If you couldn t captain a pirate ship, cannon a schooner to pieces, then leap onto its deck to sword-n-pistol away half the crew, we might have a lower opinion of Black Flag. If you want to be safe, wait until June 30 to pick up a sale-long deal.ĥ0% off: $19.99 / 19.99- Steam store page Reminder: if a game isn't a daily deal or a flash sale, it could pop up later in the sale for an even lower price. The deal of the day, though, is Dishonored, a top contender for 2012 game of the year.ĭon t forget to check out GOG s summer deals, too. Civilization 5, Rome 2: Total War, and Europa Universalis IV are all heavily discounted, and any one of these games could keep you occupied for months of economic planning, political trickery or open warfare. But today's best deals feel especially life-threatening, because there are some masterful strategy games on sale. The Steam Summer Sale is always dangerous, threatening to take money from your wallet and hundreds of hour of your life away with tantalizing games.

Or you can buy the Game of the Year version, which includes The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore WItches DLC packs, for just $10.19 / 6.79. Thankfully, Steam has the game on a 75 percent discount, so it'll only cost you $5 / 2.5 to purchase and play whenever you want. But you'll enjoy it more if you take your time. If you really put yourself to it, you can finish Dishonored over its free weekend. Our review praised the level of detail in the world, and the multiple ways you can solve challenges unlike a lot of stealth-based games, you can kill your way through if you're feeling bloodthirsty. And you should, because Arkane's magnum opus is one of our favorite games. From now until 1pm Pacific, you can download Dishonored on Steam and play to your steampunk heart's content.

Dishonored is also free to play all weekend long. We already told you that Borderlands 2, the Gearbox "looter-shooter," is free on Valve's Steam platform, but you'd rather sneak and assassinate instead, you're in luck.
