A ridiculous 23 additional games are on sale this weekend (30 total). Weekend Gamez is dedicated to those weekend gaming deals that occasionally show up. This weekend, GoGamer is the center of attention with their infamous “48 Hour Madness sale“. Unfortunately, the 48 Hour Madness sales have the tendency to look like “we are trying really hard to get rid of inventory of games that aren’t that great”. To aid you in the quest to filter the junk from the good stuff, games listed below have a 75% or above Metacritic rating and less than $20 per game. No opinions are ever made on the games listed.

Don’t forget that yesterday’s Halloween gaming and food deals are still on.

If you were to buy all 23 games listed here today, it would cost roughly $124.30 (S&H overlap calculated) or roughly $5.40 each and a zombie will eat your brain. BRAAAAAINS!
