Mad Balls: Babo Invasion plus S.W.A.T. pack
This weekends deals include a free weekend with Mad Balls: Babo Invasion S.W.A.T. Pack plus 75% off the usual price at only £2.24 ($3)- its a steal at this price. Or just the base game at £1.74 ($2) plus it's a great indie game. I posted a free version, the prequel to this game called Babo Violent in the free games project, though the commercial version is graphically superior and the game play is much better (IMO).

The Game
This game is the spiritual successor to the massively popular freeware top-down shooter BaboViolent2, Madballs in Babo:Invasion is an arena based 3D shooter offering players a satisfying and immersive experience in both single-player and multiplayer, including 'Invasion Mode' where players are able to design their own combat maps almost instantaneously by placing a combination of map tiles to create a never-before-seen map before gameplay starts. Truly, no two games are ever the same.
Featuring the recently re-released Madballs™ characters, Oculus Orbus™ and Horn Head™, from the popular 1980s toys best remembered for their outrageously bad looks and graphically colourful names, Madballs in...Babo: Invasion is a feature laden 'casually hardcore' action shooter.
Key Features:
• Single Player — Hours of repeatable gameplay through 10 epic levels
• 2-4 Player Online Co-op — challenge individual campaign levels with your friends or play the whole campaign in ‘Enduro’ mode
• 16 Player Multiplayer — 21 maps to match all game sizes
• 'Invasion' Mode — the signature mode of the game, players take turns placing map tiles to create a unique multiplayer map prior to each match
• Voice Chat — Talk to the other players in-game
• Classes — 10 character classes (each with 2 special abilities) over two warring factions, with each faction having 5 unique weapons each with two distinct firing modes
• Madballs Characters — Oculus Orbus™ and Horn Head™ from the infamous 80’s toy craze as in-game characters
• 5 Archetypes — Assault, Heavy, Runner, Flyer, Support
• Deployables — active (rocket turrets) or passive (healing towers) can be placed in Invasion mode
• Unlocks and Secrets — 50 unlocks and 50 Secrets to find during campaign gameplay
• Action — emphasis on fast-paced, visceral action that is easy to pick and play, yet offers a real strategic challenge for hardcore gamers

Beat Hazard
Finally there's a new indie game called Beat Hazard, a space arena game with a difference. The enemy numbers depend upon the rhythm and loudness of the music that's playing. The game comes with several powerful tracks plus you can play any music on your computer via the game. Brilliant game IMO. For the first week its 25% off at £5.25 ($8)
