Steam's big holiday sale is back.

I know this sounds like an advertisement, but if there is one time of the year to buy games really inexpensively it is between now and January 2. Steam on a daily basis puts about a dozen games on sale. Sometimes the games are 66%, 50%, 75% or more off, and this is not just for their normally low priced relatively crappy games that almost nobody wants , but quite often for really good games that normally sell for $40, $50 or $60. There are also developer packs for sale that include all or many of their games significantly discounted.

What goes on sale each day changes at 10 AM Pacific.

Welcome to Steam

Darn. CoD: Black Ops isn't on the list.

Why doesn't any CoD game ever go on sale...

Yeah...I noticed that too. Perhaps we might get lucky and they will have one or two on sale before January 2?

I will be calling out what I think are the best deals of the day.

Today Defense Grid is on sale at 2 bucks...you can't lose at that price with it being cheaper than a beer. I really enjoy this strategy game that at times really makes you think.

BioShock 2 is 50% off at $10.00

Resident Evil is 66% off at $10.60

Aion is 75% off at $10.00
