It's that time again folks. Prepare your wallets and entreat upon the altar of Lord Gaben, for Steam's latest seasonal sale is upon us.
Valve have had a bad run of PR disasters recently, but there's nothing like halving the price of your entire catalogue to bring people back into the fold.
Highlights so far include XCOM Enemy Unknown plus the brilliant Enemy Within DLC for just a fiver, 25% off the newly released GTA V, 50% off Tales from the Borderlands and up to 80% off the Metro series. The current crop of twice daily Flash Sales includes Mirror's Edge, Papers Please, Outlast and Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty.
Valve's latest attempt to 'gamify' its store after trading cards is the 'Monster Summer Game'. As well as replacing the traditional community vote as a way to earn new discounts, you can also earn cards and build towards your summer sale badge, usually only available through voting or buying games.
