Steam’s “Early Holiday” Sale Offers Great Games for Cheap

Black Friday is right around the corner, and there’s sure to be great deals all over the place, both online and off. Retailers and e-tailers all over are getting in on the fun, but the one to catch my attention is one that Valve is holding, through its Steam platform. Beginning today, and running through until Monday, it’ll be offering a collection of games each day at nicely discounted prices. Each deal will last just 24 hours, so acting fast is the way to go.

Currently, games such as Batman: Arkham Asylum, Champions Online, Far Cry 2 and Fallen Earth are priced at 50% off, with the newly-released Dragon Age seeing a nice 25% drop in price. The indie Osmos has an incredible 80% off, to settle in at $2, while Race Driver: GRID is 75% off to sell for $7.50. If you want to get a lot of games taken care of all at once, you can purchase the Lucasart pack, which includes 16 titles for $50 (60% off), or THQ’s pack, which includes 18 titles, for $50 as well (50% off).

If none of the games offered interest you (how could they not?!), you can purchase any as a gift. Remember, the deals change every-single day, up to Monday, so if a game you’ve been eyeing isn’t available today, it may be tomorrow.
