Developer direct digital distribution hub Show Me The Games is throwing a whopping sale for the next few days, with discounts of 35% to 75% on 32 indie titles. There are some well known names on the list – And Yet It Moves, Gratuitous Space Battles, Defcon and Voxeltron, for example – as well as a bunch of lesser-known efforts you might not have heard of. A wide variety of genres are represented, and many titles are available on Linux and Mac as well as PC.

Thanks, Joystiq.

There’s a pretty special sale on Steam at the moment, offering 25-75% off every Bit.Trip game available on PC. The retro-styled Gaijin Games series has won awards all over the place and is also available on Wii and 3DS. The newest entry, Runner 2, mixes things up with a new graphical style.

Indie developer Arcen Games has put its highly varied catalogue on sale on Steam. Save 75% this week on Shattered Haven; A Valley Without Wind 1 & 2 Pack; Tidalis; AI War; all four AI War expansions; the AI War Alien Bundle; and all bundles. There’s probably something for everyone but shooter fans in there; get in before April 22 to capitalise. In addition, AI War is part of the GamersGate’s IndieFort Spring Bundle. Arcen Games told us that the sale and bundle are important because the team has already moved on to two new projects – Skyward Collapse and Exodus of the Machine.

Mac port developer Aspyr has advised that it has released an update for the OS-X version of Borderlands 2. The patch adds leaderboards, achievements and “more importantly, multiplayer co-op with their Game Center friends”. Hopefully that last one means the much-touted cross-platform compatibility with PC is also back, having vanished thanks to a Gearbox update to the Windows version last year. Aspyr has also made DLC available as in-game purchases, and is offering 50% off the shooter RPG sequel on the Mac App Store.

Xbox Live isn’t the only place having a spring sales event. The PSNs in both North America and Europe are also having some pretty major sales of their own. Long lists below.

The Indie Spring Sale has gone live on Steam, and from today until March 29, many indie titles will be discounted. There are tons, really, and we noticed just by looking at the main page that the following titles are cheaper than the norm: Euro Truck Simulator 2, Terraria, Garry’s Mod, Deadlight, Super Meat Boy, Hotline Miami, Castle Crashers, Half Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy, The Binding of Isaac, FTL: Faster Than Light, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale, Legend of Grimrock, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, Braid, Ace of Spades, A Valley Without Wind 1 & 2, , Guns of Icarus Online, Deponia, Thomas Was Alone, Awesomenauts, LIMBO, Kentucky Route Zero, and a gazillion others. Go nuts.

If you’re a little behind on your real-time startegy gaming, there’s still time to pick up the most important release of the last few years before its immediate successor launches. Blizzard is offering StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty at 50% off up until expansion Heart of the Swarm launches on March 12. That’s probably not long enough to master one of the premiere eSports of the current generation, but it will set you up to get on board the hype train next week. Wings of Liberty was focused on the Terran or human faction, which Heart of the Swarm is more centred on the Zerg. A third instalment is expected a couple of years down the track.

Thanks, PCGamesN.

The holiday season is replete with sales and I am tired of writing about them so here’s a very brief round up.

Finally, if you check out the Wii U eShop, you’ll see an indies sale banner – Trine 2, Little Inferno and Chasing Aurora or Puddle (depending on territory) are discounted.

Steam is throwing a huge sale to celebrate Halloween. Sixty games either directly horror-themed or with Halloween content have been discounted by between 25% and 80%, with a good range of triple-A and indie, old and new. It is exceptionally difficult to continue talking about this and not fall back on terrible puns and sad cliché, so let’s stop.
