Last PC Game worth actually buying?

Wow, the trend I'm seeing over and over again is that there hasn't been a good PC game that wasn't a short casual game in almost a year. Since I've already played and been dissapointed by Fallout 3 and Kings Bounty (the new Kings Bounty game was horrible IMO) it looks like I'm stuck with console ports and old games.
Cryostasis sounds interesting though, I think I'll check out some reviews and consider trying it out.

You know Portal was pretty good...
I've already played Portal, I loved it... It was short, and nothing there makes me want to go back to it and play it again, but I loved it while I was playing it... Man... I want a game that I can look back at three months after playing through, and think to myself... "There's a game I want to play again"

If you haven't yet checked out Condemned: Criminal Origins (by some far-flung chance), you really oughta try the PC version. It's the only horror game that's ever put me on edge, and with PC controls, the game just works.
Also to add...Xbox Live is only like 30-60 bucks for a year (depending where you get it from)DeadlyYellow said:
thirty dollar plus bucks. Awesome. Fallout 3 is amazing, Dawn of war 2 is amazing, dead space is worthwile, sins of a solar empire, fear 2, L4D, WoW... to answer the thread topic. In response as to whether or not we're being swindled or not, It seems mildly unethical for the Xbox to charge me to use the internet I already pay for on my pc with my xbox, and I find it laughable that people refer to the L4D survival pack as "DLC" when it's a bloody patch.Valentine82 said:
Dwarf Fortress.
Oh wait, that one was free? HELL YES! One of the most addictive games I've played in years. So good.
What's another one I've been playing alot of recently? Mount & Blade. So damn good and I only payed 15$ for it. Playing right now with a mod that adds gunpowder units as well as a whole slew of other tweaks to the base gameplay and it's like a whole new experience. Charging through rifle smoke to break the marching infantry lines is an experience you've gotta play yourself to know just how damn fun it is.
But you're probably thinking more recent games, because you strike me as the sort who thinks if it isn't a big-budget major release, it doesn't count for some reason. (Which is both stupid and naive I might add! You're missing a helluva lot of amazing games with that mindset.) So on that from I've been playing a fair bit of Dawn of War 2 lately and enjoying it. Love the more tactical approach the developers went with this time around and the races are as fun to play now as they ever were. Waaaagh! For the Craftworlds! For the Emperor! Snarlgnashfangdrip! The usual.
Empire: Total War is also incredible. Buggy on occasion, but incredible. Naval battles are absolutely sublime to watch, a joy just to see and experience, and there's so few games out that that pack such detail into even the most minute things so that it's a genuine joy just to *watch* the game be played. Gameplay is the same as ever, and although I know some people don't like it, personally I love the time period and think the tactics of the period are quite interesting.
Most recent game I bought? Freedom Force package on STEAM, think it was 6$, amazing value from what I hear and I'm looking forward to trying em out tomorrow.
Good times, good times! GREAT time to be a PC gamer.

Most recent game I bought was Fallout3, first day after release.
Still I got some older games real cheap after that, like Overlord.
Getting the latest and greatest may not be worth it when there's so many old gems out there that run like triple digit fps, for real cheap.

Prototype looks awesome...though the last PC game I ever actually bought was Guild Wars. The most recent game I obtained via...questionable means was Oblivion.MaxTheReaper said:
