It looks like we don't have to wait for the weekend to get some good PC game sales. The indie-themed game download site Greenhouse has just put three of their titles on sale this week. You can get the just released And Yet It Moves along with Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 1 and Defense Grid: The Awakening for just $9.99 each. That's a 33 percent savings off the first two games and a 50 percent sale for the third. The sale ends on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Steam has given permanent price cuts to two of Dreamcatcher Games' titles. You can now down download and purchase the FPS Painkiller Overdose and the space-based RTS game Genesis Rising for just $4.99 each. Also GamersGate has put the space combat games Tarr Chronicles and Dark Horizon together as a bundle for just $2.99 this week.

On Thursday we reported that publisher Paradox Interactive had first revealed their plans to publish Dark Horizon, an upcoming PC space combat game. However the press release from the company was short on details, including who the developer of the game is. Big Download contacted Paradox's PR contact for more info and they told us that the developer is Quazar Studio who in 2007 released another space combat game titled Tarr Chronicles (the US version was published by CDV).

So is Dark Horizon simply a re-packaged version of Tarr Chronicles or an all new game? According to our Paradox PR contact, "Dark Horizon is from the same studio and a new title but in the "same" universe as Tarr Chronicles was." We hope to get more info on the game in the weeks ahead of the game's planned release sometime in the third quarter of 2008.
