In the News: Steam Summer Sale has begun!

Zach Goodier

The Steam summer sale has begun, and that means our wallets will all cry out in terror as we drop every spare dollar we have on some of the greatest sales of the year in terms of video games.  From personal experience, I can offer a couple of tips to maximize the fun while limiting the expenses:

-Try to stick to games that are on your wishlist.  If you don't have one, start one.  If you have email alerts, Steam will let you know when they are on sale.  Let them do the work for you so you don't have to stalk the store pages and then be tempted by all the other items they have on sale.

-Look for the biggest discounts.  If a good $30 game is on sale for $3, then jump all over that.  If a $10 game is on sale for $5, then it's really not that big of a deal if you miss out for now and just buy it later.

-If you don't know the game, but feel tempted, look up reviews or gameplay to make sure you would probably like it before you buy.

Well that's about all I have for you.  Another great thing about Steam Summer Sale is we'll be able to churn out some more reviews for the site, which we've already started.  So, enjoy the sale, shop wisely, and stay nerdy.
