Hide your wallets
You can jump onto Steam's site for the sales (if it works), but we're going to be updating this article with each day's sales as well, keeping you up to date on which games cost what, when. Ready to see the beating your wallet is going to take? Let's do this...
The Walking Dead Season 1
Normal price: $24.99
Sale price: $6.24
Our take: We gave out our best score in our Walking Dead review, and even named it our Game of the Year. With the recently released 400 Days DLC, you've got every reason to pick this title up before season two rolls around.
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Normal price: $24.99
Sale price: $6.24
Our take: Chivalry has a 79/100 on Metacritic, criticized for a few glitches and polish issues but highly praised for its first-person combat. A thriving online community and mods galore ensure that you'll have plenty to do.
FTL (Faster Than Light)
Normal price: $9.99
Sale price: $2.49
Our take: We gave this game a 4.5 out of 5 in our FTL review, loving its simple, yet brutal, take on space exploration. Just be ready for a bit of frustration before you dive into this roguelike game.
Anno 2070
Normal price: $29.99
Sale price: $14.99
Our take: Anno's got an 83 on Metacritic, with reviewers enjoying the futuristic theme and the core city-management while calling it a must-have for fans of the series.
Darksiders II
Normal price: $49.99
Sale price: $9.99
Our take: Our Darksiders II review gave the game a 4.5 out of 5, saying that it "improves upon its predecessor in almost every way." Better combat, better dungeons and, now, a better price.
Fez
Normal price: $9.99
Sale price: $4.99
Our take: This game received a 4.5 out of 5 in our Fez review. We dug its retro style, mindbending puzzles, and solid platforming.
Black Ops 2
Normal price: $59.99
Sale price: $29.99
Our take: We felt this game stayed true to Call of Duty's consistent quality in our Black Ops 2 review, even going so far as to call it "the best Call of Duty in years." With the next game just a few months away, now's the perfect time to get into the online action.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2
Normal price: $29.99
Sale price: $4.99
Our take: The game's got a middling 52 on Metacritic, but reviewers felt that the single player campaign justified the budget pricing. That goes double with the new sale price.
Just Cause 2
Normal price: $14.99
Sale price: $2.99
Our take: What can you do in Just Cause 2? Damn near anything, and that's the best part. We gave it a 4 out of 5 in our Just Cause 2 review, and loved the new grappling hook's addition to the chaos of this open world game.
Surgeon Simulator 2013
Normal price: $9.99
Sale price: $3.39
Our take: Metacritic shows this over the top simulator as a 72 out of 100. Reviewers loved its goofy vibes, calling its lack of instructions a blessing and a curse.
