Steam Sale Goes to War With Discounts on Wings of Prey, the Mass Effect Series and More
Xav de Matos
23
Although the Shack staff is huddled around a campfire, regaling each other with stories of our video game exploits, we couldn't stop in to the office to remind our loyal readers of some great deals happening around the web.

Today, the Steam holiday sales rolls on, this time with sales on the Mass Effect series, Blur, and much more. Today's special bonus discount item is Dead Rising 2: users who own Resident Evil 5 on Steam will receive an additional 10% off--totaling 60% off the regular price.

This wave of sales end tomorrow at 1pm ET, so get while the getting is cheap.

Those who prefer to buy in bulk can grab publisher library bundle packs, including sets from 2K Games, THQ, Epic Games, Bethesda Softworks, Rockstar Games, Valve Software, and Square Enix/Eidos.

    Very disappointed in the whole thing so far. Were New Year deals last year better than the christmas deals?

      Were you looking for something specific?

        Yeah, most of the stuff I either already had or not interested in. Too bad. :(

          Well, remember, that's painful, but it's more an acknowledgement that you already succumbed to the Steam Sale on previous occasions, so many very good offers are now useless to you. A supermarket offering three-for-one on toilet paper doesn't become a bad offer just because you already bought enough to fill a room.

            No I didn't really cash in on any previous Christmas sales. The only thing I'd have bought again now was Burnout Paradise, and everything else was either not cheap enough for me to bite, I already played (like darksiders) or was just not my thing. And the stuff I wanted to go on daily sale, like Grid or Street Fighter, haven't so far. So that makes it disappointing for me so far.

      I think that it has more to do with the games that came out this year and last year. The first year they did this they had a bunch of games from 2007 (best year ever for computer games) on good sales. Now they have a bunch of 2009/2010 games.
