The long awaited annual Steam Summer sale has begun; this is time when the pockets of PC gamers take a serious beating as they attempt to take advantage of all the superb deals. The Summer Sales are usually around July where players are likely to get enormous discounts on games that were released in the first half of the year. For those who keep up with PC gaming, the first half of 2013 has seen quite a number of blockbuster releases, so you can imagine how tantalizing this Summer Sale is going to be.

Many recent or popular games can experience huge discounts for up to 90 percent off, which are difficult to repel. It is not easy to tell which one of your most wanted games will find itself in the Summer Sale, and that is why one needs to check the Steam store on a regular basis to keep an eye on the deals of the day, for anything is possible.

At the moment, BioShock Infinite is on sale $29.99, That is a whopping 50 percent off. Furthermore, you can also get BioShock Infinite: Columbia’s Finest downloadable content for $2.49, that’s another 50 percent off the original pricing.

Grand Theft Auto 5 is scheduled for release later this year, however, if you can’t wait until that day comes to get your hands on a GTA game, you can pick up Grand Theft Auto 4 right now at 50 percent off for $9.99.
