Steam Indie Variety Pack and Indie Action Pack

Steam has got two weekend deals running this week featuring independent games. Each of the two packs includes five games and total savings is round 80% at $10 for each pack this weekend.

Perhaps this is in answer to the EA problems (where Crysis 2 got pulled because of Steam business rules that forbid certain interactions and deals with other digital distribution systems). Maybe this is a way of Steam telling them they don’t need their stinkin’ games... or perhaps it’s an honest-to-goodness celebration of Indie games.

Either way, it’s a great deal for gamers.

Steam Indie Action Pack - $9.99 (for the weekend)

• AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity (Dejobaan) - GDN Review
• Gridrunner Revolution (Llamasoft)
• Metal Drift (black jacket studios)
• Starscape (Moonpod)
• Zombie Driver (EXOR Studios)

Admittedly, some of the games are a few years old but $10 for 5 games is awesome.
