Get More Great Deals at the Steam Holiday Sale


Steam [http://store.steampowered.com/] is having a special 2009 Holiday Sale, with some ridiculously low prices on great games for the holidays.

It's a couple days before Christmas, everything's under control and you've finally got a few minutes to yourself. But you're also broke, because you blew all your hard-earned money buying crap for other people. What to do? Hook yourself up with some stupidly cheap videogames, courtesy of the guys at Valve!

There's a huge pile of stuff on sale and most of the price cuts are pretty drastic. All Atari [http://www.ubi.com] games on Steam is 66 percent off. Valve is also offering some amazing one-day deals, including Grand Theft Auto IV for $7.49, Mirror's Edge for $4.99 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, available for only $1.99. $1.99 for one of the finest shooters to come out in years!

There are way too many good deals to list and prices are all over the map, so even if your budget tops out at five bucks, there's still a big pile of titles to choose from. The Steam Holiday Sale is on now and runs through January 3.

Valve should really be paying the Escapist for all the up-til-now free advertising it's been getting.

Get Aquaria. Support kick-ass indie games.

Also, I totally had to pick up Beyond Good & Evil for $5.

Already got STALKER at a previous sale, but can't run it at any setting that doesn't chug like on this PoS PC.

Or they should just give us all a free game. That'd be nice.

Fantastic! Now I can get Dawn of War 2, Beyond Good And Evil and Mirror's Edge for nearly nothing!

Damned shame I missed the TF2 sale though, I know something who would've liked that game.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. did it better.

Not really on topic but I would also recommend taking a look at Good old Games and their sales. There are some gems up for low prices.

There's a lot of ridiculous deals in the Indie Games [http://store.steampowered.com/genre/Indie/] section. Looks like a ton of stuff is 75-80% off

Audiosurf [http://store.steampowered.com/app/12900/] for $2.50 is a complete no-brainer. If you don't have it, you have no excuse now.

Could someone tell me what makes STALKER so great? I just keep hearing about it...
.... Have you being living in a rock?
Under one, maybe.
Why S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is awsome you ask?
Well
-one of(if not) the best atmosphers in a game yet(only S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat cr0wned that)
-Big game world, with secrets, with a dynamic AI live(especially in Call of Pripyat)
-Good community
-lots of patches, and what isnt patched has been fixed by the community already
- Actually good Multiplayer(But why would you need it in this game...)
- there are lots more but i have chrismas preparations to do
-Mods
Soooo... Worth 2 bucks?

And when you say mods, would that even compare against GTA 4? Cause I just got that and am preparing to mod the funk out of it, but if there's a better mod funk-around game...

Stalker mod-fu kicks the pants off any of the GTA games.
