With the New Year coming closer, there is still some chance to make 2010 an even better gaming year than it already is. The Steam sales in particular are a great help, as great games are nearly handed out for free on a daily basis. I'll make a post soon enough about how Steam managed to bombard more games into my backlog every single day, but for now, I wish to inform you that there are 2 classics on sale for a few more hours.

The Monkey Island Special Edition combo includes both the original The Secret of Monkey Island game, and its predecessor, Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's revenge. Both games have been completely redrawn, making you feel like you're walking through a living, interactive painting most of the time. The games themselves are cleverly designed, with real brainbusting puzzles and tons of some of the funniest humor you'll ever see in a video game. Some of the puzzles in Monkey Island 2 are really farfetched, but luckily the hint system will eventually help you figure out what to do most of the time.

Both games can be bought for a mere €3.75 (less than 2 euros per game!) today only, and for less than €5 each for the remainder of the holiday. So check it out! Also, have a Merry Boxing Day and a very Happy New Year! Expect my personal GOTYs anytime now!
