<p><em>This sponsored post is produced by Dealzon.</em></p>
<p>For those that have been eagerly awaiting the release of next week’s BioShock Infinite, you’re in luck (if you’re a PC gamer) because the retailers are in a full blown preorder bonus slug fest. 2K has given additional incentives for the digital preorder, offering additional freebie games such as <em>XCOM: Enemy Unknown</em> across all retailers. The best offer is currently <a href="http://www.dealzon.com/buy/bioshock-infinite-pc-download?drc=gamesbeat" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">at Green Man Gaming</a> (best value with credit and three free games). Check the table below to compare and contrast all the pre-order bonus offers.</p>
<h3>BioShock Infinite Preorder Bonus Comparison</h3>
<p>All digital preorder from retailers below will get:</p>
<ul>
<li>Copy of the original <em>Bioshock</em> and <em>XCOM: Enemy Unknown</em></li>
<li><em>Industrial Revolution DLC</em> pack (3 gear items, 500 bonus in-game currency, 5 lock picks, and the Industrial Revolution puzzle game)
</li>
</ul>

<h3>Upcoming Releases</h3>
<p><img style="width:80px;float:left;margin-right:15px;" alt="" src="http://images1.dealzon.com/cdn_pictures/deals/24385/large/bioshock-infinite-pc-download-10-cash-back-or-15-gmg-credit.jpg?1363783158" />March 26: <strong><a href="http://www.dealzon.com/deals/bioshock?drc=gamesbeat:bioshock-infinite-pc-download" target="_blank">BioShock Infinite + Preorder Bonuses</a> (PC Download) — $59.99 at Green Man Gaming</strong>. Choose between $15 Credit or $14 Cash Back and three free games. This is probably one of the better BioShock Infinite offers on the market. <a href="http://www.dealzon.com/blog/bioshock-infinite-pre-order-bonus-comparison" target="_blank">Compare bonus here</a>.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="width:80px;float:left;margin-right:15px;" alt="" src="http://images1.dealzon.com/cdn_pictures/deals/26733/large/army-of-two-the-devil-s-cartel-xbox-360-1600-xbox-live-points.jpg?1358515610" />March 26: <strong><a href="http://www.dealzon.com/deals/army-of-two?drc=gamesbeat:army-of-two-the-devils-cartel-xbox-360" target="_blank">Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel </a> (Xbox 360, PS3) — $59.99 at Amazon</strong>. Another next week Tuesday release. Like Bioshock Infiniteeverywhere seems to be charging full price but Amazon is offering the game with a $20 credit. Credit is good towards nearly everything on Amazon.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Recent Releases</h3>
<p><img style="width:80px;float:left;margin-right:15px;" alt="" src="http://images0.dealzon.com/cdn_pictures/deals/23028/large/god-of-war-ascension-ps3-.jpg?1353423926" /><strong><a href="http://www.dealzon.com/deals/god-of-war?drc=gamesbeat:god-of-war-ascension-ps3" target="_blank">God of War: Ascension + God of War Saga</a> (PS3) — $59.99 at GameStop</strong>. This is a pretty stellar deal considering you’re getting GoW: Saga, which contains all previous God of War titles.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="width:80px;float:left;margin-right:15px;" alt="" src="http://images0.dealzon.com/cdn_pictures/deals/21588/large/dead-space-3-limited-edition-pc-download-.jpg?1353419531" /><strong><a href="http://www.dealzon.com/deals/dead-space-3?drc=gamesbeat:dead-space-3-pc" target="_blank">Dead Space 3</a> (PC Download, Xbox 360, PS3) — $29.99 at Origin</strong>. Thanks to EA’s “player appreciation sale” the recently released Dead Space 3 is now at lowest ever price.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="width:80px;float:left;margin-right:15px;" alt="" src="http://images3.dealzon.com/cdn_pictures/deals/21591/large/crysis-3-hunter-edition-pc-download-.jpg?1362396998" /><strong><a href="http://www.dealzon.com/deals/crysis-3-cheap?drc=gamesbeat:crysis-3-pc" target="_blank">Crysis 3</a> (PC Download, Xbox 360, PS3) — $29.99 at Origin</strong>. Along with Dead Space 3, Crysis 3 joins the rank of heavily discounted games. Some may say the IPs are being diluted in pricing, but we say, more discounts please.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Console game deals</h3>
<p><img style="width:80px;float:left;margin-right:15px;" alt="" src="http://images0.dealzon.com/cdn_pictures/deals/27544/large/the-amazing-spider-man-ultimate-edition-wii-u.jpg?1363800713" /><strong><a href="http://www.dealzon.com/deals/amazing-spider-man?drc=gamesbeat:the-amazing-spider-man-wii-u" target="_blank">The Amazing Spider-Man Ultimate Edition</a> (Wii U) — $29.99 at GameStop</strong>. A pretty recent March 5th Wii U release just dropped $10 at Gamestop. Amazon decided to price match but elsewhere the game is the full $39.99 list price.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<h3>PC download deals</h3>
<p><img style="width:80px;float:left;margin-right:15px;" alt="" src="http://images3.dealzon.com/cdn_pictures/deals/20911/large/sid-meier-s-civilization-v-gods-and-kings-pc-download-.jpg?1353417423" /><strong><a href="http://www.dealzon.com/deals/civilization-v?drc=gamesbeat:civilization-v-gods-and-kings" target="_blank">Sid Meier&#8217;s Civilization V: Gods and Kings</a> (PC Download) — $7.49 at GameFly</strong>. Next best is $30 at Green Man Gaming. Thursday-only GameFly has a great price for Civ V’s Gods and Kings expansion pack. Ratings are consistently good with a 4/5 on Amazon and 80/100 on Metacritic.<br />
&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="width:80px;float:left;margin-right:15px;" alt="" src="http://images2.dealzon.com/cdn_pictures/deals/14566/large/the-witcher-2-assassins-of-kings-enhanced-edition-pc-download-.jpg?1353404756" /><strong><a href="http://www.dealzon.com/deals/witcher-2-assassins-of-kings-pc?drc=gamesbeat:witcher-2-assassins-of-kings-pc" target="_blank">The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition</a> (PC Download) — $6 at Origin</strong>. Next best is $20 at GamersGate. The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition is one of the more notable “Player Appreciation” sale games out there. At only six bucks it’s actually cheapest ever by $4.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

Next best is $28 at Amazon. Another six dollar gem is Borderlands GOTY at GMG. It ties the previous low price only seen a month ago in a weekend sale. Otherwise the game has been around the $10-$30 mark. The current next best price online is $28 on Amazon. Game activates on Steam.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>Just a few weeks after <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2012/12/27/bluestacks-android-apps-mac-beta/">bringing every Android app to Macs</a>, Bluestacks announced its largest deal ever today &#8212; with Lenovo. Bluestacks&#8217; Android app player will now be pre-installed on Lenovo&#8217;s Idea-branded PCs, including Ideapad laptops and IdeaCentre desktops, covering around 40 million systems.</p>
<p>Bluestacks app players allow you to run Android apps on your PC by virtualizing the Android environment (similar to what VMWare and other virtualization solutions have done in the past). The company is also developing an app for Lenovo smartphones that will synchronize the Android apps consumers install on their Lenovo PCs.</p>
<p>&#8220;While this is the largest distribution deal we&#8217;ve struck to date, it is just the beginning of our work with Lenovo,&#8221; said BlueStacks CEO, Rosen Sharma, in an email to VentureBeat. &#8220;A lot of people don&#8217;t know this, but Lenovo is one of the top mobile phone makers in the world. We are planning with them to roll out our mobile app on these devices in Q3, which will then sync with the Lenovo PC.&#8221;</p>
<p>By helping to spread Android across a wide variety of PCs, Bluestacks is doing much of Google&#8217;s work for it (like many of Google&#8217;s Android partners). When it comes to PCs, Google is focused on its web services &#8212; not bringing its mobile apps to bigger screens. (Just take a look at Google&#8217;s Chromebook PCs, which are entirely focused on the web.) But with popular services like Instagram taking a mobile-first approach, it&#8217;s only a matter of time before consumers will seek out a solution like Bluestacks.</p>
<p>Bluestacks says the deal has been six months in the making, and it follows <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2012/09/27/amd-launches-appzone-to-bring-android-apps-to-pcs-powered-by-bluestacks/">recent deals with AMD</a>, <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2012/06/03/asus-bluestacks-android-apps/">Asus</a>, and MSI to bring Android apps to their PCs. Altogether, the company&#8217;s app player will be pre-loaded on more than 100 million PCs this year.</p>
<p>Lenovo isn&#8217;t shying away from promoting the deal. The Bluestacks app will be one of the first things consumers see when they boot up their PCs. Lenovo will also feature Bluestacks software on at least 17 systems at its <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2013/01/06/your-roadmap-to-ces-2013-parties-events-and-survival-tips/">CES</a> booth this week.</p>
<p>Campbell, Calif.-based BlueStacks has raised $15 million so far from Andreessen Horowitz, Ignition Venture Management, Citrix Systems, and others.</p>
