You know the drill by now: twice a year, in the summer and winter, Valve’s Steam digital download service for PC and Mac plays host to an amazing (and wallet-destroying) sale.
This year’s summer sale has just gone live – you can view it over at store.steampowered.com or via the Store tab in the desktop client – and it’s looking pretty good. The deals run every day until July 10th. New this time around is a fun ‘prize booth’ where unlocking special Summer Camp achievements in selected games will give you tickets to be spent on cool swag!

Go away I’m poor

Nothing that really jumps out at me to buy. I’m faaaaar more interested by Puzzle Agent 2’s release, but will check back and hope other days’ offers are more attractive. They usually are :)

Steam is amazing, huh? Next gen consoles need to be integrated somehow.
JoshHood
Yeah. I’d love to see daily PSN deals over the summer. The PSN is just priced so highly.

Consoles need Games sales like these! seems Console gaming is getting more expensive! :(

Step in the right direction with the Steam integration into Portal 2.
Seriously impressed with the cross platform integration & cloud saves.

I hate Valve and the sales! Elder Scrolls mega pack for £6 & Saints Row 2 at the same price it is. Then back at 6pm tomorrow evening.
Brink is £12 on GAME.co.uk and uses SteamWorks for people interested in that.
Sp33dking89
Though prices will change. Thats just a set sale price for people who are impatient! Could change later date!

I may have to go make a Steam account as some of these look to good to miss.

Awesome summer sale time, Steam are upping the ante with their sales recently, I’m hoping for some epic deals on gems I might have missed.
Nothing really grabs me on day 1, but I’m tempted by Medal of Honour, if only for BF3 beta access.

If that id software bundle was available for mac i’d be all over that!
Ossy
Install Windows 7 onto your IMac/Macbook? My mate has and it plays game really smoothly

That’s a very tempting price for Hydrophobia, I had been planning on waiting for the PS3 release but…
zb100
…and I still am. PC only, curses!

Not that I have the correct OS to run it, but is the computerised version of Blood Bowl any good?
Being a fan of the original board game, Speedball & DBZ, it makes sense to do a computerised version but whilst the graphics look slick enough, it does look a little too cluttered. Anybody tried it at all? What’s the gameplay like?
