Latest game you purchased and why?

[Sunrider]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat, Batman Arkham Asylum, Darksiders, Grand Theft Auto (first through San Andreas (I only wanted the first two, but whatevz)), Just Cause 2, Assassin's Creed 1, 2 and Brotherhood and finally Torchlight.

Steam sales, anyone? I bet no one has mentioned it so far!

EDIT: Oh right, "and why". Well, they all have high entertainment value (albeit for different reasons), and they were all really cheap. Besides, I'm not poor.

 

[Peter Pottorff]

INfamous because it was free

 

[Blemontea]

Morrowind, Metro 2033, Amnesia the dark descent, Hydrophobia, Reccetear, Zen Bound 2. They were on Sale on STEAM and I finally got a computer that works, the whole pack cost me less than one standard game from gamestop!

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Sims 3 (66% off? hell yeah, i always liked the sims but the new ones are still bloody expensive separately)

GTA IV GOTY edition, it was like 9 bucks i think? not bad, especially after seeing that new graphic update in the news content on this site, had to get it.

i'll see what else they put in the sales...but so far i've gotten like 9 games this time around, frickin christ steam are you trying to run me broke?!?

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

The Witcher 1 + 2, because I got really excited about the second game but wanted the complete story. Read some reviews of the Director's cut edition and thought I might as well pick it up.

the first one is harder to get into at first, but once you understand the interface/initial story/how the mechanics work, and get a bit of the stories momentum, i think its a pretty fun game and a solid prequel to that amazing game that is the witcher 2

 

[DOOM GUY]

Torchlight, because it was $2.99 on Steam, and before that, LA Noire, because it looked pretty good (and in my opinion it is pretty good)

AI War Bundle
Beat Hazard Complete
Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition

Torchlight
Might and Magic Heroes VI (preorder)
Magicka: Robe Bundle
Magicka: Frozen Lake
Magicka: Watchtower
Magicka: Final Frontier
Magicka: Nippon DLC
Magicka: Marshland
Magicka: Vietnam
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale
BIT.TRIP.RUNNER

Most of them were under £2 but my wallet still hates me. Unfortunately I'm really unimpressed with what's been offered for sale today

 

[Ando85]

Threads of Fate. Always wanted to play it as I'm a big fan of jrpgs and Square (much more in the olden days than now). Was recently added to PSN so I got it for 6 bucks.

 

[Weslebear]

Eye of the North expansion for Guild Wars.

I want my Hall of Monument points for GW2 rewards .

 

[Flour]

Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 bundle.

Steam sale, it wasn't that much more expensive than buying just one of them so I decided to get them both.

The only problem is that I have 140kb/sec download speed so it will take roughly 1,5 days to fully download them

 

[RobfromtheGulag]

Hunted.

It has a scantily clad Elf on it and the word Bethesda somewhere on the box.

 

[Megacherv]

Time Crisis Razing Storm. Only a tenner, and it also includes Time Crisis 4, which I fucking love

 

[Kukakkau]

Prince of Persia the Forgotten Sands

Why? It was £5 in summer clearance sale and my xbox was looking lonely.

2 no serious days of play and it's 1000/1000 gamerscore with next to no effort and I'll likely never touch the game again

 

[JBGigas]

Trine for 4,99e (I<3Steam)
But before that, I bought The Legend of Zelda: OoT for 3DS, and the 3DS system itself. 45e for the game and 279e for the system.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Fallout: New Vegas. It was on sale and I wanted to buy it eventually anyways.

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon. Because I enjoy wanton destruction. I enjoy it very much.

 

[FuktLogik]

Duke Nukem Forever. Because Bestbuy wouldn't let me cancel my preorder after I found out how shit it was from reading the reviews.

 

[eggy32]

The Darkness because it's fantastic.
Has a really good story with interesting characters. The gameplay is also fun as hell. I love using the tentacle to impale people and throw them across the room, then eat their hearts.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Fallout new vegas for $10 new at Nebraska furniture mart. Sale ends 7/7/2011.

I'm playing that game and I will sell it for more than I paid.

a fellow nebraska furniture mart customer? awesome.

hah i've done that a few times, that is ridiculous though its for 10 bucks already for the physical copy...

 

[Alcamonic]

Trine and Serious Sam HD collection.
Reason: Steam sale!

Damn you steam...
