Wanna-be surgeons should head over to Steam and try their hand at Surgeon Simulator 2013. At present, the game is 30% off until April 22, so until then you can grab it for $6.99 instead of $9.99. Looking over the video for it, it appears to be a game in which you can torture patients at will – all in hilariously, diabolical ways of course. Since landing on Steam Greenlight, the game has been given more environments, and new operations. Check it out through the link and watch the video below.

The Mac and PC versions of SimCity are multiplayer compatible, according to PCGamesN. Since anybody who owns the PC version will also have free access to a Mac copy, this means you can merrily migrate your account back and forth between the two platforms, which just goes to show there’s at least one upside to this always-on cloud stuff.
