Cheapskating: Pre-order deals and downloads

Today’s Cheapskating features 32 superb deals.

Fans of the Total War series will be happy to know that Creative Assembly and Sega have announced Rome II’s release date as September 3rd of this year. You can pre-order the Steam-activated version for only $44.97, which will of course include pre-purchase goodies.

Preordering Total War: Rome II nets you the Greek States Culture Pack DLC, which adds Athens, Epirus, and Sparta to your list of playable culture factions. Each faction offers different special tactics as well as elite units to spice things up.

Post-apocalyptic shooter fans will want to keep an eye out for next week’s release of Metro: Last Light, a sequel to 4A Games’ Metro 2033. The pre-order is currently at $37.50 and includes the Ranger Mode DLC pack (more ammo and a modified Russian rifle).

Lastly, GamersGate has an excellent Bethesda Weekend sale, making hot titles such as Skyrim and Dishonored only $15. While Skyrim has been available for a while now, this is the first time it’s been under the $20 price tag. Both are Steam-activated keys.
