Jelly Deals roundup: Little Nightmares, Overcooked, Saints Row 4 and more
Plus: StarCraft for free, because Blizzard likes you.
A note from the editor: Jelly Deals is a deals site launched by our parent company, Gamer Network, with a mission to find the best bargains out there. Look out for the Jelly Deals roundup of reduced-price games and kit every Saturday on Eurogamer.
The Easter break has come and gone and it's been long enough by now that you've probably made it out of the chocolate coma. Hopefully, at least, since we've got another batch of the week's best gaming and tech deals to check out, with some freebies thrown in for good measure. On a semi-related note, we've put together a definitive list of the best amiibo deals and prices over at Jelly Deals, so if that's your thing, head over there and check it out.
Right, onto the deals! As usual, we've got deals that'll work in the UK, deals that'll work in the US and some deals that will work in both the UK and US, as well as presumably many other places. Let's get started.
UK & US Deals
In case you missed it during the week, Blizzard has now made both the original StarCraft and its Brood War expansion pack completely free on both PC and Mac. This is, of course, ahead of the release of the prettied-up StarCraft Remastered coming later this year, but hey, it's a free copy of StarCraft. Fill your boots.

One last thing of note back at GOG.com this week, the site announced its pre-order offer for upcoming horror puzzle-platformer Little Nightmares. Pre-ordering a PC copy of the game from GOG will give you instant access to the now-BAFTA-winning Inside from PlayDead. That game alone is worth about £15, so it's not a bad offer at all. If you were planning on picking up Little Nightmares anyway, this one is a no-brainer.

If you're the 'reader' type of human, odds are good that by now you already own a Kindle. If not, however, you can currently pick up a Kindle Paperwhite with £20 off, or a Kindle Voyage with £30 off from Amazon UK. That's a limited-time offer and is for the versions of these Kindles that include 'special offers', of course, but it's there if you fancy it.
Here's one for the film buffs and Blu-ray collectors out there, myself included. Amazon UK is celebrating the first anniversary of the UK range of Criterion Collection Blu-rays with a big ol' sale and some nice discounts. For those not in the know, the Criterion Collection is a range that gives cinematic classics an extra special edition release with all the trimmings. The entire UK range is discounted right now, mostly down to £14.33 for a limited time.
