Multi-game licences available for Yuletide to solve those thorny gift problems...

It may have been only just over a month ago that I first encountered the entrepreneurial bunch over at Steam, but such is their commitment to saving you money, I have become strangely attached to them.

With Christmas looming just around the corner, the pressure and stress that generally accompanies the purchasing of presents for loved ones is beginning to set in, like a Yuletide virus slowly seeping into the bloodstream. This pressure is especially true if these loved ones happen to be gaming connoisseurs, the type of individual who would greet the purchase of FIFA ’10 with a look of pure disgust if already a Pro-Evo fanboy, and vice-versa.

However, fear not my bewildered brethren, as Steam has come up with the perfect vaccine to cure these merry woes. For the next five days, the site will be offering a number of ridiculous savings against some of the best games of our generation, a deal further sweetened by the fact that you will be buying in bulk. While you may not need 10 downloadable copies of Half Life 2, we're sure that you can find nine friends or acquaintances that would be more than happy to receive one of these as a gift for Christmas and, at just £13.99 for all 10 copies, it really is a win-win scenario.

So, what are you waiting for? Log on, have a browse and prepare to shower your friends with some of the most affordable gifts to date.
