Last year, LucasArts made a lot of old time fans of the publisher's adventure games happy with the release of the graphically revamped The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition. Now, nearly a year after the game was first released for the PC, the remake is now available for Mac users.

The $9.99 download is on sale now via download from GameAgent, the downloadable game store from Aspyr Media. LucasArts has already announced plans for a special edition remake of Monkey Island 2. The remake will also be available for the Mac and the PC when its released this summer.

Well, what do you know? We talk a lot about downloading games on the cheap here at Big Download but there's also some games that that you can get for absolutely nothing. Today that list just got a new addition; Stubbs the Zombie. There is a way to get the 2005 released zombie action game from developer Wideload Games without paying a penny.

Head on over to Game Agent's web site; that's the PC and Mac game download store for Stubbs the Zombie's publisher Aspyr Media. When you see that game listed hit the "Download Now" button. In the promo code section type ASPYRTHANKS inside and activate it. POOF. That $9.99 game just turned into a $0.00 game. There's no word on how long the promo code will last, however, so we suggest grabbing it now.

Update: Looks like the free promotion is done. The game has gone up to $19.99 and the promo code knocks the sales price down to $4.99. Super-cheap . . .but not free.

A few weeks ago we reported that Aspyr Media would be publishing Death to Spies: Moment of Truth, the sequel to 1C Company's WWII stealth action game. Today, in advanced of the game's release to retail stores in the US, Aspyr has gone ahead and made the full game available for download and purchase via their GameAgent web site.

The $29.99 title, which has you controlling a member of the Soviet Union's spy organization SMERSH (you might recognize the name from early James Bond movies) should be made available via other downloadable sites soon. The retail version will ship to stores on August 18.

While not as well known as Steam, Direct2Drive, GamersGate or Impulse, the Aspyr-run game download service GameAgent is aiming to be a player in the growing PC game download business. Today the company announced that from now until Thursday it is selling all of the game in its current library for 50 percent off their normal prices.

While that sounds like a great deal on the surface, consider that at the moment GameAgent only has 13 games in its library so far. However there are some good games in this list such as 1701 AD and its expansion pack, PuzzleQuest: Galactrix. several games from 1C Company and even the Mac version of Call of Duty 4. So if that appeals to you, then by all means dig in.
