£30 to spend on steam game/games what should i buy

bigjimmyauk · 21 Apr 2010 at 16:02

already have AVP,METRO,CRYSIS+WARHEAD,RED FACTION GUR,

not sure what to get i do lack any driving games on pc and i do have a logitech gt wheel which i use for gt prologue on ps3,

really just can't decide too many to choose from and only really got into pc gaming the last 4 months or so

Deus ex 1 + 2

if you want to get into PC gaming, play them.

Also GRID and DIRT 2 if you want some driving games..

And Beat Hazard if you have music

Alex74 · 21 Apr 2010 at 16:08

Also the Half-Life 1 Anthology + The Orange box. Fantastic sets of games

make sure you pick up the Deus Ex pack for £3 whilst its on midweek madness

TRINE is a no brainer for £4.25 (from £16.99) also on sale til tomorrow i think

GRID is totally worth it, but you would be much better off getting it online as you can pick it up for £6.99 instead of steams £19.99 same with DIRT 2

edit - The original colin Mcrae DIRT is £6.99 on Steam too....another VERY good game

Grid is pretty good but will turn up in a Steam sale sooner or later for a few pounds.

Sol Survivor can be had for £7 and is a pretty sweet tower defence game with multiplayer. I've clocked up over 100 hours on it so far.

Can't recommend Trine enough, especially with the 75% off.

is need for speed shift any good i seemed to like the steam demo and the grid demo was good too. But are the full games all ok?

MossyUK · 21 Apr 2010 at 19:22

bfbc2 or is that still wildly priced?

other than that - orange box.

Just Cause 2

half tempted to wait for splinter cell on the 30th always been a fan of the series been a bit dubious up to now until i see some pc reviews from a gamers aspect. Hoping it's highly polished game and not just a shoddy port from the 360 version...

to many choices

Alex74 · 21 Apr 2010 at 19:54

Start with the cheap ones

The cheaper ones suggested here are great value for money, and great games as well.

How good is that sol survivor game? I have something similar on steam from a while back but it didnt have multiplayer. How does the multiplayer work in it?

My suggestion would be BFBC2 to the OP if you enjoy FPS games!

Orange Box

Just Cause 2

Deus Ex games are £1.50 each - BARGAIN.
(In spite of what people say about invisible war, it's easily worth £1.50)

Bit old now so may seem a little clunky to a newcomer to PC gaming. You can count the number of better games than Deus Ex on the fingers of one hand though. After an unfortunate accident involving a chainsaw.

Well it has been my most played game of the last month and it's still going strong.

campaign mode is pretty much tower defense. The mulitiplayer side of it has a co-op mode, a verses mode and wars.

Wars is my favorite. It involves sending creeps to your opponents base to kill their guys. The more creeps you send the more money you get to spend. The more towers you have the more it costs to maintain them. It's all about multitasking, finding the right balance and sending the right creeps.

The game is slowly taking off and is being well supported by the developers. Take a look on their Steam forum and you will see that they are 100% behind their baby.

I used to spend hours on Defense Grid but this thing walks all over it.

Their is a demo on Steam but I hear this doesn't give a great impression of the game. It cost £7, not much to lose.

I was planning on popping 30 quid on BF:BC2 today but after reading about the latest patch i might hold off until next week or whenever they fix it. Will have a to have a dig around the bargains section on steam instead later, I never seem to have played the DEUS games somehow so they'll be first on the list at only 3 quid.

Amakuma · 22 Apr 2010 at 08:22

What is Assassins creed 2 retailing for? Its well worth buying much better than the first.

If not, Pick up Just cause 2 or Orange box

Agreed.

Just Cause 2 is better than all the old cheap games mentioned above.
