This week’s update includes a bat, two shanks, a red friendship, a coupe of causes and a bit of “Doh!”

If you’ve been let down by the lack of Labor Day 2011 video game sales, then head to Amazon. The site has you covered today. At least, if you’re a computer gamer, you’ll be covered. There’s a big bundle called the Square Enix Adventure Pack available, and you can get seven big name games for $49.99. Let that sink in.

See, Square Enix is known for the mythical Square Enix tax. The company’s games always are among the most expensive out there. This bundle completely eliminates that premium price. Let’s look at the list of games you get…

Today OnLive announced that the 50th game to be added to its PlayPack is Just Cause 2. Just Cause 2 can be purchased from a variety of outlets for around $15 on PC. You can do that, or try out Just Cause 2 along with 49 other games in the OnLive PlayPack for $9.99 a month.

It seems that every weekend we give you another dose of OnLive news. Well this weekend will be no different. This time around OnLive is not offering a discount on games. Instead, the service wants everyone to know that Just Cause 2 is now playable on Mac and computers running Windows XP/Vista that are not DirectX 10 compliant. If you fall into one of these categories, Just Cause 2 should now operate without fail on your systems – if you purchase it through OnLive of course.

It’s another Square-Enix Deal of the Day extravaganza at Amazon today. If you’re looking to bypass the SE tax and own a PS3, Xbox 360 or PC, then you’re in luck. There are three great games on sale and waiting for you, and nearly all three will qualify for free Super Saver shipping.,,

Valve and Prima have teamed up to bring digital strategy guides to Steam. The guides can be viewed while in the game or outside the game. You still have to be connected to Steam in order to view the guides. Strategy guides usually sell for $20 at retail but Valve is willing to deal. Digital strategy guides for select games will be get a 50% discount. Now you only have to pay $10 as opposed to $20 for information you could easily find for free.

A video released today (January 25, 2010) shows new vehicles, weapons and a new parachute for Just Cause 2 while demonstrating cool ways to integrate them into combat.

Eidos is ending the week by sending out a small list of three games it’ll have on hand at E3 2009. Batman: Arkham Asylum, Mini Ninjas and Just Cause 2 will be at the Eidos #2422 booth in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center.

While Batman: Arkham Asylum and Mini Ninjas may be playable in some form, the latest demo for Just Cause 2 will be shown behind closed doors away from the general public. These three games will cover the Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii and DS platforms.

Edios was acquired by Square Enix earlier this year but was allowed to maintain independent of Square Enix. While it must still answer to Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada, it is still allowed to continue backing already its established franchises and original intellectual properties.
