Sweden used to be famous for three things; ABBA, Ikea, and statuesque blondes. Now there's a thriving videogame development scene happening and GamersGate is having a Swedish Developer Week promotion, reducing titles like Just Cause 2, Renegade Ops, and Sanctum.

Sweden's also getting a lot of love on Steam, specifically publisher Paradox Interactive with a special daily deal happening this weekend. Today, it's the turn of those lovable, crazy wizards from Magicka with 75% off the franchise. Wouldn't be surprised if the Mount and Blade series was tomorrow's deal.

Publisher Anuman is the subject of GOG.com's weekend promotion, with 50% off their games including Still Life and Syberia. As always my friends, if you find some great PC weekend deals, post them below in the comments.

I've really wanted to pick up Magicka on Steam but dammit after HIB V I have a lot of other stuff to play. One day, Magicka. One day...

I really need to play through Syberia 1 and 2. I have them on Xbox, but they're stuck in that eternal pile of shame.

According to a study that I read way back in school, it was said that the most famous swede according to the Americans was... The Swedish Chef from the Muppets... and that is just sad since he's not even a Swedish creation.
We're a proud country. Home to things like... The Graaf Sisters

I'm surprised at how awesome Europe in general is at making really good games! They don't suffer the iron grip that the American corporations seem to have on creative freedom in their titles. Thankyou Europe! You are my only hope!

Sweden is the home of my favorite band, Covenant.

Though Gunther is pretty awesome, too, lol.
