After a busy last few weeks, things on the new PC game release front slow down a tad for this week. In addition to the games listed below you can also get the Fallout 3: Game Of The Year edition this week which has the original game and all five previously released downloadable mini-expansions. Also this week comes another collection of previously released material, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Collection.

NBA 2K10: While EA has pretty much abandoned the PC market for its sports games, 2K Sports is releasing their latest pro basketball game for PC owners as well as their console audience. Sports game developers Visual Concepts are in charge of this title which has features like updates and news that will reflect the real NBA season.

Dreamkiller: Developer Mindware Studios, who created the 2007 FPS Painkiller Overdose, returns to the Painkiller engine for this all original shooter for publisher Aspyr. This time you play a character who goes into the minds of some seriously screwed up people who apparently need someone to shoot the weird creatures inside their heads. The game is only available via download from Steam and comes with Steam leaderboards and achievements.

Machinarium: This adventure game with the cool art design comes from developers at Amanita Design who previously created the acclaimed browser indie adventure title Samorost2. In short there's lots of robots and lots of puzzles to solve.
