If you aren’t aware of the Autumn Sale that is\/was running on Steam<\/a>, then you would probably struggle to make sense of last week\u2019s top ten selling Steam games.<\/p>\n

Sure Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3 are obvious contenders, both being massively hyped AAA titles, but the likes of Portal 2, Dead Island, LA Noire, Fallout: New Vegas and Orcs Must Die! reentering the charts can be solely put down to the fact that they were all selling for super cheap.<\/p>\n

Top 10 selling games on Steam: November 20th – 26th<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim<\/li>\n
  2. Portal 2<\/li>\n
  3. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3<\/li>\n
  4. Dead Island<\/li>\n
  5. Batman: Arkham City<\/li>\n
  6. L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition<\/li>\n
  7. Deus Ex: Human Revolution<\/li>\n
  8. Orcs Must Die!<\/li>\n
  9. Fallout: New Vegas<\/li>\n
  10. Anno 2070<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In the meantime, Skyrim is holding out nicely against Call of Duty<\/a>: Modern Warfare 3 and Batman: Arkham City in terms of Steam\u2019s top selling new releases.<\/p>\n

    Anno 2070 also enters the charts, albeit at a fairly modest tenth place despite its mostly excellent reviews.<\/p>\n

    The obvious omission from the sales data is Battlefield 3, which didn’t launch on Valve<\/a>\u2019s digital distribution platform despite it being the biggest reseller of PC<\/a> games in the world.<\/p>\n

    At the time of publication, the sale is still on today, and if you\u2019re quick you can grab the likes of Dead Space 2, Fable III, Modern Warfare 2, Red Faction: Armageddon, Driver: San Francisco, Demolition Inc. and loads more for well below their usual retail prices.<\/p>\n
