Which games to buy

[tesher06]

Ok so I been researching on steam and have so far bought: UT pack, GTA4, and Stalker and now I have around $30 left and a week left of deals.
I have a list of games I don't have but am not sure if any good deals will come out by next week. Here are a list of games should I wait or do you have an recommendations?

halflife
torchlight
DoD Source
Dark Messiah Might and Magic
Rome and Medieval II Total War

 

[Sulkdodds]

I plan to buy the following games if not more:
Oddworld Pack
Time, Gentlemen, Please! + Ben There, Dan That
Brothers In Arms: Earned In Blood (Road to Hill 30 is good as well, but I played it already)
maybe Beyond Good and Evil too.

Make sure you grab Braid as well, if you don't already have it! It's so cheap it'd be a crime.

And of your choices so far I know that the Total War games are totally worth it, Dark Messiah is generally esteemed pretty good, Half-life should be owned by everyone on this forum, and I dont' see the point in the other too but that's just me.

EDIT: Oh! Get The Void.
EDIT2: And if you like adventure games, a quid off Broken Sword 3 ain't bad.

I'm heavily debating Trine. £7 seems to be the magic price for me, the moment a game goes below that, I will seemingly buy it automatically.

I've picked up the following so far:

L4D2
Chronicles of Riddick: blah blah blah
Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Mirror's Edge

 

[tesher06]

LMAO!!! This thread turned quickly from me asking advice to people telling what they have. Thats great

Hmm Do you think they will drop the price of Half-life, is torchlight worth it?, Braid didn't interest me, I looked that the screenies and though oh a puzzle game...,

Hmm in your opinion the best RTS for the price which people still play online?

 

[unozero]

I heard Torchlight is good.

halflife
torchlight
DoD Source

Buy these without hesitation... unless you have children to feed or something. I may go on an indie game buying rampage after dinner, I'm debating which ones I want.

 

[tesher06]

I'm not an adult and thats not the problem. I have 30 or so dollars left to spend.

 

[TwwIX]

You have neither Half Life nor Dod Source?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

 

[Letters]

I'd wait to see if any more special daily sales come up... like Mirror's Edge for 5 bucks yesterday was quite a steal.

 

[tesher06]

Yes but is Mirror's Edge really that good, I heard it's linear so you can't just go off and jump skyscrapers all over.

 

[Sparta]

it's definitely worth it, but it is linear. Still, i thought it was absolutely ace and easily one of the most uniquely visual games I've played in ages.

 

[Dog--]

Mirrors Edge is a really good game, it is linear, but it's still awesome when you pull off one long smooth combo of jumps. Fighting is cool too.

 

[the cow says moo]

I definitely recommend Mirror's Edge. The game is a good challenge, but it's a little short.

 

[Dinnesch]

The running in ME is awesome, but the fighting parts are annoying as hell, so it might get boring after a while.

 

[unozero]

wohoo I just got Stalker:CS,Torchlight WiC and KotR.



now I can send my retail copy of Stalker,Mirror's (bought yesterday) and KotR to my cousin



oh god I just bough the ID pack...that's all I can buy in good conscience...unless my uncle whom I just spent $30 on so has wireless Internet decides to buy at least 1 game.

 

[tesher06]

WIC or COH
Also how upgradeable are the units in WIC. I might get C&C instead because from what I know the units are quiet upgradeable.

 

[Sparta]

World in Conflict is amazing. It's destruction porn at it's best. Also, Alec Baldwin narrating is something all games must have.

 

[Dalamari]

The units in WiC aren't upgradeable at all, from what I remember. I thought CoH was a lot better especially with the additions from the first expansion pack.

 

[stemot]

WiC is the only RTS that has ever held my interest long enough to be finished. I loved the fact it did away with the base building/resource gameplay and let you concentrate on controlling your units and blowing shit up.
