"New deals everyday and hundreds of of deals all weekend".

Way too many games to list. A few standouts are Black Ops, Mass Effect 2, Portal 2 and Orcs Must Die.

Black Ops is 50% off, $44.99 (originally $89.99)
Orcs Must Die is 75% off $3.74 ($14.99) + DLC

All prices are in USD.

EDIT: I just sunk $95 into this sale. I didn't buy much of the big titles, but I took this chance to buy a lot of the indie stuff that have been heavily discounted at 75% off. I try to support the Indie Developers as much as I can.

Some purchase highlights are Mass Effect 1 + 2, Spectromancer (Designed by Garfield, who also designed Magic: the Gathering). Orcs Must Die + DLC, Dungeon Defenders + DLC, Fortex 2, ARES (For Megaman X fans), Commandos Collection (3 awesome games for less than 4 bucks?), NightSky (designers of Limbo), and a whole lot more. Awesome sale so far. I almost fear for my bank account for the other upcoming sales the next few days.

Which games did you guys purchase?

      http://steamgamesales.com/ used to be really good for a single-page listing, not sure if it still works well as now it aggregates a number of sites.

  • pilchard on 24/11/2011 - 07:54

    Finally Serious Sam is at a decent price.

      More like a Serious price.

    • zzyss on 26/11/2011 - 08:52

    How much for Mass Effect 2? I can't see it at work.

    • penrithman on 24/11/2011 - 08:51
      +3

      $4.99, probably the pick of the sale. Disappointed Civ 5 isn't more heavily discounted.

      • bym on 24/11/2011 - 09:05

        Is it the digital deluxe?

        • stylecrime on 24/11/2011 - 09:28
          +2

          $9.99 for DD version.

  • ItsMeAgro on 24/11/2011 - 09:08

    Mass Effect 2: worth getting the digital deluxe edition? (is the soundtrack DRM-free? are the items significantly useful/good?)

    • squall3031 on 24/11/2011 - 10:30
      +1

      Same here. I'm wondering whether I should get the Digital Deluxe Edition. Hmmmm.,….it seems getting the extra DLC for Mass Effect 1 and 2 is a little inconvenient. A little hassle involved. -_-; Register the games to Bioware website and download…

      sigh….

      But nevertheless, I got the deluxe edition plus STALKER: Clear Sky.

      • Captain Obvious on 24/11/2011 - 13:54

        I would. You get extra DLC that you can't get any other way, and it's only an extra $5.

          It has to be registered on the Bioware site to get it in-game. Just sayin'

      • Telios on 26/11/2011 - 19:09

        Good choice with STALKER, that game flew under alot of peoples' radars, and it is superb.

        One of the best FPS that came out in years and one of a few games that can really freak me the fuck out.

    Just a general recomendation…Unless it is at least 70% off wait. There is always the chance that if something is "Only" 25-66% off it could be listed as a daily deal later in the sale. Just add it to your wishlist and buy it if it becomes a daily deal or on the last day.

    • PlagueistheCheap on 24/11/2011 - 09:50

      +1 very good idea

    • AzzaD on 24/11/2011 - 12:17

        Welcome to the club! You can check out, but you can never leave.

    • Ace on 24/11/2011 - 15:37

      Yeah, I always do that whenever they have a sale. Wait to see if the games I want get listed as a daily deal and if they don't, then I just buy them on the last day. :)

      Hoping BC2 is listed as a daily deal.

  • bohn on 24/11/2011 - 09:36

    Some good deals

  • blitz on 24/11/2011 - 10:10

    Fallout: New Vegas is $19….hmmmm…..

    • wisc on 24/11/2011 - 10:32

      still cheaper in the US again, exactly what i was looking at!

    • cmdwedge on 24/11/2011 - 13:29

      Have buried easily 100 hours into that game already. Buy it, buy it, buy it.

    • morini on 25/11/2011 - 07:51

      it's now $10. I haven't played Fallout 3 or New Vegas, if I were to get one, which is better?

      • blitz on 25/11/2011 - 10:11

        Thanks for the heads up!! Looks like that's another month of work down the drain.

        BTW play Fallout 3 first. It's VERY good.

        • Captain Obvious on 25/11/2011 - 13:13

          Hmm, $10 for the game is good, but then another $13.50 for all of the DLC… Might wait for the GOTY/Gold edition.

        • cheng2008 on 26/11/2011 - 01:38

          dlc was rated poorly by reviews, so i probably won't bother with them. $10 is as good as it gets.

  • sachimo2000 on 24/11/2011 - 10:12

    Portal 2 for $10.19. Bargain! Absolute ripper of a game. Incredibly funny writing and great voice acting too!

    • ItsMeAgro on 24/11/2011 - 11:45

      In true ozbargainer fashion, I was gonna wait 'til it goes under $10 (I won't get around to playing it until after the christmas sale anyway) but hell, the money all goes to valve anyway. It's like a donation really.

    • P.Sherman on 24/11/2011 - 13:56

      Agreed. No doubt Steam will feature it in the weekend giveaway :P

    • lucksmith on 24/11/2011 - 23:09

      tempted to get this, but I haven't even played Portal 1 yet. I got Portal for free when they were giving copies away for "educational" purposes, or something along those lines. I got lucky.

      • blitz on 24/11/2011 - 23:54

        Portal's excellent, well worth playing. I just played it again a couple of months ago.

      • [Deactivated] on 25/11/2011 - 11:25

          umm.. they did give it away for free you know.. that's when i got it

        • lucksmith on 25/11/2011 - 22:51
          +4

          Valve gave away copies for educational purposes. All you had to go do was register on their website for it and they will give you one for free. From what I've heard, Portal is an awesome game, why would you want to pirate them? You should support these developers so that they could create more games for us consumers to enjoy.

        • stylecrime on 26/11/2011 - 13:40
          +1

          I think everyone who pirates games should try and make one themselves. At least then they'll understand how much hard work they're refusing to pay a few dollars for.

  • wisc on 24/11/2011 - 10:35
    +1

    man, region pricing you suck!

    yes i get its not steam, its the developers: dodgy!

    shouldn't be buying any games that are cheaper in the US than they are here… teach those developers to rip us off!

    specially as we're paying in the same currancy anyway!

    portal 2, valve games are well priced and have fair pricing.

    • stylecrime on 24/11/2011 - 13:28
      +3

      Absolutely, I will not buy a game if I am paying more simply because of where I live.

      Use this great site to check prices in other regions:

    Darn you Steam. By the way, Sam and Max complete is a great price - I'd been tempted to buy it direct from Telltale Games for $40.

    WHYYYYY

    • lucksmith on 24/11/2011 - 23:07

      happens a lot whenever they have sales. their servers can't keep up with the millions that the public is throwing at them. just wait a while then try again, or better yet, lock your wallet somewhere safe until the sales are over.

  • samfisher5986 on 24/11/2011 - 12:03

    Am I the only one who NEVER has anything to buy in these sales anymore?

    Steam has turned me into a gamer who preorders games on Steam if I want them making it impossible to buy anything I want on sale because I own them!

    • Grimezy on 24/11/2011 - 12:10

      With just under 260 games in my account, I'm finding it hard to purchase much from these sales anymore.

      Granted that's a good thing in my book.

    • ItsMeAgro on 24/11/2011 - 12:18
      +15

      Steam sales have turned me into a gamer who never spends more than $5-10 for a game (and still plays all the best games, just waits 6-12 months, saves 90% of the money, and then plays them on a newer, faster PC purchased in the meantime).

      • samfisher5986 on 24/11/2011 - 12:22

        Seriously?

        How can you wait 6-12 months for a sequel to all your favorite games?

        Battlefield 3? GTA V? Assassins Creed Revelations?

        I must be exactly what Game Publishers want, and your the exact opposite :P

        • stylecrime on 24/11/2011 - 12:46
          +9

          I'm the same as mgowen. It's easy to wait for the price to drop when you've got 200+ games in your Steam account to plough through. :)

        • ItsMeAgro on 24/11/2011 - 16:46
          +3

          It doesn't always work for online multiplayer games (if you buy it so late nobody is playing it) but look at it this way:

          If publishers offered an advance copy of their game, 6-12 months before release, with several levels missing (DLC), with a few bugs (patches), sometimes even extra DRM, for 5 to 10 times the release price, would you still buy it?

          If so, you should buy at release. If not, wait for the $5 - 10 steam sale deal.

        • wisc on 24/11/2011 - 16:52
          +2

          there is always an infux of people who jump online when the game goes on sale… more noob fodder…

    I've never used steam before, I understand you don't get the game on disc, are the games fully functional as per what u will get from EA?

    • ItsMeAgro on 24/11/2011 - 12:15

      yeah, great thing is that you get a profile of all your games, and you can download them at any time once they are linked to your account.

      IE your game list is like MSN messanger friends, once your logged in, all will be visable, you will need to download on each computer, but its a great to keep track of them all…

      sales like this happen often, a true bargainer "samfisher5986" looking at you! never pays RRP! just wait for a 50/66/75% off sale, will happen sooner or later… big deal im 6-12 months behind the latest games. always something new comming on special.

  • tsunamisurfer on 24/11/2011 - 12:20

    X-com (UFO-Defence) games for $3…what a classic. DEAL.

    • wisc on 24/11/2011 - 13:03

      funny thing was i was waiting a year or so to buy XCOM as it was NEVER on special, finally bit the bullet and bought it at full price, was absolut months before they had a special on it… would have regreted it too, however they are so cheap to begin with its no too bad.
      got right up to the last mission with all my guys then lost interest… LOL… will have to get back onto it and finish it once and for all… great game though…. they dont build games that indepth anymore… instead rely on graphics and effects…

        Get back in there and make those Mutons pay for violating my Cattle.

        Agreed on the depth of this game, I had this game fit on three floppy disks, and some games these days on DVD are less fun than this one.

        Was even happy with Terror From the Deep even though it was basically a skin for UFO Defence because the game was still good.

  • Adamiam on 24/11/2011 - 12:23

    Portal 2 is a great deal, just such a fun experience for $10.
    Terraria is great if you love Minecraft, $5
    I was thinking of picking up PayDay: The Heist for $13
    Amnesia is also on sale for $10

    • Ace on 24/11/2011 - 15:43

      I heard that PayDay only has like 3-4 maps and eventually they are going to roll out DLC for the game with more maps, characters and guns. Not 100% sure, but that kinda made me iffy about buying the game.

        It was just unpopular because it requires team work and doesn't keep a kill score.

        • Ssilver7 on 25/11/2011 - 11:51

          Completely different style of team work. All about completing objectives which may mean having to change class or die several times to complete. Also, L4D does record a kill score.

  • zzyss on 25/11/2011 - 09:56

    Do you need to sign up for a new, separate US account to get US prices if you already have an "Australian" account?

    • stylecrime on 25/11/2011 - 11:54

      Unless you have a US IP address (ie, you are in the US, or can somehow fool Steam into thinking you are), you can't get US prices. And then you'd also need a US billing address.

      • zzyss on 25/11/2011 - 12:26

        Thanks. Just seems like a lot of people here are doing it given that the prices being thrown around are the cheaper US ones.

    • lucksmith on 25/11/2011 - 15:33

      If you have any friends in America, just ask them to purchase the game for you and send it to your account.

      • CVonC on 25/11/2011 - 16:06
