This week, PC gamers finally got a chance to play the final two games in Lorne Lanning and Oddworld Inhabitants' Oddworld action-adventure game series. Both the PC ports of Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath (first released on the original Xbox) joined the previously released Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus in a new collection called, appropriately enough, The Oddboxx.

While the PC ports of the two new games have had some tech issues after their release on Steam last Monday (the development teams are working to fix them ASAP) the fact that these two games have been brought to the PC after all this time is an achievement in itself. Big Download got Stewart Gilray of Just Add Water (who handled the Stranger's Wrath port) to give us some more info on how The Oddboxx got made.

Capcom may not have come to terms with Valve with putting Bionic Commando Rearmed on Valve's Steam service but others games certainly have no issues with getting a new life. Valve has just announced that two PC games in the classic Oddworld side scrolling action-adventure series are now available for download. The games, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus, were developed by the now defunct Oddworld Inhabitants and were first published by GT Interactive (later bought by Infogrames).

Both games can now be downloaded for $9.99 each or both for $14.99. Until September 4, Steam users can get these games for 10 percent off their regular prices.
