This Weekend's PC Game Deals: GOG and Humble Store are raining discounts on AAA titles

This Weekend's PC Game Deals is a roundup of games - old, new, or soon to be released - that are available at a great price and can be activated on Steam, Origin, or Uplay - sometimes even good old games that are DRM-free.

AAA games with stunning visuals and physics may be all the rage these days, but there are lots of timeless classics that are still worth playing - and thanks to Origin Store’s “On the House” promotion, you can get some of them free of charge. Such is the case with Nox – an RPG from 2000 that is currently available as a free download, although we'd like to see EA offer something else pretty soon - the offer is getting a bit stale after running for more than three months.

Speaking of “on the house” games, Ubisoft has a similar promotion of their own called ‘Ubi 30’ and it celebrates the company’s 30^th anniversary as a game publisher. The way it works is that each month for the rest of 2016, Ubisoft will offer one free game for download, to help gamers “re-discover” legendary titles.

The only things you’ll need are a Uplay account and the Uplay client, and you’re set to get this month’s freebie, Rayman Origins. If 2D side-scrollers are not your cup of tea, the good news is that Ubisoft will give away four other games this year - previous Ubi 30 giveaways were Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell.

If the previous promotions aren't enough, there are also several deals available this weekend, and we’ve made a selection of the very best out there - which you can find in the list below. Some of them are flash sales, so act quickly if you don’t want to miss them. If you're looking for console games, take a look at the list of Xbox Games with Gold for September.

We'd like to know: what are your thoughts on DRM protection, and do you think it is a good solution to prevent piracy?
