Steam's Holiday Encore Weekend reprises discounts on Dishonored, XCOM and more
Steam's Holiday Encore Weekend has kicked off, and it's essentially the digitally distributed PC gaming equivalent of one of those Top 40 best-of compilation CDs: Now That's What I Call The Best of Steam's 2012 Holiday Sale, Vol. 1.Running until 1 p.m. Eastern on Monday, January 7, the sale encompasses much of Joystiq's 2012 Game of the Year list, including The Walking Dead, Dishonored and XCOM: Enemy Unknown, as well as a few of our favorite games from last year, such as Skyrim and Saints Row: The Third. There's 24 deals in all, some of which span multiple games in a franchise, like the Batman, Borderlands and Portal sales. We doubt this compilation will see a Vol. 2, however, so best "get while the gettin's good," as our southern grandmothers would have said.
Steam Holiday Sale discounts Left 4 Dead 2, GTA IV, NFS: Hot Pursuit
The Steam savings keep on coming as today's deals offer up another bevy of digital wares on the cheap. There are plenty to choose from, including Left 4 Dead 2 at a very reasonable $6.79, the GTA IV collection (which includes both The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony) for $10, and hefty discounts on Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, Singularity and Transformers: War for Cybertron. Hit the jump for the full list.
Brothers in Arms, Quake collection discounts highlight today's Steam Holiday Sale
Today's Steam deals are a doozy if you're looking to pick something up on the cheap, including Dead Space for $6.80 and the aforementioned discounts on all Brothers in Arms games and The Quake Collection -- the latter being a bundle of all three Quake games along with a bunch of DLC. Or, if you've still got some generosity left in the ol' holiday tank, you could gift somebody a copy of Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days for $5 but, honestly, that'd just be a waste of $5. Instead, we suggest you hit the jump for less friendship-questioning gaming deals.
Steam Holiday Sale is Doomed today
What happens on Steam's ninth-straight day of holiday deals? The service has to stretch a ways back for something, anything to discount. Today it's 1994's Doom II, part of the complete "Doom Pack."
Street Fighter IV, Neverwinter Nights discounts highlight today's Steam Holiday Sale
We've struggled to maintain our endurance during Steam's daily holiday deals, but with a week of discounts under our belt, we've learned a little bit of self control. See, today's deals, which include major price cuts on Street Fighter IV and Neverwinter Nights 2? We're only buying five of them.
Steam holiday sale recaps previous offers
Just one week into the Steam Holiday Sale, the site has already resorted to re-running previous "Daily Deals." But when those re-runs include the $3.75 Super Meat Boy from the sale's first day, we can't be bothered to get outraged. See all the returning deals after the break.

Today's Steam Holiday Sale includes 'Lara Croft' for $5 or less
Steam's ridiculous Holiday Sale continues, offering more painfully cheap PC games. Today's standout deal is Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light for just $5.10 -- as if that wasn't enough of a deal, if you happen to own any Tomb Raider game through Steam, it's just $3.60! More deals after the break.
Super Meat Boy for $3.75 and much more in Steam's Holiday Sale
If you've been looking for the perfect gift for your PC-gaming friends, then look no further: You'll need that money you were going to spend on them to buy stuff for yourself in this year's 14-day Steam Holiday Sale. As it does all the time, the digital retailer has discounted a bunch of games, though these deals are uncommonly good. Most notable among today's "Daily Deals" is Super Meat Boy for $3.75, a price so good you should consider it now even if you're waiting for the Mac version (thanks to Steam Play, when you buy the PC version, you'll get the Mac one when it's released); Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for just $6.79 -- just in time for the Vietnam expansion; and the Oddworld Oddboxx for $12.49. There's also a one-day "Holiday Bonus" each day of the sale, which run until January 2, contingent upon ownership of another game. Today, you get an extra 10 percent off Portal if you have Half-Life 2 in your Steam Library. Steam is also offering crazy discounts on publisher packs -- like every Valve game for $50 and every Square Enix/Eidos game on the service, including Batman: Arkham Asylum, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, Just Causes 1 and 2, and Front Mission Evolved, for $74.99. These publisher packs will be on sale through January 2.
