Update: As expected, Steam has now begun rolling out its <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/">massive holiday sale</a>, with daily and week-long discounts of up to 80% through Sunday, January 3, 2010, including massive savings on entire company catalogs. The highlights are below. Original: With Christmas just a few days off, 'tis the season for digital retailers to start rolling out, or at least tease, their major year-end sales on PC offerings. For example, <a href="http://www.gog.com/en/page/xmas09">Good Old Games</a> is offering "up to 40% off nearly every game in its catalogue." <a href="http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gallery=11833&game_id=7379&id=133749"><img src="http://www.shacknews.com/images/sshots/Screenshot/11833/11833_49efcc9027561_thumbnail.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gallery=11122&game_id=6807&id=128895"><img src="http://www.shacknews.com/images/sshots/Screenshot/11122/11122_49395f0aca248_thumbnail.jpg" /></a> Torchlight and Trine Some mighty fine deals are underway, including half-off Runic's awesome action-RPG Torchlight--making it $9.99, the perfect chance to test the Steam version's newly added Cloud integration and server-side save game storage--and 60% off Trine, bringing Frozenbyte's wizard-centric puzzle-platformer down to just $7.99. <ul>Steam <ul>Until Thursday, December 24 <ul> <li>Mirror's Edge - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/17410/">$4.99 (75% Off)</a></li> <li>Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/12830/">$19.99 (50% Off)</a></li> <li>Grand Theft Auto IV - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/12210/">$7.49 (75% Off)</a></li> <li>Defense Grid: The Awakening - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/18500/">$2.49 (75% Off)</a></li> <li>S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/4500/">$1.99 (80% Off)</a></li> </ul> </ul> <ul>Other Notable Savings Through January 3 (Highlights) <ul> <li>AudioSurf - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/12900/">$2.50 (75% Off)</a></li> <li>Batman: Arkham Asylum - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/35010/">$33.40 (33% Off)</a></li> <li>Braid - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/26800/">$2.49 (75% Off)</a></li> <li>Champions Online - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/9880/">$10.19 (66% Off)</a></li> <li>Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/19900/">$9.99 (50% Off)</a></li> <li>Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/6910/">$6.69 (33% Off)</a></li> <li>Ghostbusters - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/9870/">$6.79 (66% Off)</a></li> <li>Indigo Prophecy - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/9740/">$3.39 (66% Off)</a></li> <li>Killing Floor - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/1250/">$9.99 (50% Off)</a></li> <li>Machinarium - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/40709/">$9.99 (50% Off)</a></li> <li>Metal Drift - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/32200/">$6.24 (50% Off)</a></li> <li>The Secret of Monkey Island SE - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/32360/">$4.99 (50% Off)</a></li> <li>S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky - <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/20510/">$4.99 (50% Off)</a></li> <li>Time Gentlemen, Please! and Ben There, Dan That!
