Just in time for the holidays, hit indie developer Introversion Software delivers three highly unique and award-winning games in one low-priced collection, appropriately titled The Introversion Anthology. It's now on Steam for $29.95 with an extra $10 off for one week only.

The Introversion Anthology packs three cult classic games. Play the part of a skilled computer hacker involved in the construction of the most deadly computer virus ever designed in Uplink. Adopt the role of a war-time General hidden deep within the recesses of an underground bunker and play your hand at a game of thermonculear chess in DEFCON. Marvel at the beauty of fractal vistas in Darwinia as you strive to save its inhabitants, the Darwinians, from the threat of eminent extinction.
