Valve's Steam Store has a couple of free goodies for PC gamers this weekend. Both Saints Row IV and Company of Heroes 2 are available now for free download and play. The freebie playtime expires on both games at 1pm PST (which is 9pm GMT) on Sunday. Hopefully readers won't already own one of these top rated games titles so they can enjoy a bit of high quality free gaming this weekend.
Saints Row IV is a famously crazy continuation of the story of the Third Street Saints criminal gang. Just to make things more bizarre than the prequels the head of the Saints has been voted in as the US president and has to deal with an alien invasion. Alien weaponry, technology and superpowers make the action in this open world game the wildest ever.
So you can experience the Saints Row IV game for free and also Steam has the game on sale during the weekend, so if you like you can splurge on the game, discounted by 50 per cent to £14.99 until Monday 20th January.
Company of Heroes 2 is a WWII strategy game which uses the Essence 3.0 graphics engine. It is the sequel to the highest rated strategy game of all time and is set in 1941 at "the beginning of what will become the bloodiest conflict of World War II". You play as a Soviet Red Army commander and must use your best military tactics to tip the balance of power in your favour and repel the invaders and push them all the way back to Berlin.
Again Steam has put this game on sale past the duration of the free weekend gaming and you can pick it up until 20th January for £10.19, that's 66 per cent off the regular price.
