There's more than one weekend game download sale going on. Both Steam and Direct2Drive are offering a special deal on pre-ordering Far Cry 2, the upcoming Ubisoft open world shooter that's due out later this fall. If you pre-order the game in full from either one of those download services, you can get the original Far Cry game for free.'
This is the original 2004 release that was the first game from developer Crytek and the first to use their Cryengine software. That game took place on an island, had mutant humans roaming about and while it had large outdoor levels it wasn't an open world like Far Cry 2's Africa setting. This free game offer, (worth about $10) is only for Labor Day weekend only; this offer expires on Tuesday.
