When you think of the Eastern Front of WWII, images of half frozen soldiers in the bitter Russian winter amid a giant firefight come to mind. You’ll get that experience and more in this week’s tactical RTS Company of Heroes 2. The game was released Tuesday on Steam for $59.99 — pretty high for a PC game these days. Fortunately, Green Man Gaming has a 20% off coupon code that knocks the price down to $48, a much more reasonable price for a download. If you’ve always wanted to game the largest land war in history on the squad level, it’s probably worth a try.
Another important release this week was the final Borderlands 2 DLC pack: Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep. It’s the fourth and final campaign add-on found in the Season Pass. Buying separately, it runs you $9.99, or $8 after coupon at Green Man Gaming. The newest DLC features the same classic Borderlands 2 characters and gameplay but in a J.R.R. Tolkien-like environment, combating skeletons, orcs, and dragons.
If you don’t own Borderlands 2 or the Season Pass, Amazon has a pretty hot offer right now on the PC download version. Their new Borderlands Bundleganza bundles together Borderlands GOTY, Borderlands 2, and the Borderlands 2 Season Pass for only $22. That’s a great value since the best price right now on the Season Pass alone is $24.
