The 4th of July weekend isn't really a gaming weekend here in the States. In fact, it's usually the one weekend a year that you can count on even the fattest piece of crap to go outside and barbecue for a bit. Valve, of course, knows that and it's why they're offering such a ridiculously good discount this weekend.

Post-apocalyptic RPG Fallout 3 is 50% off on Steam for the next few days. That translates into a hefty discount of $25. I've probably logged a good 90 hours or so in the game so that's a pretty nice gameplay hours: money ratio right there.

If the pure calculation of time vs. money doesn't sway you, check out Blend Games' review. Or note that it was one of the staff's top five games of 2008.
