    Valve, in their almighty wisdom, have realised that being outside just isn't safe any more. From big oil spills to little viruses other people have, to the ear-bleeding noise of vuvuzelas, being outside is the worst place anyone can be right now.
    So to make up for it, Valve have started the Perils of Summer Sale. From now until July 4th, gamers can expect incredible savings off many titles, including special 1-day sales where prices of some games will be cut up to 90%!
    As an extra precaution, Valve advise you add extra sunscreen, because these savings are hot!
    Valve have added an encore sale of all the top sellers from the summer sale, good news for customers, bad news for those of us trying to point out the best deals. Regardless, here are some highlights:
    • Civilisation IV Complete has made a 75% price drop to ?6.24 ($9.48). An empire for that much is incredible!
    • Red Faction Guerilla has blown up its previous price, reducing it to a pile of rubble costing ?3.75 ($5.69).
    • Crime epic Grand Theft Auto IV is now ?4.99 ($7.58), perfect for getting your kids started with theft early, as this is practically a steal!

    So get buying, this is the last day of the sale, and is full of so many good deals to pass up.

    Someone give me $75 so I can buy the starwars collection.
  2. StarBob
    I wish I could just get Battlefront 2 on sale but instead of having the pieces of the pack on sale, you have to buy all of them to get any reduction. Lame.
  3. Matorbogl
    My thread was first. :p

    Anyway I'm hoping for a 50% off L4D2 sale sometime during this event.
  4. Lizardizzle
    YES! amazing. I love you, Valve.

    Now I can buy Bioshock 2! :3
  5. ZT
    Is the Witcher or Dark Messiah worth 6 bucks?
  6. unozero
    mhm...don't see anything I need right now.
  7. Dinnesch
    Great, gonna get a load of games to play during the long, long summer holiday.(assuming there will be some interesting deals)
  8. Quixoticism
    I'm hoping that Mass Effect goes on sale for this. It's the game I want right now the most.
  9. Warped
    Holy ****! I all ready have like $170 games!! maybe I'll get a few dozen more now
  10. ZT
    It was on sale on Saturday for like 10 bucks bro.
  11. taviow
    5 bucks... :|
  12. Shakermaker
    The Witcher is. Didn't like DM much tbh.
  13. Quixoticism
    !!! How did I not know about this? Sucks that I missed it.
  14. PvtRyan
    Bought Trine, why haven't I heard more about this game? Played 30 minutes and it was quite good.
  15. TwwIX
    Looks like Lead and Gold finally released the dedicated servers files and they cut the price in half.

    Been wanting to try it out for a while now.
  16. SpiderPig
    Any decent MP games that im missing out on?

    Gonna pick up the CoD collection.

    Edit: Just saw the Novalogic pack :eek: Thats me sorted for the next few weeks :D Loved Delta Force 2! Do people still play it online?
  17. Natan
    some people stated over a game of TF2 that you should avoid buying bioshock over steam, due to issues. I'm curious as to weather I should get bioshock 2 off of steam cause 15 bucks is a sweet deal.
  18. ZT
    Which xcoms should I get?
  19. StardogChampion
    What the hell...

    It says Overlord II = £6.79, yet the Overlord Pack (Includes 3 items: Overlord™, Overlord™: Raising Hell, Overlord II) = £3.75?

    Someone want to find a catch I'm not seeing?

    REPLY QUICK!!!!


    Too late, I bought the pack.
  20. Cyber$nake
    ...and this is why I love Steam.

    Bought The Witcher and World of Goo for today, I'll probably buy more throughout the next two weeks.
  21. DarkDamo
    You shouldn't buy Bioshock 2 period.

    Why has no one said that it is winter :( Summer was months ago. KEEP UP STEAM! (oh and nothing I am really interested in).
  22. StardogChampion
    Does Assassin's Creed II have that Ubisoft DRM?
  23. Naph
    Won't matter, steam requires online as well. Unless you have terrible connectivity problems.
  24. TwwIX
    Yes, it does. All their recent games do.
  25. dfc05
    Dude, how do you have so much time and money on your hands? Seriously. Usually people either have time or money but not both. No fair. :hmph:
    ...:p

    How segmented is Trine? Like are there a lot of frequent good stopping points in the game? (Yes, this is my now my main criterion for whether I buy/play a game anymore.)


    Just saw that an Introversion 4-game pack is only $5. I may get that even though I already own Darwinia (not on Steam though) and have no interest in Multiwinia. But $5 is a good deal and I like Introversion.
  26. DarkDamo
    Comparison with Steam doesn't work since Steam doesn't require you to be online 100% of the time and doesn't pause the game or kick you to the menu when you lose connection.
  27. Warped
    hmmmmm what games to buy....this is like Christmas!! E3 last week and now Steam deals this week. I can't wait till my mini vacation in July, I'm going to game the hell out of everything
  28. ZT
    I really want Alpha Protocol to go on sale :(
  29. taviow
    I think it's way too recent for that.
  30. -smash-
    Wow. They sure know how to sell me some games. :hmph:

    I just bought The Witcher.
  31. Evo
    You bought The Witcher? Good man :D
  32. Hazar
    I liked the witcher in the beginning but it becomes repetitious towards the middle of the game and takes awhile to finally beat.

    considering getting Assault on Dark Athena but not sure if I'll like it that much although I liked the first riddick game quite a lot.
  33. taviow
    Got The Witcher, too.

    Whoa 15gb...
  34. ríomhaire
    Oh god damn it. I got a good summer job and now I'm going to spend all my money on this. Very tempted to get the Telltale game pack. Any other recommendations?
  35. Warped
    A few games are like $1.75 or something like that. those prices aren't too steep
  36. Dekstar
    Just bought the Witcher as well. Looks like it's going to be awesome, and only £4.50.
  37. StardogChampion
    WTF I was just about to buy Killing Floor. I added it to my cart at £3.75 . Now it's £15.

    No sale.
  38. ZT
    Is Alpha Protocol worth 33 bucks?
  39. zbir
    Sale ended at 6 PM BST. They posted new ones now. Pretty good I would say - GTA for 9.99 pounds :D
