The Humble 'Jingle Jam' Bundle gets you $847 worth of games for $35
http://www.pcgamer.com/the-35-humble-jingle-jam-bundle-comes-with-847-worth-of-games/
Humble Bundle's holiday 'Jingle Jam' bundle, a joint charity effort with the Yogscast, is only going to get better as December goes on, and it's already got some great games on offer. The bundle runs through the entire month, but while you can pay as little as $5 to get a shout from the Yogscast on their Twitch stream (and a few Team Fortress 2 badges), you've got to pony up $35 to get to the games. Humble says the bundle includes $847 worth of games though, which doesn't sound like a bad deal. Paying $1 or more will also get you 10 percent off a month of Humble Monthly.

 

Let's give a look at Steam and some of its 421 weeklong deals:

• Niffelheim, still in Early Access, is 35% off: http://store.steampowered.com/app/351100/Niffelheim/
• Refunct is 67% off: http://store.steampowered.com/app/406150/Refunct/
