Steam Holiday Sale Bonanza

Posted by Mike Bendel on December 23, 2009 @ 9:59 pm

As if you haven’t already spent enough during this year’s season of gift giving, Steam has officially launched its annual slate of holiday deals. With savings selectively hitting the 80 percent mark, a plethora of titles from nearly every publisher have been discounted, putting last month’s round of discounts on the service to shame. In fact, as there’s an overwhelming amount of deals to list, we suggest heading over to the Steam Holiday Sale page pronto for a quick view at what’s available. Or not, if you value what’s left in your wallet. Valve says the sale will run through January 3, with a select number of limited-time special promotions appearing throughout its duration.

Currently, these limited time only offers include the likes of Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, Grand Theft Auto IV, Mirror’s Edge, Defense Grid: The Awakening, and STALKER — all of which been marked down significantly below their sale price until December 24. There’s some real steals there — GTA IV is only $7.49 while STALKER is a paltry $1.99.  Perfect for last-minute gifts. Look for the next round of timed deals to appear sometime tomorrow.

I got mirrors edge and S.T.A.L.K.E.R :D

Im having the same problem with the server overload :p it took me 5 1/2 hours to install mirrors edge. it said it would take 2 or 3 :/

Great deal though :D

is s.t.a.l.k.e.r online ? if so at that price I'll pick it up and we'll play :p

rainbow six vegas 2 was most definitly worth $4.99 as multiplayer is still very loaded ,

no trouble finding any games what so ever .

MenaceInc says:

It does have multiplayer online but not sure of how many play it now. It's definitely worth the money though. Hell, I've bought it twice, once in retail for £10 and again on Steam for about £3 :D

So far I've picked up Serious Sam HD, STALKER: Clear Sky, Mirror's Edge, OutRun 2006, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, and Riddick. I wasn't aware STALKER had online, it's worth it for the single player experience alone though.

I hope Fallout 3 GOTY gets discounted further as one of the special promotions.

angelsniper45 says:

Its a shame mirrors edge doesnt run on my pc, but at least ill have all my games ready for when i get my upgrade ;)

MenaceInc says:

Same here for Fallout 3 seeing as I bought the game at release but the GOTY version would give me the DLC.

Hell, even now would cost me less than buying all the DLC seperate through GFWL
