The Steam Summer Sale is in full swing, which means deals out the proverbial wazoo. Here are some things to keep in mind if you want to come away with plenty of games and a not entirely empty wallet.

Steam’s autumn sale is in full swing. As I wrote previously, it’s a little different from previous sales. There aren’t daily deals or flash sales. Still, 50 percent off on new games like Shadowrun: Hong Kong? 50-75 percent off series like Fallout and Tom Clancy? It’s a Steam sale alright.

Steam is having a big Halloween sale. It’s a celebration of spooky games (and a handful of less spooky games, like Shadow of Mordor and Battleblock Theater). The sale runs until Nov 2. If you’re overwhelmed by options, check out our list of the best horror games for a place to start.

The Steam Stealth Sale just kicked off. Heaps of great stealth games are on sale until October 16th. My recommendations: Invisible Inc, Neon Struct, Volume, Gunpoint, and (if you don’t have them already) the original Thief and Alpha Protocol.

A friendly reminder: if you're hoping to get an Xbox One for $350, you only have a few more days to do so. In a post on the Xbox Wire today, Microsoft said that the $50 discount expires this coming Saturday, January 3rd. You can almost afford a brand new game with those savings!

Hey kids, want the same exact toys in black and gold? The Toys'R'Us legendary Skylanders line continues with next month's Trap Team, with a pair of special toys guaranteed to be warming shelves a month or two after launch.

When every iOS game on the list for your Best Games of 2012 Sale promotion is free, it's no longer a sale — it's a giveaway, and when one of those games is Pony Trails, that's a steal.

In celebration of the holidays and the impending release of the 3D Nintendo DS Final Fantasy IV remake on iOS. Square Enix has lined up a slew of iOS game sales, starting with slashed prices on those excellent-but-pricey mobile FF games.

With an impressive 15 billion apps and games downloaded in the past year alone, Google has every reason to celebrate reaching the 25 billion apps milestone. And so do Android gamers, as a celebratory sale delivers titles like Angry Birds Space Premium and NFL Kicker 2013 for a quarter of a dollar.

The first-person grid-based PC dungeon crawler rises again on April 11, when indie developer Almost Human releases The Legend of Grimrock on Steam and GOG.com. Act now and it's far cheaper than it should be.
