Some Decent Sales on Stardock’s Impulse This Week

I’m not much of one to buy things on Impulse (Stardock’s Steam clone), but they have some decent sales on this weekend:


Sins of a Solar Empire – $3.99
RTS, have not played it myself, but the editors of PC Gamer would not shut up about it a while ago.
Normally $19.99

.


Demigod – $9.99
I’m sure you’ve heard of this game at some point.  It’s another strategy game, but again I have not played it.

(Oh and if you poke around, they also have some free stuff too – apps and games that is).

QuantZ Just $3 on Steam

QuantZ is a great little physics-based puzzle game – easy  to learn but hard to master.

It has a Mac version, so you can play it on that MacBook someone gave you.
It also has Steam Cloud support and 15 Achievements.

QuantZ is well worth the current $3 sale price.

Portal Free on Steam for a limited time!

Valve has apparently decided to give away Portal free to anyone with Steam!
Portal is also now playable on OSX for Macs!
To quote:

Portal used to cost money. Until May 24th, it’s free. End of story.

Well, technically speaking, there are some strings attached. Fortunately, they’re entirely decorative. We just like the way they look, swaying in the gentle breeze created by a million people simultanously fainting from shock at the news that Portal is free. Now you have no reason not to try Portal.

“I have a reason,” some of you are probably typing into an angry email. “You see, sir, I own a Mac.”

Well guess what: For the first time ever, Portal is also available for the Mac.

“Capital news! But the excellent puzzle adventure Portal won over 40 Game of the Year awards; Surely it must cost at least five or six hundred dollars.”

You’d think that, especially since it actually won over 70 Game of the Year Awards. But, like we keep saying, Portal is free. Free on the Mac. Free on the PC. But only until May 24th. So you only have a few days to decide if your free copy of Portal is worth the price we’re currently charging – which is you ever-so-slightly moving your index finger just barely enough to click the big red “download” button right there to the left.
