Over the past several years more and more of the PC gaming industry has moved to Digital Downloads, and while Steam definitely has the dominant position, Direct2Drive has seen tremendous success and growth. Now they have hit their 5-year anniversary and WE get the presents! Week 1 was highlighted here and featured Ubisoft and strategy games! Read on to find out more!

According to two entries on Twitter:

D2D Turns 5 Week 2: Action packed titles galore, all $5! Bioshock, Saints Row 2, STALKER, and more!

But wait, there’s more! Buy one $5 game and get automatically entered in our contest to win ALL 50 GAMES! http://bit.ly/LQHVo

As stated, over the next five weeks 50 games will be chopped to $5 – this week with 10 games from the Action game genre. I liked last week’s list, but already had enough of the games digitally that I didn’t get anything. This week however … I own Bioshock and STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl in digital format, but the sale on The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is just absolutely stunning, and I simply have to pick up Thief: Deadly Shadows, Serious Sam Gold, and Max Payne 2 to have them wherever I go.

I have loved technology for as long as I can remember - and have been a computer gamer since the PDP-10! Mobile Technology has played a major role in my life - I have used an electronic companion since the HP95LX more than 20 years ago, and have been a 'Laptop First' person since my Compaq LTE Lite 3/20 and Powerbook 170 back in 1991! As an avid gamer and gadget-junkie I was constantly asked for my opinions on new technology, which led to writing small blurbs ... and eventually becoming a reviewer many years ago. My family is my biggest priority in life, and they alternate between loving and tolerating my gaming and gadget hobbies ... but ultimately benefits from the addition of technology to our lives!
