 It’s Monday, and while normally, that just means the weekend is over and your smile is dead, for the next few weeks, it also means that Direct2Drive’s discounting new batches of games. Hooray!

This week, the five dollar frenzy continues with an influx of MMOs, RPGs, and – for some reason – Assassin’s Creed and GTA: Vice City. But whatever – we’re not complaining. The full list of additions is as follows:

• Neverwinter Nights 2
• Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir
• Assassin's Creed Director's Cut
• Elven Legacy
• EVE Online
• Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
• Titan Quest Bundle
• Planetside: Aftershock
• Drakensang: The Dark Eye
• Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
