Christmas may be over, but that odd undying period between Christmas Day and New Year has just begun. Prepare for many more days of cheese, chocolate, movies, and video games.

Luckily for you, my handsome Christmas puddings, Steam users can currently download and keep a whole bunch free games to play over the next few days. Shall I talk you through them? Yes. I think I shall.

Before that why not look to the future with one of Steam's next big RPGs?
