Saints Row! Earthworm Jim! Trials Fusion!

A note from the editor: Jelly Deals is a deals site launched by our parent company, Gamer Network, with a mission to find the best bargains out there. Look out for the Jelly Deals roundup of reduced-price games and kit every Saturday on Eurogamer.


This week has absolutely no shortage of discounts on downloadable PC games. Multiple sites are offering some pretty steep price reductions on everything from old-school classics to some of this year's biggest titles. This is in addition to Humble's Indie Mega Week sale that we covered earlier in the week.

Humble Saints Row Bundle

Over at Humble, there's a brand new bundle on offer filled with some of Deep Silver's finest wares.

While we're talking about Humble Bundle, by the way, the folks over there have gone ahead and added a bunch more games to the Humble Telltale Games Bundle. That set now features The Wolf Among Us, Jurassic Park, Sam & Max and more, alongside all the titles that were originally featured.

This week, you can pick up the vast majority of games released by infamous adventure game studio Wadjet Eye Games for a matter of coins each. That means you can get the vastly under-discussed cyberpunk point-and-click adventure Gemini Rue and kick off your Blade Runner obsession months ahead of the new movie later this year (please be good, please be good).

Up to 85% off the Weekly Sale from GOG.com

One last thing that's not actually related to games, but still features the word 'digital' so you may want to know - if you're an Amazon Prime member, you can rent and stream a few of the year's biggest movie releases for £1.99 each at the moment. That includes films like Logan, Get Out, Trainspotting 2 and, perhaps most excitingly, Kong: Skull Island which is far better than it had any right to be. Head over to this link right here to do the renting thing, if you like.

So how about that bunch of digital goodies? If there are any particular recommendations you'd like the world to know about, feel free to leave a comment and point them out.
