In addition to all this, the Community Choice is live once again. You can vote now between Hack n Slash, Neverending Nightmares, and The Amazing Spiderman 2. The winner will go on sale tomorrow at a 66% discount, and a new vote will be posted.
Of course, those are just the featured deals on the front page. You can search the Steam library and look at hundreds of titles that are on sale for the holidays. The search function is awesome and lets you search by genre or price or title, so if you have your eye on a specific game or are just browsing for something new, it’s easy to find the right game.
This is a great time to check out some new and perhaps unusual games with very low monetary risk–you pay five bucks for a game that might be good, or even great. If it’s bad, you didn’t lose out too much. There are also usually some big names that go on sale during this time (I’ve got my eye on Dark Souls II, personally). I highly recommend checking out some of the titles from the Steam holiday sale and watching the deals as they change from day to day.
