GoG.com's weekend sales deal is one of the best, if not the best, they have offered so far. From now until the end of the day on Monday, the DRM-free game download site is giving a 25 percent discount on all of their Interplay action games.

The games in the sale include Die by the Sword, Earthworm Jim 1 + 2, Earthworm Jim 3D, MDK, MDK 2, Messiah and Shattered Steel. Simple put one or more of these games in the GoG.com online shopping cart and before you finish buying the games put in the promo code ACTION to get the 25 percent discount. GoG.com also has a special treat; a chat with BioWare co-founder Greg Zeschuk as he talks about the making of MDK 2, one of the earliest games from the now acclaimed RPG publisher.

Gametap continues to offer its customers free games to check out. Today the download service offers up two free titles. One is Overlord, the 2007 released action-RPG where you get to play as a fantasy bad guy. The Triumph Studios-Codemasters game is available to play for free for one week only at Gametap. Available for free at any time is Penumbra Overture, the first game in the horror adventure series from developer Frictional Games.

Two more games are added to Gametap's paid premimum service: the stand alone expansion RTS game Supreme Commander Forged Alliance from Gas Powered Games and THQ and the fantasy fighting game Die by the Sword from Treyarch and Interplay. The latter includes the game's expansion pack Limb from Limb.
