If you log in to Twitter and see a bunch of Tweets saying "Just bought Indigo Prophecy," as I did this evening, there's a very good reason. It's because the thing costs $3.39 on Steam right now. With Christmas around the corner, Valve has announced a Steam sale that I would be tempted to call stupid, it's so full of neat stuff.
Indigo Prophecy is but one of the many games going for silly prices right now, and I highly recommend the purchase to anybody yet to play Quantic Dream's last big game. If you're a user of Valve's digital service, you really need to make a point of checking it out. Don't worry, Destructoid will still be here when you get back. If you get back.
The Steam Holiday Sale is on now through Sunday, January 3, 2010. This year's sale has begun earlier than years past so gamers can save big on last-minute shopping via Steam's Gifting functionality. Gamers can save up to 80% on select titles, with daily and week-long specials running during the promotion.
Steam is a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC games with over 20 million accounts worldwide and over 1,000 games. For more information, please visit www.steamgames.com

Also, there are LOTS of good indie games for sale. And GTA4 is going for like seven bucks. Holy crap.
I'm probably gonna get myself some Men of War expansion and a couple of goodies , it will require some browsing first :P
So many good deals. I would buy Fahrenheit all over again! --WHOA WAIT-- Is this Indigo Prophecy or Fahrenheit? I want my nudity(Fahrenheit) not censored garbage(Indigo Prophecy)! j/k cant wait for Heavy Rain. This game is amazing.
You mean to tell me that they're selling batman along with all the hitman games, as well as MINI NINJAS?! Holy cow!!!
I'm thinking, so far:
Indigo Prophecy
Deus Ex
Beyond Good and Evil
Aquaria
Anyone got input on Aquaria? I'm still on the fence about that...
RIGHT NOW.
(SPOILER)
The moment Agatha dies, just shut the fucking game off, because it's all downhill from there. You will never know what happened that cold winter night, but the taste of it that you did have will still be good.
I have never had a game make me hate it so much like Indigo Prophecy did with the second half of that game.
These are 2 "shut the hell up and buy it" games. Especially Machinarium.
Could I just have the first half for $1.35? That's what I enjoy.
Tried to check out... saw Torchlight was still $10... thought I'd missed the deal. Added that.
Then I closed squinted my eyes so I couldn't see very well and hit the purchase button before I got tempted to buy anything else.
THIS SALE IS SO RIDICULOUS
I've bought 9 games so far more to come GOD DAMNIT there are so many games i will never play but the PRICE IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
Five Star Wars games for $10?! :O
And everyone remotely interested in RPGs need to get Torchlight, especially after the recent update that includes Steam Cloud support.
I'll probably buy those two packs, Stalker (finally), Braid (on PC), Trine, and maybe something else. It's hard for me to resist games below 5$.
OH GOD WHAT HAS VALVE DONE? I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet, I can't spend this kinda money!
I'm feeling faint from all the deals...I need a debit card.
