Latest game you purchased and why?

[Greatjusticeman]

Knights of the Old Republic for PC on Steam

Because it was super cheap. Like five bucks or something. And the copy I have for Xbox is scratched and doesn't work well anymore. I'll probably have a thirst to play it before TOR is released.

 

[AnthonTheSkabot]

Terraria, I heard it was good, and it is.

 

[aashell13]

I got Theatre of War 3 hoping it'd be like World in Conflict except 1950's. I got a ridiculous buggy suckfest instead...

 

[F-I-D-O]

Oblivion Five year anniversary
Don't look at me like that!
I loved Fallout 3, but wanted to try an Elder Scrolls game before going (too) crazy for Skyrim. Then I'm chilling out until the holiday, minus some steam/psn sales.
If free games count, then I got Bomberman Ultra, Me Monstar (minis), Alien Zombie Death (mins), and Medievil (I believe that's how you spell it, it's not supposed to be medieval) (PS1 game) for free from PS+.
Surprisingly, Medievil holds up and the hack and slash gameplay is decent, and analog helps. However, considering it's supposed to be "considered one of the best gothic horror games of all time" according to the description, it's got a bit to much humor to be gothic horror.

steam sale? Epic russian developer?

Stalker: clear sky!

 

[infohippie]

Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga. I had run out of open world RPGs that I hadn't played to death, and it was on sale on Steam.

 

[SonicKaos]

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, because I played the first game at my friends last night and it seemed quite fun. Hoping I'll finally enjoy a fighting game that's not Street Fighter. Also I had 27 bucks store credit at Gamestop that I've had for months, with nothing to spend it on in the near future anyway.

 

[Anezay]

Knights of the Old Republic was on sale for $2.50 on Steam. I couldn't pass that up.

 

[EGtodd09]

The Witcher 2 because it was on sale on steam and GODDAMN IT IS SOOOOOO GOOD!!!

 

[The Mehster]

Halo 3. I just got an xbox. So... duh.

 

[Elijah Ball]

duke nukem. just bought it on amazon cos i had a $20 gift card that was abt to expire. =/

 

[Condor219]

LA Noire because it looked good, and I'd heard good things.

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

Mortal Kombat. Wanted to bring it to college, and Gamefly kept sending me other games even though MK was on the top of my list for almost a month. Got to say, I love every minute of it, though it gets a bit cheap and frustrating at times.

Almost bought Darksiders today for $20, but showed some restraint. Got some other games to beat first.

 

[Cogwheel]

Arkham Asylum a few minutes ago.

The last 23 games I bought weren't for me, though.

 

[Ninjat_126]

Mass Effect 2 for PS3, because it was $30.

 

[Blastinburn]

Deus ex.
Because it was $2.50 on steam.

Exactly this, scary huh...

 

[Srg chipmunk]

well i purchased fable2,fable3,fallout3 goty, far-cry 2,fallout Vegas i got these games cause they are all open world adventure games they cost over all $95 that's great cheap

 

[Kitteh]

When Mount&Blade is less than $4, you don't NOT buy it

 

[Sacman]

Both Alice games... I've always been interested in the series I've just never gotten around to checking it out so I figured with the sequel out I might as well get it...

you know that the first one is already included in the second game, right?

Not on the PC...

 

[Fursnake]

Far Cry 2, because it was $5. In the days before that I bought AvP, Torchlight and Two Worlds II. I think I bought up more than I can reasonably play in any real sense of time.
