Steam Games!

Sapphire · July 30, 2011 11:36 AM

I got a new computer and can play steam games now, so I'm looking to buy some more. Anyone have any suggestions? Here are the list of games I have right now:

L4D2
TF2
Portal (will probably get the second one)
Half Life 2

and that's about it, I think. I'm up for any genre, so suggests any favorites of yours!

any genres of games that you prefer or maybe don't like? cuz there are some games i love that a lot of people think are horrifically boring

Hmm, maybe try avoiding simulation and sports games? As for what I like, ones that come to mind are RPG, shooters, point n' click, adventure, and strategy. There are probably more, but I can't think of them right now.

Episodes 1 and 2 of Half-Life 2 are totally worth playing, especially episode 2. Team Fortress is fun and I recently started playing BioShock which is awesome. Fallout 3 is considered extremely good and I'm totally looking forward to playing that when I'm done with BioShock. I also want Portal 2 but I'm waiting for the Steam sale this winter so I can get it at a really good price. Steam's winter and summer sales are amazing. Shame you missed their big summer sale.

I have Episodes 1 and 2, and Bioshock is on my 360. I forgot about Fallout 3... should I play the first two before trying out the third?

it sounds like you'd enjoy torchlight if you enjoy dungeon crawlers, and maybe spiral knights. i'd also like to backup W.A.C. on fallout 3. it's one of my favourite games and i love it.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Super Meat Boy
Fallout: New Vegas
Dead Space
Killing Floor
Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Audiosurf
Braid
Garry's Mod
Trackmania Nations Forever (it's free)

Shida · July 30, 2011 06:06 PM

Play the original Half Life too - the controls are clunky compared to HL2, but its a bit more of a thiller and creepier and stuff.
Also for fps; Serious Sam. Deceptively ridiculous. Also they have HD versions right now.

I still have to play through the rest of my library before I can suggest some more though!
Also add me! I'm either foogleboogle or THE FEFEAR on there. Whichever finds me

emanhattan · July 30, 2011 06:11 PM

oddworlds strangers wrath= great

and add me (emanhattan in steam)!

Sapphire · July 30, 2011 06:19 PM

Thanks, everyone. I'll be checking these games out.

Also, added Shida and eman. For anyone who wants to add me to steam, my username is strawberrycreme

creamcorn · July 30, 2011 06:19 PM

get nightmare house 2, its a free mod for half life 2

cipher · July 30, 2011 07:43 PM

Anyways, I can't think of much that hasn't been said already, but you want an awesome RPG check out the Witcher 2 (the first one is skippable)

Sapphire · July 30, 2011 09:34 PM

I'm part of that group.

naturally · July 30, 2011 09:44 PM
