Just when I started winding down from the recent onslaught of daily Steam deals, Valve caught me offguard with their latest sale, entitled Perils of Summer. You can find a veritable pant-load of games and even entire publisher collections on sale… many of them even 50-75% off of their regular prices.

Check out just a tiny selection of the deals to be had:

• Got $5? Why not get the entire Overlord Complete Pack–that’s a lot of bang for a few bucks!
• Still haven’t checked out Bioshock 2? It would be a shame not to for $15.
• Find the indie fantasy platforming gem Trine for only $4–you can’t go wrong here.
• DiRT 2, my new favorite racing game on the PC alongside Burnout: Paraside, is only $10. Yes, $10!
• The newly-updated Counter-Strike: Source is going for only $6.80, practically a steal.
• Get (almost) every Unreal game for a total of $13.60 with the Unreal Deal Pack. Yes, this even includes Unreal Tournament III Black Edition!
• Get all of the Call of Duty games up through World At War for $29.99
• Better yet, why not get every 2K game released on Steam (except Civ V) for $89–a 75% discount.
• THQ is also offering their entire collection for only $50, half off an already amazing deal.

This is barely a fraction of the games available in this sale, and many of these are only on sale today (June 24th) other than the publishers collections, which will be available for the duration of the sale.

Don’t miss out, but don’t spend all your hard-earned money today–check back tomorrow to see if Valve has anything else in store during this truly outstanding sale.

Before the night is out I must pay my respects to one of my all-time favorite games and one which to this day simply has no equal. It’s been 10 years and I still enjoy going back and playing the game almost every time anyone mentions it.

Deus Ex has been on every hard drive I have owned since the year 2000 (and that’s a lot of drives, FYI). As far as I can remember, I’ve never even seen the uninstaller.

PC Gamer recently gave it the title of Best Game Ever (though I may not be remembering the title word for word), and I whole-heartedly agree. Deus Ex: Human Revolution just might be the shining ray of hope for a proper successor we’ve been wishing for ever since the somewhat-disappointing Deus Ex: Invisible War.

I look forward to remembering it just as fondly in another 10 years. I am starting my zillionth playthrough tonight in honor of this day, and I hope many others are doing the same.

By the way, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, never purchased the game, or simply want it on Steam, don’t forget to pick it up now for 75% off. That’s less than $3 for one of, if not the best game ever. In fact, why not pick up both Deus Ex games for 75% off instead?

Either way, game on!
