Ghost Recon Weekend

Valve is very good to its fans — actually, better than most. From free-play weekends, where uncertain gamers get full access to particular games for 48 hours, or giving exclusive savings by pre-ordering titles on Steam, Valve does it all. Though, one less-commonly known service takes the shape of the ‘weekend deal.’ This weekend, grab all of your favorite Ghost Recon titles over steam for a bundled price of $19.99! — saving nearly twenty dollars.

Included in this week’s deal: Ghost Recon (original), its two best expansions (Desert Siege and Island Thunder), Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, and Ghost Recon 2: Advanced Warfighter.

Though the tactical-shooter is quite large nowadays, with so many titles to choose from, it’s hard to ignore a series that really pioneered the genre’s current success like Ghost Recon did. And under the colossal banner of Tom Clancy, even the Rainbow Six series (though currently not on sale, sadly) has undoubtedly defined what a well-made tactical FPS should entail.

Offering a superb single player campaign, though boasting intense, highly-organized multiplayer experiences, Ghost Recon is definitely one series to consider if you missed out on its halcyon days. And even if you were on the front lines back in 2001 when it was first released, it may be time to give it another go! (…go! go!).
