The Made in Poland Sale is an annual event on GOG.COM where the DRM-free storefront spotlights prime examples of the creativity and craftsmanship of Polish game developers.
Official Steam code retailer Fanatical has a 24-hour-only deal on Dying Light: The Following Enhanced Edition plus a copy of Call of Juarez for $14.99. A free Steam account is required.

The American old west has inspired countless different video games and produced some amazing pieces of music over the years, so let's have a listen to just a few such tracks."
