Last week we learned that just under half of all US PC game sales in 2009 were attributed to digital downloads, with Steam being the obvious market leader. Steam has become a firm favourite thanks largely to its regular specials. However, it is not the only digital retailer that can often be found selling games at reduced prices.
Although digital downloads accounted for 48% of US PC game sales in 2009, those sales accounted for just 36% of dollars spent. This is largely because of the massive volumes of games that are sold at reduced prices online.
It is difficult to keep track of what is currently on special across the wide variety of online digital retailers.
With that in mind, we bring you the 25 best deals from digital distributors from across the internet, courtesy of deals4downloads.com. Be sure to check out their full listings of reduced games.
