If you just want a couple games to get you through the long weekend, today’s X-COM deal should do that for you. But if you need something a little more… substantial, which includes the X-COM games, may I take the liberty, sir, of recommending this 2K games pack? $54 is a substantial sum, to be sure, but consider what you are receiving:
- Bioshock
- Civilization III, IV and all expansions
- Prey
- Sid Meier’s Pirates (actually fun)
- Every X-COM game
Among others. Considering you’re not only getting a ton of games, but a few of the most replayable games in history, this should tide you over for a bit.
The pack is $54 for a week (until July 7), at which point the price reverts to $60. So actually, there’s not much of a hurry. Warning to Australian readers: it doesn’t work for you due to different companies publishing the games down there.

$54 is a substantial sum?
In Australia we are so screwed over
$110 new release regurdless of quality
$75-89 poorly selling or older release
$50 – 69 on sale older games
$20 bargain basement rubbish
ownt
Well it’s a nice package of games for that price. There’s a lot of crap in there of course – I’m not sure exactly why anyone needs both Civ III and Civ IV or every version of Railroad Tycoon that has ever come out, but if you are a Civ fan it’s probably worth it, and you get Bioshock, Prey and Freedom Force which are all very decent games. It’s only a $6 discount off the regular package price though, so it’s not like anyone needs to rush out and get it.
I’m more excited by the Fallout 3 half-price sale this weekend. If only my laptop were up to the task, I’d jump on that.
