And Gratuitous Space Battles

Two very different games,Gratuitous Space Battlesand the multiplayer component ofCall of Duty: Black Ops II, are freely playable this weekend on Steam. Both titles are also discounted — down to $3.74 and $40.19, respectively — should you want to permanently add them to your library.

If you’re just in it for the free entertainment, however, know that both will be free to play until 1:00pm on Sunday. You don’t need me to talk aboutCall of Duty, but I will say thatGSBisworth the timeit takes to download. Fast-forwarding through space wars shouldn’t be this much fun.
