Steam Autumn Sale Is Here To Take Advantage Of Your Wallet

Great, just great. Here I was, trying to save some money for the upcoming holiday shopping season and Valve just comes and does an autumn sale. With discounts on new releases such as X-Com: Enemy Unknown and Darksiders 2, I'm sure to be broke by the end of the weekend.

There's even flash sales! Ultimate impulse buy resistance tests where a game will have an abnormally large discount but only for a limited time, usually not more than 12 hours. Those who are susceptible to good bargains should do themselves a favor and avoid Steam the next few days lest risk being broke by Sunday.

Here's some Day 1 highlights:

• X-Com Enemy Unknown: $33.49; usually $49.99
• Darksiders 2: $16.99!; usually $49.99
• The Walking Dead: $12.49; usually $24.99
• Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Two: $2.49!!; usually $9.99

As with any Steam sale. DO NOT BUY UNTIL IT'S A DAILY DEAL/FLASH DEAL OR ON THE FINAL DAY. Games with 10-25 percent discounts often end up being discounted further at one point or another.

If you can't take advantage of this sale don't worry. It's all but assured that Valve will run a winter sale right after Christmas, they're persistent you know.
