Valve makes some of the most beloved video games out there today and GameFly is bringing you a bunch of them for super cheap!

•  Click here to get 75% off the Valve Orange Box @ GameFly.com

For the people not in the know, the Orange Box is a collection of five games from Valve. The description from GameFly is as follows:

The Orange Box is a bundle that includes five titles from Valve: Half-Life 2; Half-Life 2: Episode 1; Half-Life 2: Episode Two; Team Fortress 2, the sequel to the game that put class-based, multiplayer team warfare on the map; and Portal, the game that blends puzzles, first person action, and adventure gaming to produce an experience like no other.

Those are some really good titles for only $4.99. Normally you’d pay $19.99 for this but you’re saving $15!

That’s not the only great deal though. Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2,Counter Strike: Source and Portal 2 are also discounted $15 from $19.99. Those are some awesome title for only $4.99.  There are also five other games on sale for as low as $1.25!

This isn’t like the tower defence games you remember from back in the day. This is awesome and it’s from Steam!

• Click here to pre-order Prime World: Defenders @ Steam.com

The game is normally $14.99 but the 20% off saves you $3 and you only pay $11.99. You also get some cool sounding DLC and access to the beta. This is pre-order so the game only activates on 21st May 2013. It’s a digital download for PC or Mac so there is no shipping.

So when I say this is awesome, I mean it. You just need to look at the list of features to see that. The whole list is a bit long but I included it because I think it explains the game quite well.

• A mix of tower defense strategy with collectible card mechanics!
• No micro-transactions or additional payments!
• Random cards drop means different strategy for every player!
• Upgrade and mix cards for maximum destruction!
• Custom deck lets you pick perfect cards for each mission!
• Perk system for your hero!
• Story-based campaign with 23 missions!
• Mission generator offers infinite replayability!
• Enemy buildings in game heal and buff attacking creeps!
• 20 towers, each with up to 25 upgrades!
• 11 magic spells that can be upgraded too!
• 36 types of enemies!
• Bosses, mini-bosses and huge bosses.
• Flying battleship!

And if that wasn’t enough, here’s a trailer!

The game seems really innovative in a genre that really is kind of boring. There is only so much you can do with a tower defence game but these guys have created what looks like a compelling experience.

Have you played portal? Portal 2? Was it worthy of GotY in your opinion? Hit us up in the comments and let us know!

Listen, we all know Orcs Must Die, but why must it cost so much to kill said orcs? It never made sense to me and, apparently, never made sense to Steam either because they are selling it for 75% off!

•  Click here to buy Orcs Must Die! 2 @ SteamPowered.com

I first heard about this game (I think) on the now defunct Game On! show on TWiT Networks and it looked really cool. Actually, I think they were talking about the original Orcs Must Die! Basically it’s a tower defense game with totally new mechanics. Wikipedia, the book of knowledge, has this to say about it’s predecessor but it still holds true to the second:

It is a tower defense game that eschews the traditional top-down view of similar games, instead using a third-person action-oriented viewpoint

It’s really hard to explain this game in words, so here, watch a gameplay video of the Orcs Must Die! 2 demo with some explanatory commentary!

Pretty awesome, eh? Yeah, I thought so too! This is a great game and for only $3.75, you can’t miss. It’s a steal at the original $15 but saving $11.25 isn’t a bad thing!

Prices are in USD.

Steam Powered has two weekend deals for PC computer games: (1) get 50% off Football Manager 2013 – Originally $39.99, it is on sale for $19.99. (2) Get 66% off the Max Payne 3 originally $39.99, it is on sale for $13.57.

• Click here to check out the Football Manager 2013

• Click here to pick up the Max Payne 3

I’m not very familiar with either of these games – in fact I have only heard of Max Payne and I am completely unfamiliar with Football Manager. However, Max Payne has received a 87/100 metascore which is pretty good. According to reviewer Vandal Online:

Fans of Max Payne in PC can be happy. Rockstar has done its homework and this is not just a port. All the virtues of the console version are here, but its graphics have been greatly improved and with a powerful machines we can enjoy an spectacle. If you like action games and your PC is up-to-date, this is a great acquisition.

Football Manager also has a metascore of 86/100 which lands it in the ‘very solid game’ camp. If you love football you might wast to give this a try, according to reviewer Vandal Online:

With the biggest database of football players and teams, Football Manager 2013 brings back the best of the previous episode to improve and expand it. The only thing we could complain about is the 3D graphics, which we consider should have been better, but still it leaves us with a feeling of almost perfection.

All prices in USD.

For this weekend only on Steam, they’re offering the digital download of the popular game Batman: Arkham City for half price.

• Click here to get Batman: Arkham City @ Steam now

Previously, the full game alone was $29.99, and it’s now $14.99. If you opt for the bundle with some extra DLC, it ‘s down to $29.99.

This deal is for PC users only, and you can see the full spec required on the above link.

I’ve played the predecessor to this game, Arkham Asylum, and it was great fun. However, as the game was a console port, I don’t think the PC based controls really showed me the full experience. There was a lot of keyboard mashing during the fight scenes, with an AWFUL lot of slamming of the space bar. This time, when I play Arkham City, I am going to plug a gamepad into my PC to get a better experience of the game.

In the first game, I particularly enjoyed finding all the Riddler’s clues, and exploring the asylum. I hope there’s more of the same in this sequel!

I’ve just purchased this on Steam myself, so it will be on my to-do list this coming weekend, for a bit of downtime!

Get the puzzle game Portal free for your Mac or Pc computer for a couple more days! Usually portal would cost $19.99, but currently it is free!

• Get Portal from Steam

Thank you to robotafterall for posting about this on the community forum.

About the game:

Portal is a single player game from Valve. Set in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, Portal has been called one of the most innovative new games on the horizon and will offer gamers hours of unique gameplay. The game is designed to change the way players approach, manipulate, and surmise the possibilities in a given environment; similar to how Half-Life® 2′s Gravity Gun innovated new ways to leverage an object in any given situation. Players must solve physical puzzles and challenges by opening portals to maneuvering objects, and themselves, through space.

Portal is free through the 20th, September 2011. Get it while you can.
