Latest game you purchased and why?

[Nudu]

LA Noire. Because I wanted to play LA Noire.

 

[White_Lama]

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

I don't buy many games these days, can't afford to.

 

[sabercrusader]

Crackdown 2


I wanted a game for shits and giggles with my friends online, and I missed out on the first Crackdown and everyone told me it was a really good game.

 

[2fish]

Blood Bowl Legendary Edition

Painkiller Pack

Steam sale all the way!

 

[RuralGamer]

Dawn of War 2 Retribution about a week after it came out; I've liked the series so far and so it was a natural move; I've enjoyed it, so mission accomplished THQ... So yeah, not had anything in a while, but nothing has caught my fancy recently.

 

[MapTa]

Monday Night Combat, because it was 3.74 and I love a good TF2 clone.

 

[King Toasty]

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, because everybody said it was amazing. I hated it.

Yeah me too!, I got Uncharted 2, apparently its a cinematic tour de force but heck if I know because I can't play the damn thing, not because it doesn't play, but because I don't like the feeling it instils within me.

The tutorial level makes me feel like a murderer, those poor guards, they might be binary but I'm pretty sure they have a wife and kids to go home too.

Yeah, they say the gameplay is fun. Really? Didn't know wave after wave of generic soldier/pirate/aboriginal was fun.

 

[Lukeje]

The Longest Journey on steam, mainly because I realised upon seeing it there I realised that I wanted to replay it but my copy of the disc is a couple of hundred miles away...

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Edition. I got it because I foolishly believed it wouldn't suck. And it does, all the time. There is nothing good about it.

 

[DazZ.]

Frozen Synapse. Because it's fucking awesome and I've loved the whole idea of it since I heard of it.

Also it went on sale so my broke ass could afford it.

 

[RadioactiveMicrobe]

Shattered Horizon on Steam.

It seems like a fun concept.

 

[deathninja]

Silent Hunter III

Steam sale, natch.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

Trenched for 1200 points on the XBLA. Not a bad game, but it's too short for my tastes. Not bad for the money, some good comedy in it but the customizations are too few, again for my tastes.

 

[Linkassassin360]

Infamous 2, because Yahtzee came as close to recommending a game this year as he ever has.

 

[someguy2300]

Fallout New Vegas. My local game store had a sale and it was 12 bucks.

 

[kickassfrog]

inFamous 2, because inFamous 1 was pretty cool.
Although the evil ending

Spoiler

where you kill zeke

is rather sad

 

[vivster]

infamous 2... because i'm a sucker for open world and infamous is one of the best of its kind

 

[Krinku]

Oblivion and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines.

They were cheap as hell.

 

[Idiotastic]

Deus ex.

Because it was $2.50 on steam.

Why else?

This.

God,I love steam sales.
