Oddworld series now on Steam

Today Valve announced that the Steam library will be gaining two classic platformers from the Oddworld series. Both Abe’s Oddysee and Abe’s Exoddus are currently available on Steam for only $9.99 apiece, or bundled together for $14.99. If you choose to buy these games this week, you will also get a 10% discount.

A pretty sweet deal if you ask me. I’ve always felt that the Oddworld games were under appreciated by gamers. Sure they were bizarre and had a hell of a learning curve, but the story and characters are just so charming. If you have never touched them, give the Oddworld series a try. Afterward, feel free to leave a comment below letting us know what you think.

Six new albums coming to Rock Band 2 DLC

The folks over at Harmonix must be making some bank from all the DLC they release for Rock Band. Why else would they announce six new albums to arrive in the coming months after Rock Band 2 launches. The six upcoming albums are:

• Foo Fighters - “The Colour and the Shape”
• Red Hot Chili Peppers - “Blood Sugar Sex Magik”
• Jane’s Addiction - “Nothing’s Shocking”
• Megadeth - “Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying”
• Stevie Ray Vaughn - “Texas Flood”

Lastly there will be a No Doubt best-of album, pieced together with Rock Band 2 in mind. There has been no word as to what order the albums will be released in or how much they will cost.

For some reason, I have a feeling that EA and Harmonix are going to do very well this year if the keep releasing DLC like this.
