This week’s Midweek Madness is friggin epic. Quite honestly if you don’t already own altitude… You need to. In the wake of last week’s Wings of Prey flying fiasco, I have to advise you to by this game. Not only is it one of the only half-way decent flying games on steam, but it’s easily one of the most fun games on steam. Check my profile. See all that time I’ve chocked up. THAT’S JUST TODAY… AT WORK… I plan on playing the hell outta this one, it’s addictive as shit, and at a full two dollars… you should to.

Anyways, you should probably do what I did. For the full price of just altitude you can, for the next few days, get seven indie titles. Most of which look decent. So splurge now, cause it’s hard to beat a 7 for 1 deal.

So there’s three games on sale this week and there all up for grabs. The three games are as follows:

1. Wings of Prey 50% off

This is the ACTUAL mid-week madness for this week and admittedly I was initially looking forward to this game. I was always a fan of dog-fighting games and don’t have one on steam… that I can remember.

However, after learning that this game not only have a three install limit, entirely unsuitable for a system builder, but also requires the installation of a seperate game client to run… I’m out. Maybe if this game drops below the $15 mark I could endorse it, but until then it’s a no-buy from me.

2. Serious Sam HD 50% off

This is the game you should be looking to buy. It’s actually on sale until march 2nd, so you can even wait for your check if you have to. Unfortunately I purchased this back in the Christmas sale, so I’ve no real reason to buy it now. But if you’ve missed out on the gem in the past, Now is the perfect time to hop on board the Sam-wagon. Old skool gameplay, new skool graphics… What’s not to love!

3. Hammer Fight 50%

If, like me, you already own Serious Sam perhaps you should be looking a little lower. Like at this Indie Gem. Hammer fight seems simple, and probably is, but thats exactly what I need on my laptop. Simple but fun games that can run on my core duo with integrated graphics. I’m picking this one up as a distraction from work.

Oh a helpful hint, Hammerfight is on sale this week, but the whole KranX pack is available for only $9.99 The usual cost of hammer fight alone. Personally, I’m gonna go this route. 3 games for the price of 1? I’m in.

Well if you don’t know by now, you might not even care. But Steam, the number one digital distribution platform for games, has just completely updated their user interface.

Why does this matter? Because it’s sick! They’ve gone all web 2.0 and I personally think that’s a good thing. Currently the new interface is still in beta, so you have to opt-in using the settings menu in your steam client. I strongly suggest you do.
