Today, at around 7 PM, I happened to open up Steam (Valve’s PC game digital distribution service). To my surprise, they have started their Steam Holiday Sale!

In typical Steam fashion, they always have some kind of sale or special going on. On a normal week, it is usually a Midweek Madness sale, followed by a Weekend Deal, each and every week. But this time, it is the holidays, and they have have HUGE savings for PC gaming enthusiasts such as myself.

Some games are on a 1 day sale, while others are on sale from now until January 3rd.
