More On: Section 8
Let's take a look and see what's going on over at Direct2Drive this week. First, they've got Need for Speed World and All Points Bulletin pre-order bonuses.  Then there is a host of new titles including the F.E.A.R. Ultimate Shooter Collection, Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer expansion, Blur, Flaming Cliffs 2, Craft of Gods, and BioShock 2: Rapture Metro Map Pack.

Let me take a big breath; that last sentence was long!  The deal of the week is Section 8 for only $14.95 (50% off).  Out of all of these titles, I'm probably most interested in Craft of Gods.  It's coined as a "new game with an 'old school' heart that will please both long time and new players."  It sounds interesting to me.  There's more details in the full press release or just click over to Direct2Drive to explore them for yourself.
THIS WEEK ON DIRECT2DRIVE…
