up a gem or two , today I have my first purchase , From Dust which coming  from legendary game designer Eric Chahi, is a must have.


The Steam folks are aware of the game  purchasing ennui that sets in after several  years of being a Steam customer  and thus of late sales have been accompanied with  user interaction events designed to get you  moving around the site and interacting with  other users. This attempt to socialize Steam use is very necessary as Valve want and need to  riff off the social network vibe. However the very nature of downloading   up to twenty gigs of a game at a time means Steam is at a great disadvantage, as  rival  onlive allows you to play near instantly and has social gaming at a level that core gamers who are not your typical Facebook  gamer,  are comfortable with.With onlive you watch live games and  can have people watch, listen, and talk, as  well as record your game play and across every internet enabled device you are  likely to own.So whilst Ironed rot say no to anyone gifting  me every game on Steam,  I would rather have every game on onlive why? Think of the installing re-installing, patching, time land cost of hardware upgrades that traditional download based PC and now  ios and Android gaming entails.

Onlive vs Steam: Onlive has Assassin`s Creed 2 for £1.75 vs Steams encore

Assassin's Creed 2 is instantly yours for £1.75 if you are an onlive subscriber or £2.50 if you aren't, and if you are old skool there's always the Steam encore.
