This should keep me occupied for awhile lol

Picked up SimCity4. Everything else that was good, I have already.

Definitely pick up Doom and Crysis if you guys don't have em'.

This steam sale is killing me. And what's worse is I'll probably never play most of these, but I can't help it.

The expansion adds a cool twist to Doom 3. Its not as good, but still decent. I seem to find myself playing through both once a year or so.

I think it's a great engine for how old it is, but be advised you'll need to tweak the Doomconfig file to make it look the best on today's widescreen gaming rigs. Here's some more info.

Another good thing about buying PC games is that you will always have a platform to play it on. I like having a variety of games to play...i dont have an addiction to buying games i swear. lol

P.S. Check out Doomsday mod for doom. Enables graphic and other upgrades. Pretty sweet

Prolly skipping purchases for today. I've got all the ones that look good and the rest is kind of "meh". That is unless you can convince me why I should get Sniper or Kane & Lynch. I've got the rest.

You guys gotta jump on the Quake pack though.

Nah stay away from those games. Sale today is nothin special cept Quake collection as you said..which I already have. Hopefully tommorow theres something better

I picked up The Witcher... Amazing for $5. I also grabbed Batman and Operation Flashpoint. 360 controller on PC is wonderful!

Hearts of Iron III looks pretty tempting. hmm...

I've heard good things about Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and apparently I own a Penumbra game (who knew?) so for $4.80, I'm definitely going to try that one out.

I picked up the following:

Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Crysis pack
Humble Bundle 2
Plants vs. Zombies
Serious Sam pack
Star Wars: KOTOR
Vegas: Make It Big
Sid Meier's Pirates
Railroad Tycoon 2: Platinum
Overlord pack
Metro 2033
The Misadventures of P.J. Winterbottom
Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Deadspace is a good deal. I wish I wouldn't have purchased it via EA's store now but it was five bucks at the time. Ah well, I'd prefer Steam. I wonder can I associate the game with my steam account and use that to redownload it if anything ever happens.

I'm very tempted on Oblivion, though I have it for PS3 and couldn't get into it. Controls sucked (kb/m would probably work better). Hmm...

I whole heartedly recommend Oblivion. Some of the mods are fantastic and really breathe new life into the game. They can easily add quite a few hours to your playtime.

Oblivion on PC + mods will consume your whole life. Use with extreme caution.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but I highly recommend the Indie Beat Pack.

For $5 you get:

Beat Hazard (like Geometry Wars but with any music you want)
Bit.Trip Beat (and the best of the Bit.Trip series so far, in my book)
Chime

and then Rhythm Zone, which I haven't played yet, but seems to be a Guitar Hero clone with any music you want, and Turba, which didn't really interest me as much.

Still, the first three games are excellent and since they cost $5 each anyway, you're getting all of them for the price of one.

Bit.Trip Beat is actually better on the PC than the Wii original in my book, since controlling the paddle with the mouse feels better than twisting the Wii remote.

It's good, but short and straightforward. Episode 1 will come out for free in February anyway, I'd wait until then, and by then Episode 2 should be out as well, so you can see if it improves.

Nice sale today. Picked up Far Cry 2 and Stalker Bundle

I picked up flight control HD for $1.79. It's a great game and very addictive. I have it on my Galaxy S phone and play it all the time.

Well said, James, regarding Farcry2. It's an acquired taste and most either love it or hate it. I happen to be in the 'love it' camp so I will throw out my recommendations for those that don't have it. Definitely worth $5 for open ended fps fans.

Same goes for the Stalker bundle. Grab those if you don't have em!

I buckled and order two RTS games. C&C4 and Supreme Commander 2 plus it's dlc. All that for $11.22. Heheh. Gotta love Steam.

I'm thinking about the DLC for SC2. Not sure it's worth it. I could care less about the maps, and it looks like only one or two units are actually worthwhile.
