Jessica Conditt — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:00:00 EST

Steam's weekly deals may not have official themes, but they each seem to carry an overall vibe, and this week, that vibe is "dead bodies and scary assaults." Each of the following games is up to 75 percent off on Steam through 10 a.m. PT on April 29: Resonance, Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack, Postal 2 Complete, Primal Fears, Still Life, Still Life 2, Post Mortem, Perimeter 2: New Earth, Zombie Pirates and a software title, Construct 2.

Mutant Blobs Attack, for example, is half off for $4, and it supports Steam's controller-friendly Big Picture mode. Resonance, a deep and innovative point-and-click adventure, is 75 percent off for $2.50, and Postal 2 Complete is 60 percent off, $6. Check out the lineup right here.

The third game to make it through the Steam Greenlight process is a game whose sequel was already on Steam. Postal 2 Complete, the compilation of the infamous, crude 2003 first-person shooter and its Apocalypse Weekend expansion, is now available on Steam after being voted in by the community.

Through November 9, Postal 2 Complete is discounted ten percent, available for $13.49.

Postal 2 to be featured in Nobel Prize museum

We'd wager that the first time the gaming community collectively booted up Running With Scissors' Gary Coleman-rich urination sim, Postal 2, we all shared the same thought: that this game absolutely needs to be showcased in some sort of museum commemorating mankind's greatest accomplishments. If memory serves, many of the title's reviews included similar sentiments.

Finally, that observation is being realized. Sweden's Nobel Museum, whose galleries are littered with installations denoting the achievements of Nobel laureates (as well as the life of the prize's progenitor, Alfred Nobel), will be including Postal 2 in a new exhibit titled "Freedom of Speech: How Free is Free?" The game will be included in a section that focuses on censorship in the video game industry. We're really happy such an exhibit exists; we just wish they'd picked a ... well, a good controversial game.
