If you can’t get enough of The Sims, but are too broke to really afford any of the newer titles, then we have quite the news for you. Steam has The Sims 3: Ultimate Bundle on sale for $89.97. That’s 50% off the normal $179.94 that you would usually pay for this pack of games. The bundle includes the original title, as well as five expansions: Fast Lane Stuff, High-End Loft Stuff, Late Night, World Adventures and Ambitions.

Sadly, unlike most discounted bundles where you can get just one of the games for the same deal, that’s not the case for this bundle.

The sale is running for a week straight through February 3rd.

For all the Dead Space fans out there (and even potential new-comers to the game), you can grab a copy of the original Dead Space for only $6.80, which is 66% off the retail price. If you want to get even more savings, you can pre-order Dead Space 2 to receive 75% off of the original Dead Space. This weekend only!

The size of Steam’s Holiday 2010 sale simply cannot be overstated. Bringing discounts of up to 90% off to 1,034 games, there’s no chance you can browse over all these deals without buying yourself an early Christmas present. Ready for the clincher? A new batch of sales is going live every 24 hours from now until January 2nd.

Because we have no intention of listing over a thousand games with their respective prices here, you’ll have to head over to Steam’s online store and browse their digital Holiday catalog.

The game that’s more horrifying than the F.E.A.R. series is now on sale for half off. For this weekend only you can grab Amnesia: The Dark Descent for $9.99, that is if you’re courageous enough. We didn’t even review the game because we could never get around to beating it in the first place. It was seriously that scary (perhaps that’s a review in itself), but maybe we’re just wussies.
