    This is a summary of last year's sales.

    SavyGamer Steam Christmas sale

    This year it's going to start on the 20th and end on January 1st.

    Keep in mind that the list didn't include all of the daily deals, which were even more awesome.

    edit: silly me. That list is last years games.

    Fortunately, the only games I'll be looking for this time will be in the Alien/Zombie Shooter bundle.

    My first steam christmas, man o man the credit cards gonna hurt. I saw my friends steam collection and was shocked, asked him the price, and my jaw dropped. I loved my ps3 but finding deals like these meant waiting atleast half a year and finding a used copy at a local store or community site. I think the steam interface need a tweek though, Ive been looking for skins and can't find any I like. If anyone knows of like a Cross media bar style mod or something similar please post . PLEASE I BEG YOU!!!!!

    Maybe we will see Medal of Honor drop, Ive wanting to try it out, but downloading a demo is way to time consuming, so hopefully a decent price is shown.

    Chrome is doing the same for me. Weird, but I guess something is wrong there.

    "Do not go on SavyGamer.co.uk, or click on this link.
    19/12/2010 in News

    I hope you’re reading this from somewhere safe, like an RSS reader.

    Basically the problems that my host had said that they had sorted 7 days ago are actually not sorted, and so there is some nasty malware embedded somewhere on the site. Microsoft Security Essentials is successfully detecting the malware, and preventing it from infecting my PC, so if you suspect you might have been infected, I recommend using that.

    I suspect this is going to force my hand and make me move to somewhere else. I’m currently looking into my options, but will be posting deals to twitter.com/savygamer in the meantime.

    I’m really sorry about this, I’m doing everything I can to fix it."
