Valve slowly begins to wind down their Steam Holiday Sale on the twelfth day of the event. They have by no means stopped however, as the sale is projected to proceed through the new year and the first few days of 2012.

For the time, though, the savings continue to appear, with the spotlight being shone on games such as Super Meat Boy and Fallout: New Vegas at bargain prices.

The New Year is right around the corner, and Valve is making sure they go out with a bang as more deals were rolled out earlier today during the Steam Holiday Sale. Twelve new deals were announced, revealing huge discounts on well-known series and franchises, such as Valve’s very own Left 4 Dead, or the infamous Quake.

Steam hits the double digits with day ten of its annual Holiday Sale. With twelve new deals and six new opportunities to receive free games every day, it’s been quite the past ten days. Thankfully, they still have some time to reveal the tricks up their sleeve, as the sale will continue for a few days longer before concluding after the New Year.
Today’s deals can be found at store.steampowered.com, and include:
Ten days into the sale, and the Steam Holiday Sale continues with its usual big-name headlining sales. The Call of Duty franchise makes an appearance once more with 50% off Black Ops, while the more casual gamer can kick back with 75% off the infamous Terraria.

Christmas may have come and gone, but the Steam Holiday Sale is still continuing on at full-force. Given the current trend of incredible sales over the past few days, it’s predictable that they will keep this pace going over the last few days of the event. One of today’s headline sales, SEGA’s Sonic Generations, has managed to climb to #1 on the sales charts today, overcoming games such as Modern Warfare 3 and Skyrim with its 66% off price tag. Other sales, such as Bastion or WORMS, have also managed to climb high in the charts, making today a memorable day in the Holiday Sale. These sales can be found at http://store.steampowered.com/
Today’s sales feature:
It’s already the day before Christmas, but Steam still continues to produce incredible deals on the sixth day of their holiday sale. For the first time ever on Steam, the price of the infamous Elder Scrolls: Skyrim has dropped significantly, along with other big names such as Prototype and Borderlands. With deals as big as these surfacing so early in the sale, it leaves many wondering what else could possibly arise in the days to come. A particularly interesting thought is what will become of the final day, when there is traditionally a wrap-up of the event featuring the biggest deals of the season. Only time will tell.
For the time being, today’s sales include:
Only five days into the sale, and Steam has continued to show that they have plenty of big names up their sleeves. While big-name franchises such as Half Life and Mass Effect have appeared over the past four days, Steam has shown they have plenty more to sell with today’s deals on games such as Saint’s Row: The Third and Dirt 3. As always, six new achievements have been released, which could lead to prizes such as free games or coupons.
Today’s online deals feature:
Day 4 of the Steam Holiday Sale once more serves gamers with drastic price drops for the next 24 hours.

Today, these deals consist of:
Steam keeps up with their own beat on day three of their annual holiday sale. Along with twelve limited-time offers, six new achievements for the Great Gift Pile have also been announced to coincide with the day’s deals. As a reminder, the previous days’ achievements are still up for grab, though most of the deals which accompany them are no longer available. Every day so far there has been a free achievement, which can be earned either through a free-to-play game such as Spiral Knights or the Steam platform itself.

Valve has started their annual holiday sale through their revolutionary Steam platform.
Through January 1st, new deals on games hosted by the Steam platform will be announced. These deals are traditionally some of the best of the year, with some packages as much as 91% off their normal price. Each day, the deals will change until the celebration concludes at the beginning of January.
In addition to individual prices, various bundles and developer packages will be available for purchase at drastically reduced prices every day during the sale.
Today’s individual sales include 75% off the following games:
In addition to the sale, Steam will also host an event called “The Great Gift Pile.” The concept is similar to the system used for the Steam Summer of Games event earlier this year. Every day, a short list of achievements will be released relating to various games on sale. Upon completing each achievement, the player will receive a gift box on Steam which will contain either a piece of coal or a gift containing some kind of Steam-related gift. New achievements will be released each day, but any past achievements can be unlocked through the duration of the sale.
Gifts can be opened to claim either a full game or coupons to be used on Steam following the sale. Coal, on the other hand, is slightly more complex. Initially, coal is worthless, but seven lumps of it can be crafted into a gift. However, coal can also be saved for entries into the Epic Holiday Giveaway on January 2nd. At this point, each lump of coal you have left will be entered into a grand prize drawing. 1,000 winners will receive the Valve Complete Pack, 100 winners will receive the top five items on their wishlist, 50 will receive the top ten items on their wishlist, and a single grand prize winner will receive every single game on Steam.
As a result of the sale, traffic on Steam has skyrocketed, leading to a laggy connection with servers and sluggish download speeds. This is not uncommon for such a large event, and will most likely be resolved in the very near future.
