Siobhan Keogh | Tuesday, July 17 2012We're nearly halfway through the Steam Summer Sale, but there are still some great deals to be had. We look at the best of today's lot.
Make sure to check out the full list of games on sale today on Steam's homepage.
Daily Deals
Assassin's Creed: Revelations - Sure, Revelations is a bit same old, same old. Truthfully, not much has changed in Revelations compared to its predecessor, Brotherhood, but if you enjoy the Assassin's Creed games then you're going to want to pick this one up before Assassin's Creed III comes out later this year. It's going to cost you US$20.39 (NZ$25.60).
Dear Esther - Dear Esther isn't a game in the traditional sense, but it is a beautifully told story set in an equally beautiful world. Before you purchase, read our full review here to make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. It's not for everyone, but even if you don't like it much, it only costs US$2.49 (NZ$3.10).
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - We haven't played KotOR, so can't recommend it ourselves, but it is an extremely highly rated Star Wars RPG from the company who brought you Mass Effect and Baldur's Gate. It's also going for US$2.49 (NZ$3.10) today.
Flash deals
Amnesia: The Dark Descent - If you're in the mood for soiling your britches, then you might want to consider picking up Amnesia: The Dark Descent, which is 75% off until 7pm today (17 July). Even the trailer creeps us out. Grab it for US$4.99 (NZ$6.30).
Yesterday's deals
Some of yesterday's deals are still available for purchase until 5pm today - make sure you check out our post from Day 4 of the same to see which ones you should grab. Hint: Borderlands.
