Someone should charge Gabe Newell and Valve with conspiracy -- conspiracy to relieve PC gamers of their hard-earned cash, since the third day of Steam’s “Five-Day-Long, One-Day-Only” sale offers some more kick-ass, can’t-miss deals. Of course, you can still get the LucasArts Premier Pack and the THQ Complete Pack for $49.99 each; those prices will be in effect through Monday.
But if you missed Wednesday’s and Thursday’s deals, don’t fret -- today’s sale has games set at prices so low, you won’t be able to resist whipping out your credit card. Here are the highlights:
- Trine for $9.99 (50% off)
- Borderlands for $33.49 (33% off)
- Ghostbusters: The Video Game for $9.99 (50% off)
- Resident Evil 5 for $24.99 (50% off)
- Left 4 Dead: Game of the Year Edition for $7.49 (75% off)
- Spore for $19.99 (50% off)
Boy, Randy Pitchford wasn’t kidding when he called Steam a “money grab.” I succumbed to a few of Wednesday’s sales, so I’m going to do my best to hold off on any more Steam purchases, lest I go into debt. I’ve got to save my money for Q1 2010, which may even be more jam-packed with must-have games than this fall was.
By the way, these sales expire at 10 AM EST tomorrow -- in other words, they’ll only be valid for another 17 and a half hours. Go, go, go!

I'm still thinking about picking the THQ pack though.
But, I'm thinking of getting the bundle of "Time Gentlemen!" and "Ben there, Dan That". I remember Rev doing an Indie Nation on it, and it sounds promising.
Two more sale days left... still hoping for Operation Flashpoint, Serious Sam, the Lego games or Command and Conquer 3 games.
Get them, at the price they're at right now it's a steal.
Nothing for me today, I wasn't really interested in the games I don't already have. Got plenty to keep me going for a while.
You Will not regret that decision.
And Ghostbusters is bloody tempting, but they also have COD4 half price.
WHICH SHOULD I CHOOOOOOOSE!?!?!
