<div class="IPBDescription">Yet again....</div>So, Steam has done it again and is doing their Holiday sale. Except it's a bit early this year.
<a href="http://store.steampowered.com/" target="_blank">http://store.steampowered.com/</a>
There's a bunch of stuff discounted in general until Jan 3rd, but there are also a set of games each day, on rotation, just like the Thanksgiving sale.
Enjoy!

Nope. There's a 25% discount on L4D2, and I bought a 4-pack which resulted in a reduced, ~28€ / head cost. Shame my laptop is still being a worthless heap of junk, so I can't play it too soon.
No that was Steam itself! It's stupid I know. It's because they have their automated system now where as before you always had to manually input it.
That's more than an awesome deal. That's <b>awesome</b>.
If you haven't tried SH, you should hurry up. It's only gonna cost 5 bucks for a couple more hours.
btw, happy new year all :D
btw, happy new year all :D<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Two hours prior to today's sale I was thinking "I hope they put Mass Effect on Sale so I can play it on the PC before Mass Effect 2 comes out" :D
if you've already beaten it on the console like me, I recommend just cheating with console commands on the PC to max out your level and stuff. I didn't have the patience to play it through 2 more times on the PC so I'm just cheating myself some xp and paragon/renegade points and beating it once at max level so my save is ready for the sequel. Now I only have to beat it one more time!
I'm having a lot of fun with it. It's pretty much what you'd expect - funny dialog, neat visuals, fun if a little repetitive combat, and pretty short. I wouldn't pay full price for it, but definitely sale price
- Commandos 2: for nostalgia. Played 5 mins, wil probably never play again. £2
- World in Conflict (and the expansion). A good team-based RTS hampered by low population. Worth the sale price. £10
- Civilsation IV (and the expansions). Bit of an impulse buy, trying to slog through the glacial early game pace, failing so far. £8
- GTA IV. Had no interest in this but some buddies on Steam persuaded me the multiplayer is ace. £5
Total = £25
Torchlight
Trine
Mr Robot
STALKER Clear Sky
Burnout Paradise
Defense Grid: The Awakening
Red Faction: Guerrilla

and Borderlands DLC: The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned
Glad I got most of it at 75-80% off.

Mirror's Edge
