Both <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/resident-evil-5"><em>Resident Evil 5</em></a> and the non-canon spinoff <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/resident-evil-operation-raccoon-city"><em>Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City</em></a> are available for half price, making the first one $9.99, and the second $24.99 for the base game, or $38.94 with all of the DLC included.<br /><br />At those prices, there's never been a better time to sign the rent agreement and let the Evil move on in. Just be careful with letting Evil be your roommate: It always leaves empty milk cartons in the fridge, and never washes the dishes, no matter what the chore list says.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/25/resident-evil-5-and-raccoon-city-half-off-on-steam-for-midweek-m/">Resident Evil 5 and Raccoon City half off on Steam for Midweek Madness</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 25 Sep 2012 23:00:00 EST.

Each one of the 11 bundles is discounted from $40 to $10 now through 4 p.m. PST on Thursday.<br /><br />Games in the bundles include <em>World of Goo, Orion: Dino Beatdown, Eufloria, Jamestown, Dungeons of Dredmor, A Valley Without Wind, Superbrothers: Sword &amp; Sworcery EP, Botanicula, Cave Story+</em> and a bunch more. May we suggest: If you see a bundle with a game you want but others you already have, now is a great time to pick up some early holiday presents for your Steam friends. You can save some dough and you'll look like an in-the-know hipster all at once.

Steam's <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/sub/11624/">"Midweek Madness" sale</a> is offering two separate bundles of indie games, the likes of which we haven't seen since the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/07/valve-potato-sack-bundle-hides-possible-portal-2-arg/">"Potato Sack" bundle</a>. For $10, the "Indie 2D Bundle" contains <em><a href="http://joystiq.com/game/bit-trip-runner">Bit.Trip Runner</a>, <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/nightsky">NightSky</a></em>, <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/nyxquest-kindred-spirits"><em>NyxQuest</em></a>, <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/swords-and-soldiers"><em>Swords and Soldiers</em></a>, and <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/world-of-goo"><em>World of Goo</em></a>. With the exception of the currently Windows-only <em>NightSky</em>, all are playable on both Mac and PC. Without exception, they're worth the $2 each you'd be paying.<br />
<br />
Also for $10, there's an <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/sub/11625/?snr=1_614_615__616">"Indie Strategy Bundle"</a> with <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/anomaly-warzone-earth">Anomaly: Warzone Earth</a>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/defense-grid-the-awakening">Defense Grid: The Awakening</a>, Revenge of the Titans, Sanctum</em>, and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/09/snap-judgment-xna-dream-build-play-2009-finalists/"><em>Sol Survivor</em></a>. Three of these are Windows-only, with <em>Revenge of the Titans</em> and <em>Anomaly</em> playable on Mac as well.<br />
<br />

From now through Thursday at 4PM PST, you can get Bionic Commando Rearmed for just five bucks, half off its normal price! If you've never checked out Bionic Commando, this is a great chance to do so before <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/06/bionic-commando-rearmed-2-will-make-you-jump-jump-feb-1/"><em>Rearmed 2</em></a> hits on February 1.<br />
<br />
We promise we won't judge you for never having played <em>Bionic Commando</em> if you do this <em>soon</em>. But we'll warn you, that window's closing. We feel an urge to just completely go off on someone who's never played one of the best NES games ever, or its beautifully executed remake. Five dollars is a small price to avoid <em>that</em> lecture.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/19/bionic-commando-rearmed-reduced-on-steam/">Bionic Commando Rearmed reduced on Steam</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 19 Jan 2011 02:00:00 EST.
