Steam’s Next Free Weekend Games Now Available

PC gamers looking for something new to play this weekend have a couple of options to choose from right now, courtesy of Steam. Two great games, Cities: Skylines and Disc Jam, are both free to play on the digital store for the next couple of days.

From now until Sunday, February 11, Steam users can install and play the aforementioned titles at no cost. Cities: Skylines is a city-management sim in the vein of SimCity. GameSpot called it “the best city-builder on the market right now” in our Cities: Skylines review. Disc Jam, meanwhile, is a fast-paced frisbee game reminiscent of Windjammers. Two to four players compete to throw a disc into the opposing team’s end zone, using a variety of over-the-top abilities.

If you like what you’ve played of the titles and are interested in picking either up, you also have a chance to snag them at a nice discount. Both games are on sale in Steam until Monday, February 12. The base version of Cities: Skylines runs for $7.49, while Disc Jam is available for $9. You can also pick up the Cities: Skylines Collection bundle, which includes all of the game’s expansion packs such as After Dark and Natural Disasters, at a discount. The bundle typically costs $121.89, but it has been reduced to $55.90 until Monday.

You can download Cities: Skylines from Steam here and Disc Jam here. Both games have also been released for other platforms; Cities: Skylines is available for PS4 and Xbox One, while Disc Jam is on PS4 and now Switch, arriving to Nintendo’s console as part of the 13 new Switch games released this week.

How Many People Know Who Batman Is in the DCEU?

While not as easy to piece together as – say – figuring out Clark Kent is actually Superman, anyone who’s determined enough, and searches hard enough, could surely surmise that Batman is billionaire Bruce Wayne.

Still, you want it to be a challenge for that person, right? They shouldn’t just be able to stumble across the information, especially if they weren’t even actively looking for it. But ever since Alfred escorted Vicki Vale into the Batcave back in 1989 because he thought she was Bruce’s soulmate after one date, the Batman films have had some issues when it comes to keeping secrets. Even Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy had the Caped Crusader clueing in those close to him about his alter ego.

The Spider-Women Are the Stars of Marvel’s Spider-Man

Last year, Marvel turned heads by ending the animated series Ultimate Spider-Man and quickly following it up with a brand new series, Marvel’s Spider-Man. Many questioned the purpose of replacing one Spider-Man cartoon with another, especially given that both shows focus on a high school-age Peter Parker. However, with time it’s become clear that there’s more distinguishing Marvel’s Spider-Man than simply its rebooted continuity and overhauled animation style. Marvel’s Spider-Man is the first animated series that truly feels like an ensemble project. For the first time, Spidey is on equal footing with heroes like Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy and Anya Corazon.

That ensemble approach has really become evident with the show’s current five-part storyline, “Spider-Island.” A loose adaptation of the comic book storyline of the same name, “Spider-Island” explores what happens when millions of Manhattan residents suddenly develop spider powers. That plot twist has allowed for both Spider-Gwen (voiced by Laura Bailey) and Spider-Girl (voiced by Melanie Minichino) to join Peter and Miles in the superhero game, effectively transforming Spider-Man from a solo player to a member of a full-fledged superhero team.

Nothing quite matches the experience of playing games and watching movies as they’re projected on your living room wall. I became a projector disciple over 15 years ago and have never looked back. But projectors can be bulky, aren’t very attractive, and need to live on a stand in the back of your room, or mounted on the ceiling (which introduces a whole bunch of installation issues).
