Direct 2 Drive Giving Away Free Retail PC Games All Month

Kris Erickson • Dec 1, 2010 • Comments ()

Black Friday may be over, but the video game deals are continuing all this week at Direct2Drive. The digital download service is offering incredibly low prices all week long on selected titles from 2K Games. Right now you can get Bioshock PC for only $4.95, and Bully Scholarship Edition for only $14. More deals will be revealed in the coming days. Furthermore, for the rest of the month, one in every five customers will get their purchase for free! You might not want to waste that win on Bioshock, though. How lucky do you feel?

Direct2Drive has been around for a while, and the service has only gotten better with time. It is a direct competitor to services like Steam, but it offers a wider selection of retail titles, and a very robust e-commerce platform. Everything we've downloaded from them has worked great and been well supported. For some games, we actually prefer the download version to driving all the way down to the games shop. Who actually reads the printed booklet these days, anyhow?

The best thing about Direct 2 Drive is that once you buy a game, you own it forever. You can download the title whenever you need it again, and you can even get new licenses if you change PCs. And while some PC game installs can be a major nightmare, Direct2Drive has one of the best technical support services available, and they really keep on track of compatibility issues, patches, and other factors for every game they sell. If only the clerks at Gamestop were this knowledgeable! Head on over to the site, it might just re-ignite your love for PC gaming.
