Latest game you purchased and why?

[Forever of the Stars]

Phantasy Star Online, found it at a small used game shop, and it's an excuse to hook my dreamcast back up

I bet half the posts came from the Steam Sale.

I got Torchlight and STALKER: Clear Sky.
I bought Clear Sky as I had both STALKER: SoC and STALKER: CoP already, and I wanted to have the series complete.

I got Torchlight as it was 3 euros, looked awesome in the trailer, and it reminded me of Diablo II. I sunk about 2 days into it now and it's AWESOME. GO GET IT, NOW.

Dominion: Cornucopia. It's a card game (expansion). I bought it because it's really fun, and I've turned pretty much all my friends on to it. With four or five players and massive intoxication slowing us down, games usually run til' the sun comes up. This is (mostly) a good thing. I hold my liquor better than most, so I usually win, though I might have trouble remembering how.

I haven't been into video games much lately. With my PS2 and PS3 on the fritz, it's doubtful I'll buy any video games anytime soon.

Splinter Cell: Conviction.

I heard it had split-screen fun and that is rarely seen these day.

 

[cubikill]

Infamous 2 because I wanted it.

 

[scully745]

Duke Nukem: Forever, been waiting for it for 14 years so went against reviews and honestly liked it apart from having to run around on top of the dam. The simple humour I found refreshing after serious business games like Crysis and Dead Space. Not saying it was brilliant by any means, just that I enjoyed it for what it is: A game that you're not supposed to take too seriously.

 

[Deamonian]

Minecraft. Bought it for a friend that's low on money. I'm a good guy like that.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Crysis 2, because I was very bored and it was relatively cheap. Good game, but stealth makes it way too easy.

 

[Tim Mazzola]

I actually just bought Jamestown cuz I heard it was a good shmup with awesome music.

 

[GeorgW]

The last 20+ games I bought I had the same reasons, steam sale!
The last one was Deus Ex I think, and that's because I've been wanting to get it and just wanted the price to drop.

 

[ParanoidAndroid]

Oblivion because I never got around to buying it before now.

 

[TheSolemnHypnotic]

inFamous 2 because I pre-ordered it to get a suh-weet poster. It's the first game I ever bought on release day, so now I'm official.

 

[the_hoffs_ego]

Just Cause 2, because it's freaking awesome!

 

[babinro]

Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY about 45 minutes ago for $8.00 on steam. I've played the game before having borrowed it from a friend last year, but not the GOTY. There are other games I'm playing first though, so I probably wont get to this until August.

Why? I want to play the game again in preparation of the sequel and its a good enough deal to justify a purchase.

 

[romanator0]

Torchlight, because it was cheap. Pretty fun too.

 

[EricGossett]

hmmm well lets see....

Portal 2
Torchlight
Battlefield bad company 2 and Vietnam
Bioshock 2
Just cause 2
Killing floor


Reason: Valve and their hard to resist wallet-draining sale.

 

[KING POJO]

Monday Night Combat on Steam because it was $4. XP But then I found out my computer can't handle it.

But I did get Mortal Kombat 9, though, because I actually like this one and my friends are getting it too so we can play.

 

[Ashadow700]

Mass effect 2 on the Ps3.
Why? Becuase Mass effect 2 and Red ring of Death

 

[dfphetteplace]

Fallout: New Vegas plus the DLCs for it. It is a great game that I played before, and Steam had it on sale.

 

[Wintermoot]
