Weekend PC download deals: Tomb Raider and Dawn of War photo

After the daily sales that THQ has been running and the irresistible discount on Duke Nukem Forever... yeah, anyway, it's almost a relief that the weekend has come again -- but then you look at Steam and realize your wallet still isn't safe.

On Steam this weekend, there's big discounts on some of the more recent Tomb Raider games developed by Crystal Dynamics, celebrating the franchise's 15th anniversary. You've got Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, and Tomb Raider: Underworld all reduced by 66%. I have to be honest, it's a long time since I've considered playing a Tomb Raider game but Crystal Dynamics' efforts have been fairly well praised so this offer could be tempting.  

THQ is rounding off its week-long sale with a big 50% discount on the Dawn of War franchise, including all DLC and expansions. To top things off, Dawn of War II is free this weekend so if you're on the fence about whether or not to buy the game, play it and make your mind up. If you're in the UK and you're wanting to save some cash on either downloads or physical copies of game, you need to keep an eye out on Simon Julian's blog where he keeps track of where you can save some hard earned cash on some great games.

God, I still have that immortal crush on Ms. Croft. <3

Legend sucked, Anniversary and Underworld were really good. Can't wait for Tomb Raider 2012!

Many <3 for the shout out, and people really should pick up at least one of the DoW games, great titles

@Epic-KX: I'm really interested in the new reboot. Feel like I should pick up at least one of these games to see what the pre-reboot Tomb Raider games were like.

@Simon: no probs buddy, you do some great work.

I found Last Remnant deal to be more appealing than tomb raider

Legend was decent at the time of realease, is awful today. Anniversary is good, Underworld is awesome - the best TR game since Last Revelation and Chronicles. Rather short, though.
I'm really intrigued by the new game, though it's sad that Underworld formula won't be evolved further

Thanks for the tip. Would have totally overlooked it. Wanted to give it a try since its release. 30+ hours of my life going down the shitter ^^

I enjoyed Anniversary quite a bit. Enough to justify the $3 or so price tag on it.

They have to reduce these PC games so much because no one wants to buy them. Not because of piracy, but because they lack achievements or a decent achievement system (not the crappy Steam ones). That's the genius of GFWL, but you elitist PC snobs had to kill it.

I might finally pick up DoW2. I really liked Company of heroes, but I've never been into Warhammer all that much.

Sure, I'll bank on DoW2. Should be a good time!
