“MOAR DEALZ!” you say? Well, there are a bunch of deals over at Steam just waiting to empty your wallet of that hard-earned cash. Fortunately, there are some cheap deals and there is that whole drawing thing where you can get the top ten games on your wishlist for free.

For those not aware, Crysis 2 was pulled from Steam due to EA and Valve acting like small children. So if you have it in your Top 10 Wishlist, you’ll need to replace it with something else or there’s a chance you might not win. The rules aren’t exactly clear on what happens in such an event. I’d assume the 11th item is selected, but better to be safe than disqualified.

Anyway, here are my recommendations:

Counter-Strike: Source
Company of Heroes
Lara Croft Franchise
Audiosurf
Quake Collection
Command & Conquer Franchise

And today’s freebie is: Download a trailer and then play it. Any trailer will do. I recall Valve attempting this the last time they had a similar contest and had to redact the particular event due to technical issues, so it was inevitable for it to come up again this time around.

Yes, it is once again Friday and I won’t lie to you, the game Lead and Gold looks rather violent and seems to go overkill on the blood. It looks like a western team deathmatch third-person shooter. If you are able to stomach the advertised amounts of blood and want to try something that is only in beta, Lead and Gold is free to try and play this weekend and on sale for 50% off.

On Monday, July 19, 2010, Valve will release a new game called Alien Swarm via Steam. A four player co-op, third-person shooter involving lots and lots of gooey, slimy, scaly aliens. And the best part is that Alien Swarm is supposedly going to be free.
