The N900 was perhaps the most interesting device that Nokia brought market last year. Regular readers will know that I am far more interested in the concept of a pocket computer than a smart phone, the N900 is clearly more computer than phone.

Another weekend, another group of sales! This week has some great deals, and some questionable ‘classics’ … but at great prices! So let’s get right to it! Good Old Games: Since Good Old Games has been shouting from the rooftops about bringing Atari-owned classics such as Baldur’s Gate and Planescape Torment into the fold, you would assume that an ‘Atari Classics’ sale would be headlined by these games, right? You would be wrong! Here is the list of stuff: Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare Blood 2: The Chosen + Expansion Independence War Deluxe Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos Master of Magic Master of Orion 1+2 Master of Orion 3 ($6.99 separate) One Unit Whole Blood Outcast Total Annihilation: Commander Pack I know, I know … there is some REALLY good stuff there, such as the Masters of Orion games, but even on GoG these are not the best Atari games … also, the deal is that you get 50% off if you buy it all, or 30% off individual games. Still not bad, but would be easily improved by including the recently added RPG games! Steam : 33% Off Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2! Still not a ‘bargain’ at just over $40, but this is the first sale I have seen for this game since it was released a year ago. Impulse Big 50% Off Sale Divinity II: Ego Draconis Sacred 2: Fallen Angel … and more! GamersGate Has yet another big sale – with prices slashed on 36 games from 15% – 60%, and including stuff like the Hearts of Iron II Complete collection for $9.99! Direct2Drive For the weekend D2D are having a ’15% off action games’ with more than 500 games included! And just to reiterate, Spiderweb Software 15th Anniversary Sale From Jeff Vogel’s Blog It was fifteen years ago that fledgling Indie game developer Spiderweb Software released its first game out into the wild.
