If you haven’t yet experienced the original BioShock and its solid if not quite as magical sequel, now is the time. Gamefly is offering both games on PC for $5, and if you use this Dealzon coupon code, you’ll pay just $4. If that doesn’t fill the hole left in your life by the ending of BioShock Infinite I am unsure what will. Probably nothing. There is only sorrow, forever.

Thanks, Joystiq.

Gamefly, the video game rental service, has laid-off 15% of its staff in order to “better align” the company to the “existing console and digital games markets.” The firm told GI International the service will be able to continue functioning the same with the smaller team. There won’t be any “significant” changes made to its business or service model, as the company “remains profitable with a strong balance sheet.” Get more through the link.

Game rental service and digital distributor GameFly issued a round of lay-offs earlier today. The company explained the cuts as a result of restructuring, but did not give details. Joystiq cites one anonymous source for word that cuts were around one third of total staff, while another put the figure at 35.

Ravaged, the FPS multiplayer online game from 2 Dawn Games, has a new DLC pack available for no charge. It adds a new arsenal of weapons, vehicles, and game modes along with the new chainsaw and flamethrower. It also comes with a moveable dump truck, and two new game modes: Team Deathmatch and Hijack. XP gains have also been improved, and ammo has been reduced to encourage players to “scavenge for weapons and ammo to stay alive.” Ravaged can be picked up on Steam for $9.99, and players can also grab the first Apocalypse DLC Pack for free as well. You can also pick the game up through: Rain Digital Games, 2DawnGames, GameStop, GamersGate, Origin, Green Man Gaming, and GameFly
