Latest game you purchased and why?

[hverhey]

The last one I got was Duke Nukem... I hate being broke

 

[TonyVonTonyus]

The Witcher 2, why? Boredom and abundance of time and cash.

 

[pyrosaw]

Monday Night Combat, because it looked awesome. It's screwing my machine.
AAAAAAAAAAA a reckless disregard for gravity. Because, well, I like Debojaan.(Hoped I spelled that right.)

 

[Chibz]

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon. Fantastic title (EDF! EDF! EDF!), loads of fun being had with it.

 

[Entraboard]

The whole Dawn of War 2 package: OG and 2 expansions (Chaos Rising, Retribution).
A friend gifted me the Retribution: Last Stand (stand-alone version) and I got hooked.
I forgot how much I love the "grim darkness" of the whole WH40K universe.
Didn't even know it existed until I played the original Dawn of War at a LAN party.

But this time, I just got so into I even went out to find a hobby store that sold WH40k and started building an army so I could play the table top game.

So I guess my last few games (be it a PC game or something to play IRL) have all been Warhammer related.

In the past 24 hours or so I've bought:

- Planescape: Torment (GoG)
- Medieval 2: Total War
- Portal 2 (Steam)
- Star Wars: Republic Commando (Steam)
- Star Wars: Empire at War (Steam)

Mostly because of this forum.

 

[theamazingbean]

Order of Ecclesia, because I ran out of Aria of Sorrow to play.

 

[Sonicron]

Portal 2, on the summer sale.

Now I just have to restrain myself from playing it until I'm done writing my bachelor's thesis.
26 more pages to go... *sigh*

 

[LookingGlass]

And to add to my list 3 posts up, I just bought Hitman 2 and Hitman: Blood Money for $2.50 each in the Steam sale. Couldn't resist.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Mass Effect Pack (Mass Effect 1 & Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition).

The reason is because it was on sale for around 25% off, and buying both games in a pack actually costed less then buying the Deluxe Edition.

 

[Continuity]

Empire total war and Napoleon total war:

Because I enjoyed medieval 2, because they get good reviews, and because they were super cheap in the steam sale.

 

[Breywood]

The last was Diablo 2 because I wanted to mule items more safely online. The one before that was Neverwinter Nights 2, because I was looking forward to the new design features. Unfortunately, my poor old P4-2.5GHz isn't up to the task unless I turn every slider for graphics to minimum.

 

[Mithol]

Portal, I wanted a hard copy of it so people would stop making me log onto steam to prove I've played it.

 

[hazabaza1]

Way of the Samurai. Gonna make a Let's Play of it once it gets here from the post.

 

[thejackyl]

Shadows of the Damned, because Suda51

NWN2 $7 steam sale for the game and its 2 expansions (I need to tickle my DnD bone too)
Terraria because of the Steam sale and peer pressure

 

[superstringz]

Neverwinter Nights 2, Platinum. Again, except on steam, cause my DVD version got maimed by my swivel chair. Also it was on sale, and I'm just a sucker for those.

 

[Museli]

My last purchase was the Hitman Collection on Steam, as it was a fiver for three games, I've never played the series before, but it's always interested me, and I saw a really funny LP on Chocolate Hammer.

 

[Crazy Zaul]

2W2 cos I was unaware it sucks.

 

[SpaceBat]

For my part, I got Bioshock 1 and 2, because, hey it's one of the latest classics that one needs to play

Don't play two if you enjoy the first one. People generally praise the first game, while dismissing the second...Which is completely justified.

 

[LookingGlass]

I just bought X-Com: UFO Defense or whichever title for it you prefer from Steam. Yeah, I know I missed the sale, but $5 is hardly going to break the bank.

I've never played it and it gets some serious love so I figured I need to try it out.
