Steam Holday Sale Day 14: Chaos, Conquest, And Kombat
Today we learn that alliteration is about the sound the letter makes and not the letter itself. Also, there are some great deals, especially if you've had your eye on budgeting software. Yes, we're serious.
Today's daily sale offers up eight games and a highly regarded piece of personal finance software.
- Castle Story - $13.39 (Regularly $19.99)
- Civilization V - $7.49 (Regularly $29.99)
- HammerWatch - $3.39 (Regularly $9.99)
- Just Cause 2 - $2.99 (Regularly $9.99)
- Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition - $10.19 (Regularly $29.99)
- Test Drive Unlimited 2 - $4.99 (Regularly $19.99)
- Valdis Story: Abyssal City - $3.74 (Regularly $14.99)
- The Walking Dead Season 2 - $18.74 (Regularly $24.99)
- You Need A Budget - $14.99 (Regularly $59.99)
During most sales, related items like DLC and collections are equally discounted. This is the case with Civilization V, for instance. Note that as of publication, the Just Cause Collection is considerably more expensive than purchasing items a la carte.
Adding Just Cause, Just Cause 2, and the sequel's seven pieces of paid DLC to your cart yields a price of $6.11. The collection is still listed at $14.99. Don't forget that yesterday's deals are active through 12:59 PM Eastern tomorrow.

Our Take
I had my fingers crossed that Just Cause and its related content would drop even lower. $2.49 for Just Cause 2 is one of the most impressive deals of the entire sale.
Alternatively (or in addition), The Walking Dead Season 2 is discounted. All five episodes (of which the first has been released) for under $20 is the best price you're likely to see for a while.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
