I'm not that hyped so far. I picked up Shadow Warrior, Foul Play, Gunpoint, and Marlow Briggs (I don't even know, it was a dollar).

How about you?

Bought Far Cry 3 - yes I'm late to the party - and Singularity. Now I'm just waiting for a bunch of indie games to go down to 75%.

Shadow Warrior! Dat katana totally stole the show in a big fxxking way. I would recommend to avoid spoilers though...it has a surprisingly sad ending. Marlow Briggs however is cheesy as heck and it was hilarious.

Also, Dead Space 1 was free on Origin a while ago....

Debating grabbing the first Borderlands

Depending on what you're looking for. If you're looking for a story, Borderlands has an very interesting setting, but the story is told at a crawling speed. Also the first game's ending is a major letdown, which is only made up by the - you guessed it - second game. Other than that it's just a Diablo-style mega-lootfest plus some pressure-relief mindless shooting.

I have been reading reviews about it.

I think most of what is making it tempting is the FO3-esque nature of it (in a mirrored sense)
Edit: which I have been having trouble getting working on my current desktop

I pick up the Soul Reaver and Legacy of Kain series from GOG for under $10.

Dead Space 1 and 2. Never played them but I read the books and watched the movies and wanted them badly.

I hope you will find joy in the game, I heard so many good about it, but for me it failed

seriously, an atlas is a swift athlet compared to the guy you have to use in that game. after 1 hour I gave up on this game, the design of that superslow guy you had to play, with a felt like 1/3 blocked vision by its TP-View. Horrible to play. Would had more fun throwing 5€ out of the window seeing the coins jump and roll over the street.

[_Comrade_]

Dailies today are awesome Saints Row 4, Arma III, Dark Souls. Think i might grab dark souls but i also don't want to smash my monitor in rage so im still debating. Don't know a lot about insurgency to buy it

I picked up Xcom the bureau, despite the bad reviews and I'm impressed by how good it is. I mean, with the way it was treated, I expected something unplayable, but no! it's actually pretty good!

[Hex Pallett]

For those thinking about getting Dark Souls, keep in mind that it still uses GFWL.

Batman Arkham City GOTY
4,99 EUR

Make sure to get this! Full game plus DLC.

Why would you do this? As soon as I have a game I'm interested in, I'll hop on. MechWarrior is like being home, your default state. Why force yourself there? Why not ...extend the pleasure a bit.

Well, I'm in a tournament right now, so I have to make sure I get my practices in so I don't embarrass my unit too badly. And considering I'm the drop caller...yeah. Then I have a couple of videos to finish up, including the latest in the Night Watch Armory series. And of course I haven't played MWO in a week because vacation (those fish aren't going to catch themselves!), so I kinda feel the need to play MWO anyway.

I know that once I start playing Skyrim it's probably going to exclusively gobble my time up for the next 100-150 hours of video game time, so need to make sure I have a decently free schedule for when that happens.

[Heffay]

Oh, and Kerbal Space Program is available right now! I *highly* recommend that game! It's really just a sandbox right now with a rudimentary career mode, but like MWO, it's one of the games I've been waiting 20+ years for: a NASA simulator.

There is a great xkcd comic about KSP...

And people laugh when I say I learned more from playing video games than I ever did from school.

Haven't played KSP - but I would highly recommend the Civ series for similar educational fun.
