The Steam Fall Exploration Sale has begun, here are the highlights

Last week, the dates of the annual Steam Fall and Holiday sale began making their rounds online. As reported, the Steam Fall Sale has begun! Over 8,000 games have been discounted – including some heavy-hitters like GTA V and Black Ops 3.

The Exploration Sale is unlike previous sales, there are no Daily Deals or Flash Sales – it's just a straight up sale.

The sale will be available until December 1st at 10AM PST, so you have some time to mull over what gaming choices you'd like to make.

Because I'm somewhat lazy and can't see myself typing out the 8,763 games that are on sale you can check out some of the highlights below and then head to Steam to explore the rest.
