Steam's long-awaited summer sale has finally commenced, with over 5,000 games currently discounted. Naturally, we can't include that many titles here, so we've just added today's hottest promos (some of them will expire in mere hours, so act quick). Although Steam will likely hog your attention until July 22, other distributors have noteworthy deals, such as Amazon's $15 THQ Action Pack and Civilization IV + V for $11.99. GameFly has big savings on BioWare games, GamersGate offers L.A. Noire for $9.98 and Green Man Gaming has hundreds of discounts as part of a seasonal sale similar to Steam's.
