We’re more than halfway through the year now and into the summer lull, the time where fewer games are released and you have an opportunity to catch up on your gaming backlog from the beginning part of the year. That is if you’re not out there doing fun things in the sun. If, however, you feel like there’s just not quite enough gaming goodness in your life at this point, we’ve got you covered. Here are the very best gaming deals of the past week.
As usual, we’ve got deals that’ll work in the UK, deals that’ll work in the US and some deals that will work in both the UK and US, as well as presumably many other places. Let’s get started.
UK & US Deals
A few months ahead of the launch of its much-awaited sequel, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor: Game of the Year Edition has been cut down in price for the next few days, to just £4.80 / $4 on Xbox One via Xbox Live or £3.20 / $4 on PC via Steam. No sign of a discount on the PS4 version but it might be good to keep your eyes peeled just in case.

You may have seen this one during the week already but just in case you haven’t – the original Shadow Warrior is free right now on GOG.com. You may have played the more recent reboot of the franchise or its sequel, which was released last year, but if you’ve never taken a look at the game that kicked off a whole range of questionable puns, you can do that without paying a thing this week.
