Second

Okay, my wallet gonna rest today then.

In before some tempting flash deals.

I have spent:

Alan Wake American Nightmare, $3.70
Assassin Creed 2, $5.00
Age of Empires 3, $9.99
Trine 2, $3.70
From Dust, $3.70
Batman Arkham City Harley Quinn's Revenge, $3.30
Warlock Masters of Arcane, $7.50
Krater, Gift
Dungeon Siege 3, Gift
Shogun 2, Gift

40USD in total, not bad.

I am in Australia, so i can buy Batman AC without region lock.

Sadly it is no longer on sale now, if not i can help you to buy region locked games.

I think Wargame Europe Escalation could be interesting. Been hearing a lot of positive feedback from people who have played it with Eugen, the developers supporting the game very well with updates and free DLC content. If i am not wrong, even if you dont want to play MP, the skirmish AI is very competent too for comp stomps.

It seems a lot harder to play compared to SC2 or CoH, due to the game's depth where you need to manage your flanks and supply to your units.

My damage is critical now, so i have to be careful, but Wargame European Escalation seems so tempting.

Well, the thing is, RTS genre is incredibly stagnant now, so i do want to try any decent RTS that pops up.

Watching this now.

Highly recommended from me, its funny at time and it is fun as hell to do all the crazy stuff with the grappling hook, like using the hook to drop the enemies off the ledge. The story is quite alright too.

Still, if you are buying, i recommend you to start playing the game on Casual, because the game's difficulty ramps up exponentially towards the end.

I didnt buy any game that is more than 9.99USD, but it is difficult to resist buying lots of games that is less than 9.99USD.

I played about 40 hours.

Probably 15 hours in campaign, while the rest is spent messing around in the game. Like hijacking cars, scenic drive, trolling with cops, and so on.

I did vote for Torchlight. D3 refugees need more quality ARPG

I dont think they are useful as you need to pay money with in game cash to use those DLCs. Some of them are rather expensive too.

That will be Driver Sans Fransisco.

The other 2 isnt very good. Test Drive is buggy, but otherwise decent game. Hot Pursuit is just garbage in every way, considering the MP is dead now and its garbage single player.

Driver Sans Fransisco. That is probably the best driving i played last year.

The rest, dont bother. Hot Pursuit is garbage unless you got friends for MP, while Test Drive is buggy.

I have finished it, and i actually find the single player story to be actually quite good. Kinda love the twist at the end which is awesome while at the beginning, i like how they design their missions to be rather entertaining like trying to scare the driving instructor to reduce the tuition fees or troll around in an expensive late game to annoy the sales man.

Multiplayer wise, i love the coop, but unfortunately, split screen is only available on console. Their twist on survival mode is amazing where you get tonnes of cops driving like mad man chasing you where you drive from checkpoint to checkpoint in different cars. It is funny.



This video actually convinced me to buy the game. Yea, its TB's videos again but i admit he does his job quite well.

Right.

*looks at thread title.

I think we should change the topic title back to Steam, it might confuse a couple of people with this "drastic" change.

Not NFS again, that overrated piece of crap.

No, its just because this particular NFS is just terrible.

Not this one, this one sucks compared to the predecessors.

Sim City with forced multiplayer and always online.

Not sure i want that.
