Valve Software has kicked off its annual sale and while it doesn't call it a "Black Friday" or "Cyber Monday" sale like others do, it is intended to land on those days for maximum effect. This year's "Steam Exploration Sale" runs from November 26 to December 2 and features discounts and deals on 5,649 games right now.

Some of these games are getting moderate price cuts, while others are dramatically reduced for maximum sales. The top sellers right now, according to Valve, are Counter-Strike Global Offensive, The Wolf Among Us, Goat Simulator, The Long Dark, This War of Mine, the Valve Complete Pack, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Battleblock Theater, Counter-Strike Complete, Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth, Lords of the Fallen, and many, many more.
