With all of the BlizzCon stuff we did last week we forgot to mention a few notable downloadable PC game sales that are still going on as we write this post. One is over at Steam where the downloadable puzzle game Droplitz is on sale until August 28 for just $1.99. Yep that's an 80 percent price cut from its normal Steam price. The game also has added support for some new Steam leaderboards. Also Steam is giving folks a chance to buy a bundle of Southpeak's Raven Squad and Section 8 for 25 percent off before they are released on the service.

Over at GoG.com there is still time to download Beyond Good and Evil and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time at a discount. You can get either one of the Ubisoft games for 30 percent off their normal GoG.com price or get both in a bundle for 50 percent off. The sale ends tonight at 11:59 pm ET. However GoG.com just launched another sale for the excellent FPS Shogo: Mobile Armor Division. You can download and purchase that game for 10 percent off its normal price until August 30. Finally Direct2Drive has put Defense Grid: The Awakening on sale until Sunday for $9.95.

Sometimes you just need to sit down, slide a floppy into your A: drive, and enjoy gaming retro style. We know this all too well! That's why we have a list of the best and brightest from days long gone. These are some of our favorite games of all time, and we're sure that you'll love them as much as we do, if not more. Welcome to Boot Disk, and enjoy the retro ride!

There are some games that are not notable upon original release, but as time goes on, grow and grow into that almost undefinable quality known as "classic". Every game featured so far on Boot Disk is timeless: games that were good from the day they were released to now. This week's game, however, is a little different. Unlike those other games, it was not until later on that its impact and classic nature were truly seen by most. The game is Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, and as both a launching platform for Monolith's LithTech engine and as a first-person shooter, it excels. While it does have some problems on modern machines from time to time, it's definitely worth playing just one more time.
