GameTreeMac/Aspyr Holiday bundles, Steam Gift Pile/Epic Giveaway

December 20, 2011 · Posted in Games, Holidaysales

We’re getting close to that all important date: gift giving after maxing out our credit cards. How spiritual! Anyway, here are the latest listing of holiday sales. Remember, if you want to keep track of some great Mac and iOS game sales throughout the holiday, just look for the #holidaysale tag!

GameTreeMac has announced a bundle of Disney Interactive Studios games for the Mac at 50% off. The bundle includes Toy Story 3, Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey, and Cars 2. The page allows you to choose whether to buy for yourself or gift it to a friend. The complete bundle is only $39.98. Additionally, you can also purchase the games individually for a 30% discount.

Aspyr has also introduced a holiday bundle, available for a mere $20. Included in the bundle are Sid Meier’s Civilization IV, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, and NeverWinter Nights 2. You can download the bundle through Aspyr’s GameAgent digital download service, and is available through December 25th.

Steam has announced their holiday sale, now through January 1. Deals include games that are up to 75% off, such as Red Orchestra 2, LEGO Batman, and Duke Nukem Forever. But the sale also includes two major promotions: The Great Gift Pile and the Epic Holiday Giveaway.

The Great Gift Pile challenges gamers to complete up to six objectives each day. Completion of each objective grants the chance to win a free game or discount coupons for select games available on Steam. Each objective happens within a game on Steam, so of course you have to have that game. Happily, of the first six objectives we found upon logging in, five were Mac games. So it looks like Valve is endeavoring to make sure that Mac gamers will be well represented.

If you don’t win, no worries, you’ll be given a piece of coal. But hold onto that coal! Coal is the ticket to enter the Epic Holiday Giveaway. It’s called Epic because the top prize is every game on Steam. Is that Awesome or what?! The more coal you have, the better your chance of winning. You can alternatively choose to magically mix your coal into something shiny and new by “crafting” seven pieces into a gift from the Great Gift Pile. So this year receiving coal is a good thing. Didn’t get what you want? Of course Steam allows you to trade coal and prizes with your friends.

We’ll warn you that today you’ll probably have a hard time getting on…we found it a pain in the ass to login because of the heavy load, and just read that the Steam store has gone down under the load.
