Steam Holiday Sale: December 28, 2013
We’ve hit the final stretch of the Steam Holiday Sale. Today is the final Saturday of this year’s edition of the sale seeing as it end at 1:00 PM EST next Friday. Don’t say that I haven’t warned you but I’ll probably give you a 48-hour warning on Wednesday.
Anyway, my indie game of the year, Gunpoint, is on sale for 66% off and I say that’s a must-buy even if it has inexplicably been left of every year-end list but mine. If triple-As are more your speed, Saints Row IV made a bunch of best of 2013 lists and is on sale for the next 48 hours.

If you’re looking for some triple-A games to fill out your collection, today is a good day for you to check out the Steam Holiday Sale. Hitman: Absolution and Portal 2 are your best bets today. If you’re willing to overspend compared to what you will likely have to pay in six months during the Summer Sale, there’s also Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
Still, there’s other good games worth picking up. Don’t Starve and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon are both available for $5.09 and both are worth it.

Just because the Yanks don’t have Boxing Day sales (or Boxing Day whatsoever) doesn’t mean that they aren’t getting sales today. That’s why Steam is here with more sales for you to spend your gifted money/Steam cards.
Just an FYI, the free copy of Left 4 Dead 2 is still available as of writing but it was only advertised as being available until 1:00 EST today. That offer appears to have been silently extended because of yesterday’s epic Steam outage. Jump on that fast because it could just be an error that hasn’t been caught yet.

Okay, I’m a little late with today’s Steam Sale info which might be troublesome for strategy gamers because you’re the biggest beneficiaries of the active flash sales. There are some recent releases available during the active daily deals should you be interested in those.
By the way, has anyone else ever noticed how terrible the Call of Duty sales always seem to be? You’d think they’d practically be giving away the older versions. Nope. Just 25% off. I think Activision is happy just taking money from the console folk.

We’ve reached the fifth day of the Steam Holiday Sale and I think I may call today The Day of Many Regrets. There are a lot of games on sale today that I bought for more than what I would have today.
For example, I bought Borderlands 2 and the Season Pass for about $25. Today, Borderlands 2 GOTY Edition is only $15. Amnesia: The Dark Decent is on for 80% off instead of the 75% off I bought it at. I’m pretty sure I would have saved an extra 25% on Dead Space 2. Add in yesterday’s deals that I overpaid on including Antichamber, Rogue Legacy, Max Payne 3 and Tomb Raider and you can see why I would call this a day of regrets.
You won’t regret getting them. You just regret buying them too soon. Damn Steam and their fantastic sales!

Steam Holiday Sale: December 22, 2013
Whether your thing is indie darlings or epic RPGs, today’s daily deals have you covered. Some of the year’s best indie games and some legendary RPGs are up for the taking for $4.99 or less. This is the point of the Steam Sale where your wallet is hopelessly decimated.

It’s day three of the annual Steam Holiday Sale. You know, it’s bad enough that Christmas gifts are devastating my wallet, now I have Steam plucking money out too. Damn you, GabeN!
Anyway, there are some good picks in the current deals if you don’t already own them. Daily deals on Sleeping Dogs and the Star Wars: The Old Republic series. On the flash sales, there’s XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut. Definitely some great deals open right now.

Steam Holiday Sale: December 20, 2013
Have we all made it to the second day of the Steam Holiday Sale without going bankrupt? I did though I was close to clearing out my wishlist yesterday. I’ll probably be even closer today with some of the flash sales and community picks over the next 24 hours. I’ve pretty much gotten all of the daily deals I like in the last sale. Mind you, Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior might get a buy.
Two quick reminders before we go on. First, the daily deals are for 48 hours so you have until 1:00 PM EST tomorrow to get The Stanley Parable for 40% off. (That’s a note-to-self. All of yesterday’s daily deals are still active today.) And second, the prices tend to change as Valve discovers errors. The BioShock Infinite season pass and DLC was 75% for a few minutes yesterday before that was corrected. I just missed it but that would have been a great deal considering there’s one piece still to be released.

Hold On To Your Wallets! The Steam Holiday Sale is Underway!
Has your wallet sufficiently recovered from the last Steam sale that only ended three weeks ago? Well, too bad. It’s time for the annual Steam Holiday Sale. If you missed any of the deals from the Autumn Sale, they’ll be back again here. The only difference between the Autumn and Holiday Sale deals is that there’s more time during this sale for flash sales, daily deals and community picks. Otherwise, the discounts will be the same.
As always, I’ll remind you at the start of the sale that you shouldn’t buy anything until the end of the sale unless it’s a daily deal, flash sale or a community pick. If something you want isn’t popping up on there, wait until the end of the sale to buy it.
