It’s the weekend, and although there are still nothing to do in the real world (what, I’m crazy?), we at least still have video games. And today we have some mighty cheap games, game accessories and game subscriptions.
First: Epic Games’s latest gift is the top-rated strategy sim Galactic Civilizations 3. It’s completely free for computers; all you need is an Epic Games account and the client software. Price when purchased on Steam: $ 40. Read the review of GameSpot’s Galactic Civilizations 3 for more information.
Here are some other deals you should not want to miss. As always, the price is accurate at the time of this writing and is subject to change.
Amazon
Speaking of freebies, Amazon is offering a new range of free PC games to Prime subscribers every month. Right now, the score stands at 30, which is incredible.
So click on the link below and browse (past the “booty”, which is also free) to Games with Prime. The latest additions can be found at the bottom, and it’s impressive. I recommend going to look along the edge, alt frequencies and when ski lifts go wrong.
To install and play these games, you need the Amazon Games App, which is also available via the free page.
Viksing
I recently realized that the cheap wireless mouse I use does not cut it for games. For starters, it’s a bit jerky, which can ape games that require ultra-precise aiming. It is also light on buttons and has no programming capability.
That’s why I’m switching to this Victing Mouse, which offers a multitude of modes, colors and customizations – all for just $ 15 if you click on the $ 3 short coupon on the page. It normally sells for $ 21; this is the lowest price recorded.
Sony
If you are a PlayStation owner, a PlayStation Plus subscription is almost essential. CDKeys provides a digital redemption code for half the regular price.
Note, however, that the code I received the last time I made a purchase (which has been around for years and has a 4.7-star TrustPilot rating) worked. And I have heard some anecdotal reports of similar issues, such as that orders are canceled almost immediately after purchase.
On the other hand, a co-editor of CNET told me that he had made four purchases at CDKeys in the past year, and they all worked without any problems. Your mileage may vary.

Microsoft
In addition to Xbox Live Gold, which enables online multiplayer games, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offers access to more than 100 games for the console, your computer and even Android devices. You also get an EA Play membership.
With this agreement, you only earn a little money for three months. And it’s available, even if you’ve done Game Pass trials or subscriptions in the past. I know this because I have, and I was able to register.
When this extended trial expires, you will be billed at the normal rate ($ 15 per month) unless you cancel.
Staples
This snazzy seat is available in blue, red, green or black and features a built-in headrest, lumbar support, tilt tension and lock and a seven-year warranty. The arms can also rotate up and down, which is handy if you prefer more freedom of movement while playing.
What is particularly noteworthy here is the user rating: 4.5 stars from more than 4,700 buyers. Unfortunately, it does not appear to be available in the store (although the delivery is free), you can not take it for a test session.
