While PC gamers everywhere are waiting with baited breath for the Steam summer sale to begin, it seems that a big summer sale for console gamers will begin soon too.
Xbox Live Director of Programming Larry “Major Nelson” Hyrb today announced that an Xbox Live “Ultimate Game Sale” will begin next week. Multiple titles will be on sale each day of the week. Hyrb provided a full list of the games that will be on sale, and there are some good ones, including game-of-the-year material from both 2012 and 2013:

Though Microsoft’s Xbox Live sales don’t normally see the kind of deep discounts PC gamers get with a Steam summer sale, Xbox 360-only gamers should jump at the chance to grab some of these games for a lower price. Though Microsoft did hold a surprise sale earlier this year for the 10th anniversary of Xbox Live, it’s rare that large numbers of games on Xbox Live are discounted.
