I already own Darksiders and Saint's Row the Third, but I might still grab the bundle for Metro 2033. I've heard good things about the game, but I don't really want to spend much money on it.

...and bought. Since I'm not a complete as*hole, I paid more than the average even though I already own Saint's Row the Third. Which means I have a Steam code that I don't need. I'll give it the weekend here then post it on Steamgifts if no one claims it. First person to PM me gets it.

Guild wars 2 for $40.60 at GMG with code GMG30-DEC01-ARFC9 .

this

It's the game we can all play for free!

Haha... well, glad someone else is posting deals though!

I never had a Genesis so sold!

I'm hoping the editor's choice selection in January on Amazon has something good for a decent price. I've got a handful of these 5 dollar off promos waiting in my email.

I downloaded my copy of Crayon Physics. Played through the first Island. Quite a bit different than it used to be (remember playing it when it first came out from a post here on Zam).

It's not bad on my 32inch that I use, I like the typing wheel its so much more fluid then controller typing (though I'll still most likely use the keyboard), but nice. I like where they are going with it.

I have to admit, FC3 seems a lot more interesting since I watched that 10-minute trailer.

I have Borderlands 1 and 2 to get through, plus a not insignificant backlog of games. I'll get FC3 when it's much, much cheaper.

FTFW

I think most people in this thread are having the same problem as me, see a great deal buy a game and place it somewhere on our "I'll play this soon as I beat <Insert games here>. We're suckers for good deals. I know for a fact I have at least a few months backlog between Steam games, PS Plus Freebies, PS3 games. Honestly I prefer Steam games as the urge to trade them in is completely gone, I already beat Batman AS and AC and I still bought em cheap on Steam because I know sooner or later I'm going to want to play them again and instead of paying w/e price they are at the time from a used dealer and having to buy the DLC etc I can just download it via Steam and boom done. Unfortunately my current game is taking up much of my time (WoW) so my whole list is on hold, I'm trying to get a few hours a week to play other things though but yeah.

I have a large backlog but it looks worse on paper than it is because it's populated with tons of indie bundle titles where I bought for Game #2 & 5 and got games #1, 3,& 4 with it. My backlog on AAA titles is a lot shorter.

I'm on a moratorium for new games though until I knock at least a couple recent AAA titles off the list. Dishonored, Darksiders II, Sleeping Dogs, maybe Max Payne 3. But I just started Far Cry 3 last night so... you know...

In my defense, FC3 came with my video card so I didn't pay for it

True facts. I'm still playing a bit of Terraria, have yet to try more of ME3 after beating it once (and still need the DLC), and just last night I fired up The Witcher 2. Speaking of which (heh, witch/which... puns), I SUCK at it. I got to the last part of the tutorial and died. Who dies in a tutorial? This guy. And worst of all: I was SOBER! I can't even blame my suckage on alcohol.

Faster Than Light direct from the source for $5.99. Can get a Steam code as well.

That's to be expected, everyone dies there until they get the hang of the game. It throws you to the wolves at first but it gets easier once the controls become instinctual. Keep going it's worth it.



Ditto. Read the note... It says run! DS and TW2 remind me a lot of each other in action combat styles and challenge. Both are awesome with some patience and learning.

I didn't find out about it until this morning when my roommate showed me a preview vid. Since I'm usually last to know, I figured you all might have an idea.

I was entering games into my master list and noticed I was on line 198

Playing an mmo has kept me from doing that too much. I do have games from ps1 era that I want to play and I am going to go though my list and try to avoid buying too many new games until I can get through the majority of games that are collecting dust.

Some good, some bad. Those are all the games that I want to get through before I start going on a buying bender and stockpiling another pile of games. Oh I also got Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl I got to download and play.

FFVI(aka, FF3 on SNES) is my favorite Final Fantasy game. Not sure how it's held up on the PS1. I'd go with an emulator; I remember playing it at a friend's house a few years back and thinking the load screens took forever. Chrono Cross has an awesome story and your first run through is a little difficult; I remember some of the bosses giving me issues, since you can't outlevel them. Breath of Fire 3 was AWESOME; I loved the fishing and faerie village mini-games. Also the dragon mechanic was neat. Legend of Dragoon I've had a ton of people recommend, but... it's slow and dull for me. When an important character died I gathered that it was supposed to be a heart-wrenching moment, but the speeches just left me rolling my eyes. I've been slugging through it, but haven't even finished the first disc.


I liked the Star Ocean anime franchise back in the day, which is why I picked up SSSC and TTEOT. Never completed TTEOT... got to a certain point where I think I had the best weapons in the game, but it just got dull and the story was disjointed for me. I need to try it again; once you can craft the ultimate items I can't imagine the rest of the game is difficult. FFX-2 is... eh... good for FFX fans? I played it, the combat mechanics were interesting... but honestly I liked FFX better (and FFX isn't even one of my top 3 FF games). FF12 had so much story potential, as it's set in FFT's universe, but it fell so short. The best thing I can say is that combat is much quicker than other FF games, but you'll come to hate the necessity of drawing/sheathing your weapon between combat.



Cannot recommend these two enough. ME2 is my favorite ME franchise game, and DA:O is simply the best RPG I've played in years (despite it's many quirks and faults). Not sure how they differ on 360 compared to PC, but they're darn good games.

Titan Quest added to the Humble THQ Bundle as a "beat the average" incentive. If you already bought the bundle for any price, you have a Titan Quest Steam key waiting for you.

Bioware must be gearing up to get us interested in DA3 because they're giving away all the promo items from DA:O and DA2.
