Steam’s Holiday Giveaway

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 5:04 am

So I was lucky enough to be among the 100 people who came in 2nd place in Steam's Holiday Giveaway. This means that on Monday, I will receive the top 5 games on my wishlist, which now needs some work. I'm posting because I'm pretty much satisfied when it comes to video games at the moment, and could use some recommendations. They can be unreleased games as well, provided they are coming out on Steam (so something like ME3 is probably not happening).

A couple of picks I have so far are The Witcher 2, Bioshock Infinite, AssCreed Rev, and a couple others I am completely willing to rethink because I don't really care all that much about them. I kind of feel as if they should be something new/expensive, simply because I have most of the old/cheap stuff. If I haven't bought it already, I don't think I'm going to really be interested in the game, if you know what I'm saying.

So does anyone have some recommendations? Before you post, I do already have all the Beth games I'm interested in.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lhzDkaKi1wshould be one.

So should http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYbH25f36Qg but I do not think you can pre-order that yet. Nevermind that s=is only for Xbox and the PS3 it seems.

I don't see the first one in Steams store either. I would guess because of the publisher. :(

Yeah totally forgot about that whole stink between EA and Steam.

Hmmm...now i dunno. My fail on this thread is magnificent though.

I thought that was the 3th prize (1st being all games on steam, 2nd top 10 games on your wishlist)?

Anyway, judging by the genre of games you're already considering, I'd add deus ex: human revolution and saints row the third (the last one is still on my wishlist so I can't actually tell if it is good or not), maybe dead island if you don't take it to seriously (haven't got that one yet either). Provided you don't have those games yet.

Congrats on winning.

I strongly disagree on the Dead Island suggestion, I found nothing to like about that game when I tried it. I'd get Batman Arkham City if you don't have it yet, it seems to be quite well liked by everyone who's played it.

Fair enough, the only reason I mentioned dead island is because I have it on my wishlist, but you're right, I personally don't plan on buying it until it approaches the €5 mark.
