Over the next five weeks, Direct2Drive is offering a special discount on a host of different titles in celebration of its five-year anniversary. Every Monday, Direct2Drive will feature a new set of titles, reducing them to $5 (or £5 UK), with the first week of the promotion focusing on "Ubisoft and Strategy titles." While the upcoming week's titles have yet to be revealed, Direct2Drive has teased us with utterly vague descriptions of what to expect:
  • Week Two: Action Games
  • Week Three: RPGs & MMOs
  • Week Four: Indie Games
  • Week Five: War Games
The first week of the promotion ends on September 14. Games differ slightly based on your geographical region -- for instance, Ubisoft is strangely omitted from the European promotion. Check out a full list of this week's games for both regions after the break.

We know how everyone has just been clamoring to get the GRAW 2 Co-Op Collection 2 lately. Yup, nothing hits the spot like cheap, one-year-old DLC for a two-year-old game. For those who were just too thrifty to plunk down the necessary 400, the DLC is on sale this week for a mere 320. We're no mathemagicians, but that sounds like quite a savings for DLC that no one cares about at all.

Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Turbo HD Remix, Episode One is on sale for 800 over the next 168 hours (give or take a few). At $10, the bite-sized RPG is worth the cost of entry for fans of the genre -- enjoying the Penny Arcade comic isn't a requirement.

Microsoft also makes note of some upcoming deals. Next week, starting April 13, (please make these long titles stop) Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 Co-op Collection will infiltrate Xbox Marketplace for 320. The following two weeks will offer Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09's "Spyglass Hill Golf Course" and then NBA LIVE 365 at 400 and 560, respectively.

Today we're being ambitious enough to slam your face with two servings of awesome video game bargains. The first is GRAW2 -- located on Amazon for $30 new, or $20 used. People have said it's a great game, so if you think it's worth a measly $20, take the bet.

The second deal is less of a deal but still something to consider if you're dying to play something new. Dark Sector has popped up on Circuit City's website for $40. Whichever deal you take is up to you, but either way you'll get a decent game. Heck, go ahead and take both deals for the price of a brand new PS3 game. It's almost like a two-for-one deal. Almost.

For those of you still grooving on GRAW 2, grab a buddy and download today's 800 point ($10) "Co-op Collection," a DLC package for Xbox 360 featuring nine new maps (seven inspired from preview Ghost Recon games, two all new) and five co-op campaign missions that pick up where GRAW 2 left off.

If you're too cheap to even consider getting in on the action (feel free to leave your usual diatribe about why additional maps and modes should be on the retail disc in the comments), then Ubisoft has something just for you: a totally freetastic "more guns pack" that locks and loads seven new gats into the single player quick mission mode. Be honest, are you going to drop the points or hold out for a potential future pricedrop that may or may not ever happen? ... Yeah, us too.

Update: The Co-op Collection is now on the XBLM (shame on us for doubting Ubi), but the More Guns Pack is still MIA.

Ubisoft's UK forum manager posted an official press release on the Ubisoft forums telling of new GRAW 2 downloadable content that's scheduled to make its way to the XBLM today. We say scheduled, because it has yet to make it there and to be frank, daylight is running out.

The new 800 Microsoft point Co-op Collection DLC will feature five new co-op missions, a total of nine new multiplayer maps (seven of them being remakes) and nine new achievements totaling 125 Gamerscore. Ubisoft is also giving away a free More Guns Pack download that'll add seven new weapons to GRAW 2's single player campaign. Again, both the Co-op Collection and More Guns Pack DLC should be available sometime today, but we have a hunch that the content will make an appearance sometime later this week. Our fingers are crossed though.

[Thanks, xenocidic]
