This week it seems both Steam and Direct2Drive are offering PC gamers a chance to download and purchase titles for just one day only. Over on the Steam side the THQ sales event is still ongoing. From now until 1 pm Eastern time today you will be able to buy the recent post apocalypse first person shooter Metro 2033 for just $13.60, a 66 percent savings.

Meanwhile Direct2Drive's daily sale event has a Halloween theme and today they have cut the price of Frictional Games' horror-themed adventure titles in the Penumbra Collection. The game is on sale for $5.95, a 75 percent price cut.

Macintosh owners and folks who use the Linux OS haven't been able to check out the Penumbra series of first person horror adventure games as one large title. But that's changing on Friday. Developer Frictional Games has announced that it will release The Penumbra Collection for Mac and Linux users on that day. The collection (Penumbra: Overture, Penumbra: Black Plague and the Penumbra: Requiem expansion) will be made available as one download rather than the original's "three downloads with three serials" version.

Beginning with the release on Friday and ending on Sunday you can download the Penumbra Collection for Mac and Linux for a mere $5. The price goes back up to its normal $20 on Monday.

The Penumbra Collection puts the entire psychological horror series into one box. It will include Penumbra: Overture, Penumbra: Black Plague and the recent expansion Penumbra: Requiem. Expect to dive into the mystery later this month when the collection releases.
