So, what are YOU lot playing this weekend? I've always wanted to ask that - it's normally Alice's domain. If you've got a circle of buddies to bring with you (and no reason for them to say no - it's free), it's grand but it's not really geared towards more solitary gaming types like myself. It's a pretty neat game, and supports pure co-op unlike its PvP predecessor. All trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries. Tag it on Steam, keep it forever, you know the drill. Cooperative sky-ship crew sim Guns of Icarus Alliance is completely free to grab today, and should be available through until Tuesday. But it would be wildly inaccurate to call Steams brand new Spring Cleaning Event a Steam sale, because it actually does the opposite: it wants you to play through all those old games you already. Oddly timed, but there is one actual Steam giveaway running alongside the Spring Cleaning event too. You should totally play Fight 'N Rage instead. Dust off that library of games and uncover something new, during the Steam Spring Cleaning Event Earn a new badge for your Steam profile by playing. And yes, I did mean it when I said it's overrated.

There's little awards for returning to forgotten games, for playing something you've never tried before, for playing games recommended by friends and so on. It's a Just For Fun thing, unless you're one of those folks that really likes collecting trophy stickers to put on your Steam account page. Just to make it clear up front, there's no goodies to be earned or free games to be claimed by participating in this silliness. Oh, and yesterday's big Steam giveaway is still live until tomorrow, so try that too. Plus, there's an actual free game giveaway running - take a peek within. On one hand, it's nice that the Spring Cleaning Event (running until Monday, 28th May) is nudging players into trying out games they may have bought in sales and never touched, but pairing that with nine simultaneous free weekend events does somewhat undermine the message.Īh well, it's an excuse to play videogames all weekend. I'm not sure if Valve's latest promotional wotsit on Steam knows whether it's coming or going.
