This weekend only, pick up Egosoft's X3: Terran Conflict for 50% off. Oh, and Velvet Assassin is also 50% off. And Men at War is 75% off. It's a salestraviganza!


I reviewed X3 a few months back, finding it an experience not entirely made for me. It's almost like an offline version of EVE Online, with enough content to give any prospective astronaut a few years of fun. It's massive, and as much of a simulation to the experience as 2001: A Space Odyssey is. In other words, it's slow, and makes you really feel like you're flying through space. For $19.99, it's a bit more worthy of a purchase, if not just to test out a gaming rig.

Velvet Assassin might also be worth at least considering for half price, even though it left me more than a little dissapointed. As for Men at War? The game's 80% score on Metacritic means it's likely worth a nab, even if most people haven't heard of it.
