Hurray, no more classes for the week! However, boo to having to work all weekend and a multitude of tests next week. At any rate, Valve doesn't slack when it comes to pumping out their weekly Steam news.
Starting on Wednesday of next week we'll be starting a beta of the new Counter-Strike weapons market that we first announced here. The beta will give us some real-world data to start the market going, along with making sure that any issues get fixed before we roll this out to the entire community. Information on how to join the beta should show up on most of the major Counter-Strike news sites.That first bit of information is rather interesting. No, we don't have any information on what the procedure will be to try the BETA for the new dynamic weapon pricing. However, once we know here at CS-Nation, you guys will know.
Dark Messiah: Might and Magic is now available for preload and prepurchase. Dark Messiah is a big game (approx. 10 GB), so starting the preload now will make it faster to begin playing when it is released.
Increasing our catalog of casual games, Poker Superstars II debuted on Steam this week. You can play the free trial on Steam now. Purchase during the first week and save $5.00. Additionally, Zuma, one of our Pop-Cap games, is now available for $9.95, as well as a free trial.
