If you’re looking for some high-quality titles at bargain-basement prices, you’ll definitely want to make a stop at Steam’s Summer Sale where top-rated titles, like Portal 2, are going for as low as a few dollars.
In addition to selling individual titles for low prices, the Summer Sale also includes bundles that allow you to grab entire catalogs of games for obscene prices–like the Valve Pack for $49.99 that includes Half-Life, Portal, Counter-Strike, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead and all their respective sequels. For about as much as a moderately priced restaurant meal you could score enough games to keep yourself busy for the next year.
Hit up the link below to browse the promotions; the Summer Sale ends July 23.
