http://www.pcgamer.com/humble-fall-sale-includes-titan-souls-enter-the-gungeon-hollow-knight-and-other-great-indies/
The Humble Bundle fall sale is in full swing, and in addition to free copies of Brutal Legend, it's filled with big discounts on great indie games. The entire sale is a goldmine, but publisher Devolver Digital's library is especially rich.

 

Destiny 2 is discounted in Blizzard's Black Friday sale
http://www.pcgamer.com/destiny-2-is-discounted-in-blizzards-black-friday-sale/
Blizzard's Black Friday sale on Battle.net is a lot like Blizzard itself: There's not a whole lot in the way of variety, but what they've got is really good.
Destiny 2 is probably the biggest deal on tap. The standard edition is on for $40, while the version with the expansion pass bundled in is $68, and the digital deluxe is $75. But you can actually do a little better on the standard release at https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/destiny-2-pc/">Green Man Gaming, which has it on for $36. (GMG's Digital Deluxe pricing comes in higher, though, so you'll want to stick with Battle.net if you're after the big package.)

MODS/EMULATORS

Brutal Unreal 99 combines the weapons of Unreal Tournament with the enemies of Brutal Doom
http://www.dsogaming.com/news/brutal-unreal-99-combines-weapons-unreal-tournament-enemies-brutal-doom/
Modder ‘VictorCajal’ has released a mod called Brutal Unreal 99. As its title suggests, this mod basically combines the weapons of Unreal Tournament 99 with the enemies and gameplay mechanics of Brutal Doom. And it looks pretty cool.

You can get it from moddb.

 

Mod adds Dwemer-forged BB-8 Star Wars droid to Skyrim
http://www.pcgamer.com/mod-adds-dwemer-forged-bb-8-star-wars-droid-to-skyrim/
Having a faithful robot pal following me everywhere, beeping and booping and being helpful and cute, has been a dream of mine since the first Star Wars film. I'm still waiting for reality to catch up and provide me with my own R2D2, but in the meantime, at least there's a Skyrim mod that gives me a Dwemer-forged droid companion inspired by BB-8.

>>You can download it from Nexus Mods.

 

Pitting Star Wars against Star Trek in Star Wars: Empire at War
http://www.pcgamer.com/pitting-star-wars-against-star-trek-in-star-wars-empire-at-war/
Trek Wars: Revival is a mod by Captain Kavok that lets you add Star Trek factions to Empire at War, Petroglyph’s excellent Star Wars RTS. So if you’ve ever wondered if a fleet of Galaxy-class Federation starships could take down a Star Destroyer—and, honestly, who hasn’t—you can play that scenario out in the game’s fast-paced skirmish mode. The perfect opportunity, I thought, to pit a selection of iconic Star Wars and Star Trek factions against each other in a series of epic space battles.

>>They don't put the link to the mod, so here it is (to moddb).
