Need a cheap game on steam, not sure where to start.

[DPunch4]

Okay so I liked Age of empires. I generally like strategy games. I like tower defences.

I loved final fantasy X, I guess I like JRPGs. Amnesia is amazing, I bought it as soon as I got this computer. I appreciate good music in games too.

Okay so I just sat here for 2 minutes typing what I could think of, it seems I'm not thinking very well..

I need cheap games on steam that are of quality. I could buy a whole bunch of super cheap games, or buy a single $25 game. Please suggest things to me I don't have much

Section 8: Prejudice is only $15, its campaign is superb and the multiplayer modes will keep you coming back.

If you wanted something for a good $5, there's this random indie title called VVVVVV. It's a good gameplay design and is probably good for a weekend game. It might be a bit difficult, but there are a lot of checkpoints lying around.

Arx Fatalis is probably one of the cheapest on Steam and it's damn good.

I mean, it's the same price as a hat in TF2, for God's sake!

Also, Sim City 4 is on sale today (in the UK, I hope everyone else gets the deal, though):

There are many good games on Steam and very cheap... I myself can't keep my credit card and a computer with the Steam open in the same room together.
The Valve Complete Pack, there are a world of games and is are fairly cheap...And every now and again they release Indie Packs, I strongly sugest go after those.

Over 70 hours of valid fun, or a sincere apology in return... And cake!

Medieval II or Rome Total war. They were both like ten bucks last I checked.

Perhaps Recettear, shop management and dungeon crawling. I don't quite remember what it costed though.

Shame you just missed the massive sale on the Mount & Blade games. And if you're gonna pick up Dwarfs?! you might as well just get Dwarf Fortress instead. It's free, with plenty of mods to make it look halfway decent.

A good start.

Dwarfs? actually states it's based on "great games like Dwarf Fortress".

This http://store.steampowered.com/browse/under4 will give you all the cheap games.

From the front page I'd say Plants vs Zombies, X-Com pack and VVVVV

 

[spectrenihlus]

Sim city 4 is 75% off atm.

 

[Noswad]

Try alien swarm, its a decent multi-player top down shooter and best of all its free.

Is Sol Survivor still on sale? If so, get that. Yesterday I would have said Plants vs. Zombies since it was on sale for dirt cheap.

edit: Just checked, Sol Survivor is still on sale. Also, Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 are on sale and you can't go wrong with them.
