Alienware Arena is giving away a limited number of keys for a Mass Effect 3 in-game item, the M-90 Indra Sniper Rifle.

Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition Hits Steam

Previously a Beamdog exclusive release, Overhaul Games' Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition has finally made its way to the notoriously popular digital distribution service Steam. With the introduction of this Steamworks-DRMed version of the game, we're starting to see other digital distributors such as GamersGate add it to their catalog.

Compared to the classic Baldur's Gate (DRM-free, which can be purchased at Good Old Games), Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition adds a new adventure, three new companions, additional player character voice sets, and an improved widescreen UI, among many other tweaks. BG:EE is currently available for PC and iPad, with Mac OSX and Android tablet versions still in the works.

Mass Effect 3 for $48 at Newegg (Preorder)

For those of you in the U.S., you may be interested in Newegg's weekend promotion on physical copies of Mass Effect 3 (Standard Edition) PC/XBox/PS3 preorders. Promo code EMCYTZT1034 drops the asking price from $60 to $48 (20% discount). Your email address must be subscribed to their newsletter to use the code. Personally, as a fan, I would go for a physical collector's edition, but unfortunately that is not the deal being featured here.
