The timing could not be more perfect as hundreds of thousands of gamers are bouncing around games trying to find something that appeals to them..

Steam has deeply discounted over 200 games and most are 50-75% off with some as high as 90% off. They also have daily deals that change at 10am PST which typically includes some newer release type games.

If you have a lot of money, head to Steam today and load up. If you have no money, do not follow the link in this post. If you can find a dollar, go buy Puzzle Kingdoms which is 90% off and costs $1. It is the most entertaining game you will find for a dollar!

The only thing missing from Steam’s Summer Sale is financing options and a way to hock your belongings for games.

The sale ends July 4th.

So far this sale I have purchased: Puzzle Kingoms, Altitude, Age of Booty, Avencast, Introversion Pack. Looking to grab Killing Floors and Champions Online soon.
