The Steam sales are vicious. They are intimidating, pulverizing, and downright cruel in their utter bluntness. They make no presumptions about whether or not you’re going to buy something. And, they simply assume that you will buy something, and you will buy it soon. Even as of the time of this writing, I’ve already spent over $100 on games, and plan to spend another $100 sometime next week. But while Steam sales can be a huge catastrophe to your wallet, it is also a great opportunity to afford that game you’ve always wanted. Or it can even be a chance to pick up something you wouldn’t have before.
The internet has often played around with the destructive force that is the Steam Sales. Here’s one (slightly NSFW) example.
There are many great bargains available right now. Some are obvious, and some are more hidden and obscure. Below is a list of games I find worthy of consideration, on a number of levels. The games selected were chosen due to a balance between how new it is, in proportion to how much of a price drop occurred. Not to mention, of course, the general reception to the game, and how positive it was.
Including a description of each game would have made this article much too long, however. So for convenience, a link to each store page has been provided. You can check out whatever game most interests you for yourself this way. Try not to have too much fun this weekend.
