Mass Effect, Portal prices drop in today's Steam sale photo

If that fat wad of Christmas cash hasn’t been annihilated by the desire to devour every other seasonal Steam deal, perhaps this afternoon might do the trick. The official Steam Web page has been updated, revealing a fresh set of price-slashed games to pick from for the next 24 hours.

Sam & Max Complete received the biggest mark. Once $59.99, the series is now available for $14.99. Portal is a mere $4.99 along with the original Mass Effect, while Devil May Cry 4 ($22.49), DOOM Pack Complete ($13.59), and RedLynx Trails 2: Second Edition ($2.49) are priced at sub-$25 values.

Whoever hasn't played portal... get it now!. As for me, I'm looking at the Sam and Max Complete pack. After playing episode 1 I saw some promise in the series. Better than what I expected.

I was hoping for the Telltale Everything Pack to be slashed some more, but oh well.

2 more days and then I can finally buy everything I want at once.

In case some people are considering getting DMC4 on Steam: do not I repeat DO NOT buy it on Steam!! It's like $10 new and SHIPPED on Newegg and about the same on Amazon, I've heard Half-Price books has it too. Hell you could get the Limited Edition version of DMC4 for the consoles for the price Steam sells it for now.

Samit HAS Portal.

He just doesn't want to play it.

Sadly, all this pressure for him to play it is going to make him think it's better than it is. Granted it's an excellent game but he'll probably expect it to be legendary...assuming he EVER plays it. FFS.

I am a sad panda for having a shitty PC. I can't even play that Where's Waldo game they put on Games For Windows (I want it ;_;)

@ Sanious: If you bought it close enough before it went on sale you should be able to contact Steam support and at least get some store credit.

Time to play "In how many forms can I own the same game?"

Samit, there is a secret baseball game at the end of Portal. It's even better than "The Show". You are gonna love it.

Sam & Max; worth it? I've never really had much interest in them but that deal is insane.

@Mr.Pibb

Doesn't work that way. I bought Torhclight for $9.99 before it went on sale for $4.99 the next day.

Emailed them, and got a very polite refusal.

I only picked up Trials 2. Even if it's only like a flash game in gameplay, it's a lot of fun and my little brother is enjoying it a ton, too.

Aww I was waiting a long time for a price drop of Portal this season, but its not as low as I expected.

I mean, it will definitely be worth my money, but I consider of buying the retail version for $9.99 on the right store.

Must admit I reckon this is the weakest selection for the steam sales [except Mass Effect], but the past week has had some great deals - even for the add on packs of crysis and world in conflict which I already own, but why not have them all linked in with Steam too at these prices?? Let's hope the sales end tomorrow with the juiciest deals...
