Steam 'Perils of Summer' sale offers games at huge discounts until July 4th

Valve's popular online service Steam offers massive reductions on a wide range of games sure to keep you warm this winter.

While we'll be the first to point out that the 'Perils of Summer' sale might not work so well in countries that aren't actually warm right now, we're prepared to forgive that to give you a heads-up on some serious savings.

There are ten huge deals as shown on the Steam Store's carousel, offering:

• Star Wars Collection: All 13 Star Wars titles  - US$74.99, 55% off
• Call of Duty Pack: Five CoD games - US$29.99, 75% off
• THQ Complete Pack: 20 games new and old - US$49.99, 50% off
• Ubisoft 33% off: every title, 68 titles available
• Codemasters 66-75% off: every title, 17 titles available
• 2K Complete Pack: 18 titles - US$89.99, 75% off
• Atari 66% off: every title, 30 titles available
• Square Enix Eidos Collector's Pack: 34 titles and DLC - US$74.99, 25% off
• Steam Indie Pack #1: Five titles - US$19.99, 64% off
• Steam Indie Pack #2: Five titles - US$19.99, 60% off

Not to mention per-day specials on specific games. And in usual Valve style, the sale is rather amusing:

There's potential here for a ridiculous saving considering the current 0.86 exchange rate (as of writing), and if you've been biding your time to play that game you've always eyed off this is a cheap way to do it.

Better still is the huge volume of discounted games meaning there's something for everyone - assuming you've got enough bandwidth cap to download it all.

Head to the sale, until July 4 (USA time).
