Capcom Games Week continues!
This week we have some amazing deals on Capcom games, with each day's Daily Deal highlighting one of the great Capcom titles. Capcom is known for creating multi-million-selling franchises such as Street Fighter, Mega Man and Resident Evil. This weeks sales include some of their great classics as well as some hidden gems and new, fresh titles.
Dark Void and Dark Void Zero
Dark Void is a sequel to the 20 year old Dark Rift, with a unique combination of jetpack-booster aerial dog fighting and third-person combat creates a thrilling new gameplay dynamic to the third-person shooter experience. Taking 3D action to a whole new level, Dark Void’s unique vertical combat system allows players to dangle from thousand foot drops as they take cover and hurl enemies to their doom, bringing a whole new sense of tension and thrill to the player. Will is also equipped with a powerful rocket pack which allows for fierce in-air combat, hurtling through the Void at blistering speeds while shooting down anything that gets in his path.
Nearly twenty years later the next gen version of the game, Dark Void, is back, but to commemorate the game's humble origins, Capcom has commissioned this recreation of the original 8-bit classic, now re-titled "Dark Void Zero." You play Rusty, the first human born in the Void, who must take on the Watchers in a quest to stop their domination of Earth. With the aid of Nikola Tesla, and his state-of-the-art rocket pack, Rusty must take down the Watchers and their minions across three intense levels of action and intrigue.
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition - Colonies Edition and Lost Planet 2
A newer property, Lost Planet takes you to a humanity driven to the brink of extinction in ice-covered wastelands, fighting to survive, from the deadly elements to the hostile alien creatures known as the Akrid. With only fragments of his memory intact, Wayne Holden must struggle to recover his past and the answers to E.D.N. III's secrets. While the search for the truth could lead to valuable allies and a means to save humanity, what he finds instead could be worse than he ever imagined!
In Lost Planet 2, the climate has changed and a decade has passed since the events of the first game. The face of E.D.N. III has changed dramatically. Terraforming efforts have been successful and the ice has begun to melt, giving way to lush tropical jungles and harsh unforgiving deserts. Players will control heroes from each faction across 6 interconnected episodes, viewing the war from the perspective of each, creating a truly unique interactive experience. With this concept, players will have the opportunity to engage in the story in a much more dynamic way as plot threads evolve from different players' perspectives.
Dead Rising 2
Zombies! What else do we need to say? The sequel to the million-plus selling Dead Rising, Dead Rising 2 takes the zombie survival horror to Fortune City, America’s latest and greatest entertainment playground. Featuring a new story, two online multiplayer modes (2-player co-op campaign and a 4-player "TV show" themed Pay-Per-View event that pits humans against zombies), thousands of on-screen zombies and more, Dead Rising 2 takes zombie survival horror to a whole new level. As Chuck Greene, you have 72 hours to save your infected daughter, clear your name and survive the hordes of hungry zombies before the military comes in and nukes the city. To ensure your survival, you can combine everyday objects to create numerous deadly combo weapons and slaughter the ravenous zombies. Dead Rising 2, it’s where Creativity Kills.
Devil May Cry 4
From the producer of the original Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 4 comes the next installment in the hugely successful stylized action game, Devil May Cry 4. DMC4 immerses gamers in a gothic supernatural world, where a new protagonist clashes with a familiar hero. As the new leading man, Nero, players will unleash incredible attacks and non-stop combos using a unique new gameplay mechanic, his powerful "Devil Bringer" arm.
Resident Evil 5
Capcom has a thing for zombies, to be sure. Known as Biohazard in Japan, the Resident Evil franchise has spawned 6 numbered games and a number of side-stories, as well as comics, novels and movies. Resident Evil 5 tries some new things and executes them beautifully. Just when it seemed that the menace of Resident Evil had been destroyed, along comes a new terror to send shivers down player's spines. Chris Redfield, returning Resident Evil hero, has followed the path of the evil literally around the globe. After joining a new organization, Chris heads to Africa where the latest bioterrorism threat is literally transforming the people and animals of the city into mindless, maddened creatures. If you're a fan of co-op or action puzzler games, RE5 scratches both your itches.
Street Fighter IV
Street Fighter IV brings the legendary fighting series back to its roots by taking the beloved fighting moves and techniques of the original Street Fighter II, and infusing them with Capcom's latest advancements in next generation technology to create a truly extraordinary experience that will re-introduce the world to the time-honored art of virtual martial arts.
Flock!

Pick up wood to form bridges, move boulders to create obstructions, and flatten fields into pathways all to help deliver your herd before time runs out. Flock together with a friend and even create and share your own crazy levels online!
Age of Booty
Set in the swashbuckling era, Age of Booty is a casual real-time multiplayer strategy game that puts players at the helm of their own pirate ship with the goal of sending your enemies to the briny deep, and looting and capturing towns for your pirate faction.
