Sillysoft Games is back on the job after a world tour. To gear back into things we're offering up our entire game catalog in an amazing mega sale. For the next two weeks, it's just $4.99 for a game bundle that includes Lux Delux, American History Lux, Ancient Empires Lux, and our latest game Castle Vox.

Note: These are the Mac / PC / Linux versions of the games.

Lux Delux and Castle Vox both include online multi-player modes. Match your skills online against brilliant strategic minds from around the world!

Lux is a risk-like game with a shedload of maps.

I thought Castle Vox was great, would recommend it as a good advanced Risk game with alot of cool maps.

For the next 16 hours or so, use HITMN-ABSOL-UTION on GreenMan Gaming to pre-order Hitman: Absolution for $36. Release date is 11/20. Greenman says it's Steamworks, but I can't find official confirmation on that (although the pre-order bonus "sniper challenge" is, so it seems likely). Good price, though.

EDIT: GamersGate lists it as Steamworks as well, so I consider that solid.

[Papageno]

D'oh! I missed the sale price on Aaaa...for the Awesome--guess I'll have to wait for the Steam Summer Sale (which I'm calling right now as starting 2 weeks from today).

[lordkosc]

indeed.... soon!

[Papageno]

indeed.... soon!

Love it.

For this who didn't take advantage of Green Man Gaming's 23% discount on Civ V's expansion Gods & Kings earlier this week can take advantage of Get Games' 27% discount on it. They're also offering the base game (non-GoTY) for 75% off.

Mysterio, did you actually use GetGames? If not have you used them before?

I've never used them, so I can't comment on the quality of their service. But I don't remember people who have used them voicing damning concerns. The base game and expansion both require Steam, so you won't need to worry about downloading the game from Get Games or having another digital library to manage, if that's your concern.

[Armiger]

Steam has Driver San Francisco for 7.49, 75% off. What are the chances it might be lower during the summer sale?

[Locker K]

Slim to none. 75% off is usually the max on big name titles so there would have to be a drop in the base price.

[Armiger]

Yeah, but its possible they lower the base to $20 and take 75% off of that. Whatever though, I picked up the deluxe edition for 8.74 and installing now.

[Giaddon]

Use SLEEP-INGDO-GSTEN at Greenman Gaming in the next 24 hours to pre-order Sleeping Dogs for $36. 8/14 release date, Steamworks.

Cargo!: Quest for Gravity (Ice-pick Lodge's "fun" game), is $5 on GamersGate.

Legend of Fae, and adorable and pretty darn good match3/RPG, is $5 at GamersGate.

GameFly has a new set of summer deals, including Singularity ($7.50), Deus Ex: HE ($7.50), Fallout 3, Game of the Year ($10), and more.

A tower defense game with a twist, Unstoppable Gorg is 50% off at GamersGate. Well worth it for those who like tower defense games.

Worlds of Ultima 1: Savage Empire is also offered free.

Awesome! I shall revive Origin to its former glory!

I'll let you know how it goes.

[Murph]

Worlds of Ultima 1: Savage Empire is also offered free.

This actually might have been the first Ultima game I played, if memory serves right. Never played Martian Dreams, though. Went back and played IV and V, and 6 was one of my favorite games ever.

I miss that.

What do you think about the Indie Fort Bundle #2? http://www.gamersgate.com/indiefort-bundle. It's $5.99 for 3079, Fortix 2, Aztaka, Dark Scavenger, Demise: Ascension, and Intrusion 2.

I remember liking the demise games a lot (Mordor, Rise of the Ku'tan, etc.).

Haven't played any of them, but they look interesting enough to justify a dollar per game.

I enjoyed Fortix and Fortix 2...mindless fun based on Qix.

[KiloOhm]

3079 has enough interesting ideas to at least try out, if you can get over the graphics.

Rock Paper Shotgun on Dark Scavenger. I bought it. It's weird and neat and fun. I'm thinking this bundle is probably worth it for that alone.

[Nightgaunt]

Aztaka was okay, maybe edging up to good. It's definitely unique.

[Giaddon]

Last hurrah of the Gamefly summer sale. Too many deals to list here, but there's some good stuff.

[Telefrog]

For anyone interested, the GetGamesGo offer for Civ V Gods and Kings at 27% off worked. I plugged the serial number into Steam this morning.
