Cheap Games?

[BFM_Kiwi]

Looks like it was mentioned, but Steam are having a big sale at the moment.

Wow.

Unfortunately (?) I'm happy with what I've got right now.  (Besides: I can't see myself taking the time to play ALL those games in those big bundles, but they're smokin' deals!)

FYI: Deals change DAILY through 1/1/2012, too, BTW....

I know this is outside the genre implied by your list.....but have you tried Minecraft?  It's cheap and will suck up any unavailable time like a 440 volt Dyson!

Ohh Minecraft...I have tried multiple times to immerse myself in the game, but I just can't do it. My roommate has tried many times to get me to play and has failed miserably at it. Though it is still installed on my computer and I do have the full version of it, so who knows.

That Steam Sale.. for another 12 hours or so Deux Ex Human Revolution is $16.99 US instead of $49.99... tough to beat even if you don't have time to play it just yet.

Also, for an absolutely addictive hoot of a little indie FPS arcade I have to recommend Xotic available on Steam as well.  This game just ate up 2 hours like it was a second.  Leaderboards, achievements, challenges, for $10 or less (on sale for $4.99 till Jan.2) this game is fun.  Check it out

Assassin's Creed (I started with 2 but get 2 before brotherhood to keep story in place)

L4D (both)

Amnesia The Dark Descent (*WARNING* as opposed to rage quitting a game you may fear quit it (i did a few times xD)

Spore with Galactic Adventures (G.A. is an expansion for Spore, you need Spore for G.A.)

all these games are great but I do repeat what i said with amnesia, it is a very scary game....
