 It makes you hurt in a good way.
 It makes you hurt in a good way.
Unless you are a new comer to the brotherhood of PC gaming, in which case welcome, you have probably found yourself getting ready for the now annual Steam Holiday sale. It should be kicking off in a week or two now and to help get everyone excited I figured it might be fun to see what everyone is hoping to find on sale this year.
 
Between the last couple events, and their summer sales that they started doing, there isn't a heck of a lot left on Steam of interest to me that I don't already own. Still, there are a handful of games that I always seemed to manage to miss for some reason or another and I hope/plan to pick them up this time around. Plus there are a few games that have come out since then that I'm hoping will finally get on sale this time around.  Now that Microsoft started doing some awesome deals of their own with those .99¢ deals on Games for Windows Live they may feel the need to try one upping them, which could lead to some really amazing deals for us.
 
So what is everyone hoping to see/get out of this sale? What games have you always seemed to miss and are planning to make sure you get this time around? Or maybe there is something that has always seemed to never be on sale that you are hoping to see this time around?

Hopefully Borderlands will drop to <$5. Other then that I'm not really keeping my eye out. Just anything super cheap gets my attention.

I want BC2 and BC2 Vietnam for $30 together. I own BC2 on pc, but not steam. I am willing to buy it again if it's on sale just for the conveyance of steam.

I use the Steam sales to replace my old CD roms (Cloud>CD keys & discs).  Really the only big gaps to be filled are a good sale on F.E.A.R. and the Age of Empires games, which stubbornly refuse to come to Steam.   
 
If it's dirt cheap, I'll probably grab CnC4, just for completionist's sake.  I loved that series.  Red Alert 1 is still one of my favorite games ever.

Lesee... Well, I wan't Farming Simulator 2011 for like $10, because I want to fuck around in there but not enough to pay full price. Mostly I want to do some MP with my friends and we will crash farming equipment. 
 
I also want to get that Amnesia game, so if it went on sale that would be cool. Also I might get Blops if it goes on sale real cheap, I am kinda interested in the SP, but not at all in the MP.

I was lucky to get a lot of that stuff when it was a weekend deal. Well, I got Arkham Asylum for like #30, but that was when it was like a month old. I got the DOW2 stuff real cheap as a weekend deal, and same with Fallout (I think I got 1,2 and Tactics for 10 or 15$) when they were first released on steam.

I'd like the elder scrolls games (oblivion and morrowind) to go up for cheap, I don't own digital copies of them yet.

@Riboflavin:  Ya, for me it was that whenever they went on sale was always when I didn't have any money so I always ended up missing them.

CODBLOPS, it's a pipe dream I know. 
 
Darksiders, AC2, Amnesia I guess. Nothing else I can really think of. 
 
Ooooh Maybe Back to the Future will be out and they'll be some sorta deal.

Apparently the 20th, right after the treasure hunt thing.
 
Also, you can buy stuff even if you have a crap computer. Things like VVVVVV and Machinarium would even run on a toaster (an awesome toaster that plays video games o:)

No hopes - I'm too broke to spend lavishly. I'm looking forward to the 2011 sale.

Deathspank double pack of some kind for cheap, like 50% off. Other than that I'll just look at the daily sales, there is nothing screaming out at me right now, I have a ton of games on steam but every Xmas sale I end up picking up a ton of games anyway. But I'm always happy with what I get honestly.

Cool. I'll be picking up my new PC on the weekend of the 18th-19th. Just in time. Thanks. 
 
Now I just hope to have enough cash to spend...

Mafia 2 for $15 or cheaper.
Singularity for $5 or cheaper.
New Vegas for $20'ish.
I'd also consider Risen, Gothic 4, or Sega & Sonic Racing for a very low price.
 
After the Black Friday 'sale' for Mafia 2 I don't have much hope for these.

I'm missing the Borderlands Claptrap DLC so I'm hoping it goes at least 50% off. I might be tempted to buy Blur for $10 and SimCity 4 Deluxe for dirt cheap even though I have a physical copy. And Mass Effect 2 if it's ridiculously low.

Worms is about the last game on Steam I've yet to buy that I'm interested in.  Maybe I'll pick up a few more indie adventure games too, if they come up for sale.

I'm hoping they put Crysis back on sale again like last year.  I missed it back then and it wasn't offered this Thanksgiving.  Also, I'd love Civ V and the addons combined into a nice collection.  And finally, more Bioware games on sale.  I have Dragon Age and KOTOR from past salebut I'd like Mass Effect & ME2 (this time on the PC) and Jade Empire still.

Sam and Max season 3 for under £5, Star Wars Force Unleashed 1 & 2 under £5 each or a bundle for £7.50, GTA IV Complete Edition for £7.50, Amnesia Dark Descent for under £5. other than that I can't think of anything but I'm sure I'll end up buying other stuff.

They usually have those games on sale. I got Jade Empire for $2.50, Mass Effect 1 for $5 and ME 2 for $10-$20 during another sale not too long ago. I would be surprised if they didn't put them up again.
