July 11 through July 22
All is right with the world. After much speculation, the summer Steam sale has officially begun. You know what that means, right? It’s on! Today’s daily deals include a few highlights, like BioShock Infinite ($29.99), Hotline Miami ($2.49), Scribblenauts Unlimited ($4.99), and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger ($10.04).
In particular, be on the lookout for flash sales, which only last for eight hours before being rotated out. The current lineup is Counter Strike: Global Offensive ($5.09), The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition ($35.99), Grid 2 ($29.99), and Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition ($8.99).
As expected, the new Steam Trading Cards have been worked into the promotion. For every $10 spent during the sale, you’ll receive a Summer Getaway card which can be put toward crafting badges and the like. I was skeptical at first, but in the last week, I’ve gotten strangely into this stuff.
