Steam’s got some sort of mad Christmas Turkeytime sale on at the moment, tearing big chunks of money-flesh out of a different clutch of titles each day until Monday. Keep an eye on the deals here, as we’re not going to post about it every blimmin’ day. What did your last slave die of? This one’s worth its own mention though – 50% off the complete pack of every THQ game on Steam, whose total discount now rips £183.33 off the price of buying each game individually. That’s the complete Red Faction, Company of Heroes, Full Spectrum Warrior, Titan Quest and Dawn of War lineages to date, Saints Row II, Stalker, and er, Juiced 2 and Frontlines Fuel of War. £26.50 to Brits, $50 to Americans and €50 to the rest of Europe. WE WIN! FOR ONCE, WE WIN! Essentially, 18 games for the price of buying Red Faction Guerilla or Dawn of War II on its own. Good’un, this.

    Isnt the best way round all this is to setup a paypal, gift a steam friend kinda thing ?

  2. TCM says:

    I’d be tempted if I didn’t already own most of these from other sales. :P

  3. scottossington says:

    Gah I thought, hey Champions Online for $20 so I bought it and have now been downloading a patch for a long long time…….still only at 50% =( This of course because of the sale, playing for free on Thanksgiving and ….I just want to fly is that so much to ask.

  4. Fumarole says:

    Stop being so dramatic, a good deal is still a good deal, even if someone else gets a better deal.

  5. Anonymouse says:

    I just wanted to add here, on topic of deals, that Hearts Of Iron 3 is £6.50 at Direct2Drive at the moment.

  6. Dave says:

    Fantastic deal there, though I already own all the ones in that pack that I want and one that I don’t.

    Just for RFG and Titan Quest it’s well worth the price though.

    • Carra says:

      I’ve seen RFG for €15 and Titans Quest for €10.

      But if there are more games in there that you’d like to play, go ahead.

  7. Bravedave says:

    Done and done. Even though I already had all the Dawn of War titles and CoH its still an amazing deal. I do have 61 uninstalled games on steam at the moment though….

  8. Carra says:

    Lovely deal…

    Except that I already own Stalker, Company of heroes, Red Faction 2 andTitan Quest & Expansion.

    These bundle deals should really offer something if you already have multiple games. Gog.com has the idea right if they offer a bundle: 50% off on second game if you already own the first one.

  9. Langman says:

    It’s a slightly deceptive deal tbh. Most gamers worth their salt will already own the select best few of those games – and would only really be buying the remaining mediocre ones. I suppose one benefit is getting an extra digital copy of the best ones for ease-of-use (if you’re aiming to move away from physical copies), along with some bonus games you may/may not play one day.

    Still, I guess it shouldn’t be sniffed at. A good deal is still a good deal.

  10. Wulf says:

    Wow, we really did come out on top with this. And one of my American acquaintances became incredibly agitated to the point of being totally pissed off when he heard about it.

    Apparently, British people don’t deserve good deals because we don’t have Thanksgiving/Black Friday, and we certainly don’t deserve better sale prices than America, apparently, due to the holiday or whatever.

    I was almost tempted to buy this pack on principle because of that.

  11. Blackberries says:

    New deals up. Dead Space for £7.50. Majesty 2 and Knights of the Old Republic both get 75% lopped off their prices (down to £6.24 and £1.74 respectively). Cities XL is half off.

    This is going to be an expensive few days; I’m rather tempted by Dead Space and Majesty 2.

    (Also featured: L4D2, Mini Ninjas and Madballs in Babo: Invasion).

    is dead space worth 10€?
