Valve have launched the latest mini festival, this time it's a Creature Collector Fest bringing in lots of games that get you to collect little monsters in some form. Showing just how diverse this genre has become, there's a lot more to it than Pokémon-likes.

As usual it showcases games currently available with discounts, demos and upcoming games.
