Steam Begins Autumn Sale: Day 1 Brings Savings on Mass Effect 2, Portal 2

Steam‘s Autumn sale has started, reducing prices on hundreds of games as well as bigger reductions on the daily deals.

As usual the sale brings discounts on a huge amount of games in the Steam catalogue, and you can search through them here. However, take our advice- don’t buy anything until the last day of the sale, just in case it goes on sale in the daily deals section for a bigger reduction. Remember, too, that often the most popular games will be discounted again on the last day of the sale, so just wait and see before buying them at a higher price.

Here are the daily deals for today:

• Mass Effect 2: 75% off
• Duke Nukem Forever: 66% off
• Portal 2: 66% off
• Test Drive Unlimited 2: 75% off
• Call of Duty: Black Ops: 50% off
• The Oddbox (Oddworld collection): 75% off
• Sam and Max Complete: 75% off
• Orcs Must Die: 75% off
• Dejobaan Collection (123 Kick It, Aaaaaaaaaah and The Wonderful End of the World): 50% off
• Men of War franchise: 75% off
• Risen: 50% off
• Renegade Ops: 50% off

My recommendation for today would have to be Portal 2, clearly the best game on offer. However since you should already have that then why not try out Sam and Max (fantastic sense of humour) or use this chance to see what Duke Nukem is up to these days? I’m not going to risk it, but a braver person than me might want to…
