Well, despite chaining my wallet into a nuclear bunker on Mars, I caved in and went a bit mad:

 

Assassin's Creed Revelations, Brotherhood + 3

Battlefield 2 (Complete) + Battlefield Bad Company 2 (+ all DLC)

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (+ all DLC)

Train Simulator 2014 (come on, you all want it really and for a fiver I couldn't refuse.. even if it took me an entire hour before I worked out how to move the bloody thing)

DiRT 3

Dead Island (+ Riptide)

Rollercoaster Tycoon 1, 2, 3 (deluxe editions etc.)

 

Not bad for a total of £40-ish though, even if I know that I probably won't ever play them like the other 90% of my library! Clearly I have way too much time on my hands..

I got... Tropico 4 Collector's Bundle, Prison Architect and Banished. Have been hooked on Prison Architect over the weekend... I did have a lot more in my basket, but I already have a pile of codes that I haven't used yet, so made myself transfer them to my wishlist instead...

@nephilim - what's Europa like? that's one I transferred to wishlist.

It's good. It's hard if you haven't played a paradox game before. But it's the easiest of the series to do. World conquest is doable as any nation provided you know the mechanics.

I love Anno!

 

Has anyone played DayZ?

 

Yes. The standalone edition is a horrible buggy mess which shouldn't have been released to the public. It's billed as "early access", but it should really read "unfinished alpha". I'd wait for the full release if I were you.

Thanks for the head's up :)

+1, I vented my frustration in the http://www.edugeek.net/forums/gaming/138812-7-days-die.html thread so I won't do it again! I do think the DayZ Standalone is almost unplayable! I wouldn't recommend the only alpha game I can recommend it Rust thus far.

I haven't purchased the standalone version of day Z yet but I've seen vids and my feeling is that Dean 'Rocket' Hall has simply pocketed all of the cash made from the standalone and has no intention of 'finishing' it. It's been in development for years now and there's very little progress to speak of. It makes me wonder how large his dev team is as the impression is that there are literally one or two programmers and artists working on it. He's made millions up front and I can't help but feel this isn't being re-invested in the game unfortunately.

I started out well, hadn't bought a thing... then pay day happened.

 

Ended up with:

 

Octodad: Dadliest Catch

Space Engineers

The Fall

Deus Ex: GoTY

Deus Ex: Invisible War

System Shock 2 (Modded the life out of it :))

Risk of Rain

Shadowrun Returns (+DLC)

Grim Dawn

Ultrabundle (a few indies from some company who's name have escaped me.. they did Titans Attack)

Defy Gravity

Pineapple Smash Crew

Retro/Grade

Marlow Briggs

 

Total spend of around £50.. not too bad. I'll probably never play any of them, but hey, cheaps.

Space Engineers is amazing. I've spent far too much time playing it. :D

 

My list is:

 

Tropico 5

Space Engineers

Age of Mythology

DisplayFusion

 

That's my lot. I already have 200 games, 90% of which I've still not played...

I went all out troll with Space Engineers.. accidentally launched a friends work in progress towards an asteroid (he didn't have any thrusters etc on it), sped off after it, got it running, stole it and used it to hijack a mining ship.

Then smashed that into his mini asteroid base resulting in a rage quit. 10/10 would grief again.

 

I've got enough to keep me going for the rest of my life Steam DB

But bundles are a truly awesome thing :p

I have no idea what Space Engineers is (beyond, what I can sensibly presume.. "A game on Steam" :p) but that sounds hilarious.

You're an astronaut who can mine asteroids and raid mining convoys for materials to build and expand space stations and ships.

 

They're working on the survival mode at the minute, but we're just playing about in creative. I hollowed out an asteroid, threw a few gravity generators in there and I've now got my own little floating base.

£10.04 I believe.

Its amazing for such an early alpha release. They're very active developing it too, with new things appearing pretty regularly.

 

I fully expect it to become the next big indie game, like Minecraft.

I haven't even scratched the surface yet, need to play more, I've only got an hour or two so far.

Is it easy to build a spaceship? If so then TAKE MY MONEH

 

Yeah, a basic one is just 6 thrusters, a cockpit, reactor and gyroscope... Then from there, the sky's the limit!

Pretty much, the one I err... appropriated was four blocks right, two up, then two left.. essentially a J shape. Slapped a thruster on it, an engine, a gyroscope and a cockpit.

 

I could only fly one direction, but that's all I needed. The HMS Troll was moving well enough before it met it's target.

True. There have been a glut of "early access" games which have left people disappointed because they suddenly stop development (Cube World, I'm looking at you).
