Valve has brought back their regular weekend sale to their Steam service this week with something of an old school flavor. They have the entire X-Com franchise (five games in all) on sale this weekend only for just $4.99. That's a 66 percent savings from the pack's normal $14.99 price tag.

Also during the past week Steam has added number of games that were released in retail stores in the fall of 2008. These include EA's Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 and Dead Space along with Codemasters' Rise of the Argonauts and Activision's Quantum of Solace. They are all full price but hey, at least you won't have to deal with EA's DRM issues.

Thanks to everyone who entered our Quantum of Solace PC giveaway contest. We have now picked the three winners, each of which will receive a boxed copy of the PC version of the recent FPS game from Activision. Congrats to Steven Richards of Palestine, OH, Chad Kaup of Defiance, OH and Nicholas Sansano of New York, NY for being picked as the winners. All of you will soon be receiving your free copy of the game. Thanks again to Activision and our sister site GameDaily for providing the prizes.

Bond is back in action, and he's got issues. Quantum of Solace is the first video game to feature the Daniel Craig version of 007, which trades in the gadget wielding playboy from older films for a tougher, more reckless one. The game parallels the events of the movie, so it also picks up right where Casino Royale left off. Unfortunately, there isn't much of a recap, so people who either didn't see Casino Royale or have a foggy recollection of its events get thrown straight into the fight without a full understanding of what's going on. This feeling doesn't go away after the first mission. Even after sitting through each mission briefing in its entirety, we spent most of the time wondering why we doing half the things the game expected from us.
