I’ve got a random question for you, readers. I’d like you to leave your answers in the comments section below, if you would be so kind.
What games did you spend money on in October? Please list anything you might have bought, PC or console, budget or full price, DLC, subscription, or microtransaction.
Go!
Metro 2033: £5 new on EBay… Would have bought on Steam but it was £30
report
I bought 2 copies of Metro2033 for 5 euros (at a retail shop about 2months ago, I traded one, and gave one to a friend as I had preordered the game before it came out on Steam.)
I don’t think I have bought any games yet so far this October, going to buy Dogfighter though.
report
You can add Metro 2033 to Steam wherever you buy it.
report
Can you? I didn’t know that :) I shall do it :)
report
I actually just got Metro 2033 too. Amazon had it for a tenner, and I had £6 credit there. Came with a free copy of RFG too, but I’ve already played that on the 360.
I also have got Civ5 and Alpha Protocol in pricing errors, costing £2.35 and £2.25 respectively.
Empire: Total War and DogFighter in sales.
I also swapped a spare license I had from a borderlands 4 pack for Arkham Asylum.
Total spend ~£30/40
report
Metro 2033 is bound to your steam account anyway!
I found out the hard way buying s/h from ebay. Got refund though.
report
Oh, I ordered a copy of New Vegas for £18 too, that is currently being shipped to me though.
report
And Outcast.
report
I bought Metro 2033 a little while ago for less than a tenner and was excited to discover it had RFG free with it.
During October, I bought:
L4D & L4D2 on Steam
The Tales Of Monkey Island on Steam
Outcast on GOG.com
StarCraft II: Wings Of Liberty (retail)
Oh, and GOG.com gifted me Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games. Does that count?
report
Tales of monkey island complete pack in a steam sale – and that’s it.
Bought a LOT of games in September and have not played half of them yet.
report
Oops didn’t mean to reply, oh well.
report
From Steam:
Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY
Numen: Contest of Heroes
Monkey Island Complete Pack (It sucks, I regret even spending the 5 bucks for it when on sale)
From Good Old Games:
Temple of Elemental Evil
Planescape: Torment
Outcast
Steam stuff was all on sale, only thing I can say is that Telltale’s Monkey island series is that it just fails to capture the humor and atmosphere of the original series.
report
MInecraft
Monthly Warcraft Subscription
report
Dogfighter, New Vegas, Fallout3 Goatee, Arcanum, Outcast, Arma 2.
Some kind of consumer whore.
report
Outcast? Good choice sir.
report
If you’re like me then you’ll want Outcast to be fullscreen, this mod fixes that as well as letting you use a much higher resolution, can be demanding, I personally wouldn’t set it above 1024×768 as it looks a bit naff to me over that…
http://www.gog.com/en/forum/outcast/experimental_outcast_hi_res_patch_up_to_1280x768_cyana_lighthouse_problem_fixed/page1
(The mod also fixes one quest mission which is really handy!)
report
Dogfighter (which is quite fun, but has the worst soundtrack I’ve ever heard), Arcanum and Outcast for me aswell.
report
A shiny new 22″ widescreen LCD for my PC. Replaces the 10 year old 15″, 2 mile wide, 3 ton CRT that sat on my desk before.
Also, Sword of the Stars: Complete Edition because although I’d bought SOTS as a download in September (I think), I wanted the add-ons and realised it’d be cheaper to by the whole lot again.
Oh and Tales of Monkey Island.
report
Congratulations on the new monitor – that’s quite a leap in a single upgrade :)
15” is almost so oldschool that you might even be able to sell your old monitor to some victorian/steampunk cosplayers :-P
report
£8.99 for my WoW sub.
Yeah, that’s pretty much it. I’ve spent my downtime catching up on the mountain of games I bought during the Steam Summer Sale.
report
Tales of Monkey Island on Steam for a trivial amount of money in the sale.
Batteries for a friend’s wii-mote.
Um
Probably going to pick up BB: Legendary, but because I’m a feckless internet user with the attention span of a [insert insect of preference here] I’m still awaiting one of the big gaming sites to tell me it’s available. Could just check the Cyanide site, or wikipedia, or amazon, but… no. Can’t be bothered, I’m afraid.
report
I lied; I could be arsed. Have just spent £17.99 with alarmingly little effort on a shiny new copy of BB.
report
Fallout New Vegas.
That’s it!
report
Same here. Bought it a second time as well, for the newly wed sibling.
report
Four crate keys in TF2 :(
report
I pity you!
report
was it worth it? get anything worth $2.50 (or whatever keys cost)?
report
- Fallout: New Vegas (PC)
- 4 keys in the Mann Co store on TF2
- was gifted Red Faction: Guerilla during the steam sale
That’s it I think.
report
Nothing.
I’m poor :’(
report
worry not :)
a place to start looking for some
report
Me too. Not the poor thing. Well I am poor I guess. But I’m poorer in time. I’m still playing games I bought months ago(hell, years ago, only just stopped playing Stalker). Do you people play all these games you buy? I bought Amnesia over a month ago and still haven’t been able to give it more that a few hours.
report
Nothing, too. For reasons of time-poverty (and also, frankly, I’ve not seen anything I desperately need to have, either. I even seem to be immune to Minecraft’s lure…).
report
Oh, but at the end of September, I bought some old PS2 games I’ve never played (MGS2, Viewtiful Joe, Devil May Cry) because they were exceptionally cheap. (This is the thing about consoles: there’s no real reason to buy a new one if you’re already massively “behind” in releases from the last generation…)
report
Nothing.
I bought everything worth playing.
report
Just Dogfighter with the €1,35 deal. Been keeping myself busy with League of Legends this month.
The Ball is tempting though.
report
It’s not bad. Worth it for just being different, i think.
report
Same here, I’ve bought only nearly-free Dogfighter. Been busy with Bad Company 2 and good old Space Rangers 2.
report
Fallout: New Vegas (through G2Play.net. Is this considered morally questionable?)
DogFighter (Steam Sale)
Eternal Sonata, PS3 (Zavvi.co.uk sale)
Valkyria Chronicles, PS3 (Zavvi.co.uk sale)
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, PS3 (Zavvi.co.uk Mega Monday sale)
Vanquish, Xbox360 (Zavvi.co.uk Mega Monday sale)
Fable 3, Xbox360 (Pre-order)
Super Meat Boy, Xbox360 (XBLA sale/introductionary price cut)
A crapload of iPhone games for 0.59£ a pop.
And that’s only so far. I’m still planning on getting Rock Band 3 + the wireless keyboard this month. And maybe Enslaved: Journey to the West for the 360…
report
Jeez. You win the lottery or something? ;-) Most people I know with the money to spend on that many games work too much to get it to actually play them – and conversely, those who have the time don’t usually have the cash.
report
Do you actually work? (most likely due to the total cost of that lot) however no one can realistically play that lot. That’s ludicrous.
report
Yup, I have a job. At work right now. :-)
What can I say, I buy the stuff I think is interesting and then play it whenever I have the time. I have a decent salary and don’t pay too much in rent so I have the money to spend. Not my fault October has been jam-packed with interesting releases!
report
In my experience I used to be able to work, afford as many games as I wanted and had time to play pretty much all of them, even while doing a lot of socialising. What changed?
Girlfriend -> Small decrease in game time.
Moved in with girfriend -> Massive decrease in game time.
Bought house -> Substantial reduction in money and further decrease in game time.
Now it might take me 3 months to get through a game like Fallout: NV.
For the future:
Children -> No game time, no money.
report
And te only game I’ve bought this month is DogFighter.
report
Baboonaza, stop copying my life! My girlfriend is wanting children, my game time is already on it’s arse!!
report
There is only one thing I prefer doing than games playing, so my SO always has the upper hand there.
Games just cannot scratch that itch!
report
Baboonanza and clownst0pper,
I’m in the same boat, although my baby is now 15 months old. Perhaps people like us should start a club or something.
report
We could start a club, but we wouldn’t have time to attand any meetings!
report
And here is our club’s official comic: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/9/15/
report
Nothing… been reading a lot more and playing Civ4 BTS Better Bug AI mod..
report
King’s Bounty Crossworlds (including Armoured Princesss) – that’s RPS’s fault
Dogfighter – that’s RPS’s fault
Blood Bowl legenday edition – that’s only tangentially RPS’s fault (blame the nice people of the forum)
possibly a £10 donation for Dwarf Fortress, but I think that was actually September.
Quiet month for me.
Bob, it’s available to download from the Cyanide site, but the activation codes aren’t available yet. Midnight tonight, I think. It’s also available on Play for “bargains bargains, much cheapness”
report
Minecraft (online), Fallout New Vegas CE (Game store), Assassin’s Creed 2 (Steam), Civilisation V (Steam)
All the above are PC and bought at full price.
report
Haven’t bought anything, my steam list is still full of unfinished games from steams summer sales..
report
I bought some ME2 DLC on a whim at the weekend. That’s about it.
report
25 iThing games totalling ~$30 (thanks to podgamer), GTAIV: Lost and Damned for 1600 MSP (360), Costume Quest for 1200 MSP (XBLA), Dogfighter, Shank & Deathspank totalling ~$26 (Steam).
report
I bought the Arma 2 Combined Operations pack with Operation Arrowhead. And a buddy gifted me Dogfighter.
report
Fallout 3
report
I meant Fallout New Vegas
report
Dead Rising 2, Fallout New Vegas and Tales of Monkey Island
I can’t seem to log in has anyone written a nice tutorial on how to it never seems to remember I am when I try to comment
report
Oh seems I was logged in sorry for useless
report
Enslaved: Odyssey of the West – PS3
Fallout: New Vegas – PC
Vanquish – PS3
report
Arcanum, Outcast, The Polynomial. For now.
report
October was a slow month.
Costume Quest on PSN, full price, but full price’s not all that much.
Alpha Protocol on GreenManGaming when there was the misprice thing (would never have bought it otherwise)
Bloody Good Time on pre-order @ D2D, for the full price of ~£4 .
My girlfriend bought Raving Rabbids TV party for the WIi, does that count? I guess this counts as budget, even though it was as expensive as all the above games combined. It was much cheaper than at release, anyway.
And I’m pretty sure that’s it.
report
Hmm, let me see…
DeathSpank (Steam)
Shank (Steam)
Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic (Steam)
Icewind Dale Complete (GOG.com)
aaaaand…
Puzzle Quest HD for the iPad. I have now played this title on four platforms (PSP, PC, dumbphone and iPad) and I still can’t get enough of it.
report
Baldur’s Gate
report
I’ve been good this month:
A four pack of DogFighter.
Might buy Super Meat Boy tonight.
report
Was gifted a WoW sub card and minecraft.
Bought Revenge of the Titans, Titan Attacks, Droid Assault, and Ultratron.
Might as well list Dogfighter and AI War as well as I am terribly close to buying both.
report
I love answering questions!
- The Longest Journey and Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura from GOG.com
- Shank and DeathSpank on Steam
- I don’t have an iPhone, but I gifted Spider: Secret of Bryce Manor and Bit.Trip Beat to a friend who has an iPod touch.
Oh, and I’ll probably pick up DogFighter, but I’m waiting to see what else goes cheap in the THQ Steam sale. Quinns and others dissuaded me from getting New Vegas, although it was mostly because I’m trying to not buy games with upcoming exams.
report
So glad to see so many people are playing Arcanum. Such a great game!
report
Fallout New Vegas
Super Meat Boy
Costume Quest
Microsoft points to buy Super Meat Boy and Costume Quest (magical currency!)
Commandos Complete (2 quid!)
report
The Mass Effect 2 DLC – The Shadow Broker. Very good indeed! Due to uni I’m afraid that’s it.
report
* 4 copies of 4 Heroes of Light on the DS (one for a friend, one for me, one for husband, and one for sister-in-law)
* $10 Kingdom of Loathing “donation” for the Familiar of the Month
* WoW subscription
* Xbox Live subscription
There might have also been the purchase of an extra Xbox controller, but I honestly can’t remember whether that was October or September. They’re all blurred together in my head.
report
Galcon Fusion $10, L4D2 in the sale 5 quid and Minecraft!
report
Dogfighter for £1 +5p fun tax.
Red Faction: Guerilla for whatever steam were charging on Monday.
I spent some money in the F2P MMO Perfect World International as well.
I probably would have bought New Vegas if it wasn’t for the fact that waiting for the Goatee Edition will be far better value for money than the £60 it will cost for the game and the DLC otherwise.
report
Men of Waaaar.
“Guys. This is bad.”
report
Fallout new vegas (on the xbox), lost planet 2 (xbox), blood bowl legendary edition (PC), super meat boy (xbox), comic jumper (xbox), temple of elemental evil (PC), race for the galaxy (boardgame – bought due to RPS, i might add!)
Not been a month for buying much on the PC for me (and also looks like an expensive month, looking back on it!). I got a good deal on fallout, and I enjoy playing it from a sofa, so xboxed it, even though it probably would look better on my pc, but i also think that famously buggy games will be more stable on console ?(easier to bug test due to single platform?). Lost planet I got for 1 euro from gamestop, so almost doesn’t count :-). Blood bowl – I run the divisions of death so thats a business expense ;-). Super meat boy is a lot of fun, as is comic jumper. They’d both be fine on pc, but i had some live points to spend NOW and they’re best with a joypad regardless of platform. I think thats it for this month?! Probably going to ease off on games for a bit. But I always say that and end up being swayed, so we’ll see – I wasn’t planning to get the new fallout game, for example, but a cheap price lured me in.
report
Reading through the above comments, I also got alpha protocol from green man games for like £2.50 after a misprice (thought that was last month!) and I’ve bought a few iphone games for no more than 59p. Notably good purchases were stick golf and battle for wesnoth (bargain 200 hours of turn-based rpg-strategy on iphone for 59p?! Everyone should own this). :-)
report
One TF2 key and a Pile O’ Gifts (22 or so dollars)
report
Minecraft
STALKER Radioactive addition (and that because I just completed SoC and was totally blown away)
Assassins Creed 2
Dogfighter
Oh – and looking at my Steam purchases it seems I went for Disciples II Gold which – if I’m honest – I’ll probably never play
report
Some iPhone games (about 10 euro’s worth)
TOMI on sale from Telltale
L4D2 on Steam sale
Alan Wake for 25
Bionic Commando – 10 Euro
XBL:
Some DLC for Mass Effect 2 on sale
Comic Jumper
Hydrophobia
Super Meat Boy

Probably getting Fallout New Vegas next weekend as well.
The only thing i actually played for more than half an hour is Lara Croft…. >_<

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow $30
Angry Birds iPhone $1
Magic Drop F $3

So, where exactly do you live, and when will you next be out?
report
I think you’ll be buying a lot of games soon when you realise how crap most of those games are. To each their own I suppose.
report
Haegemonia (GOG), missed this when it came out, heard it was good.
Titan Quest + Immortal throne (Steam) sale, got both for 2,49 euro or something, usually not much for Diablo clones, but this was so cheap, and I’d heard it was sort of good.

Oh, I forgot to add that I bought all those games on sales.
I also bought all Puppygames games, also on sales.
Revenge of the Titans 50% off
and the other three in a single pack for 5€ if I remember correctly
report
…hm. I bought absolutely nothing, as it turns out: I spent this month playing the backlog of things I owned but hadn’t finished (damn those sales on Steam!), and replaying a few old favorites. I did order the first episode of Telltale’s new Back to the Future game, but that was free, and it’s not out yet, so it doesn’t really count as an October purchase either way.
Looking towards the end of the year, I’ve got New Vegas on my Christmas list, so I won’t be getting that ’til Dec. 24th at the earliest. I’ll probably get around to buying the Shadow Broker DLC for Mass Effect 2 in either November or December, depending on when I feel like reinstalling the game.
report
The Witcher – extended edition directors cut
report
Xbox360:
Halo:Reach – It’s one of the best designed single player FPS games ever made and everybody who claims otherwise hasn’t played it or probably thinks that Call of Duty games have good single player gameplay.
Dead Rising 2 – I just can’t bring myself to play the campaign, I always end up wearing a gimp suit driving around Zombies in wheel chairs.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Eskil Steenberg once said that every game developer should fire all their designers, because they can’t code and can’t make art and so they are worthless. C:LoS is a prime example of what happens when you don’t have level designers or let artists do the job of designers. The game might just be the best looking console game of this generation, but you’ll spend up to 15 minutes searching for your way out of almost every single screen – the player guidance and level design really is that bad. But at least you get to look at pretty stuff while looking for the exit.
Limbo – Prince of Persia as imagined by a disturbed teenager with “issues”.
Lara Croft: Guardian of Light – The best coop game ever.
PC:
Red Faction Guerilla – bought it yesterday on Steam because it was dirt cheap. Haven’t played it yet.
Some russian RTS/RPG I’ve forgotten the name of on Steam. It was cheap, I played it for ten minutes, it sucked.
Fallout New Vegas – Quinns is wrong.
report
Also a bunch of games on GoG, though I’m not quite sure which ones I bought in September and which in October.
report
Still saving up for a machine that can actually play starcraft II.
I’m completely playing starcraft I atm though. Should keep me busy for a couple of months (yeah, that should tell you something about how much ‘free time’ I have for gaming anyway)
report
For me it’s the X superbox
report
Minecraft and Dogfighter, also debating whether to get Shank or not but canney decide at this time.
I also got the Football Manager 2011 demo but no money was spent there.
report
Fallout New Vegas (Zavvi – it still hasn’t shipped but they have taken my monies!)
Planescape: Torment (GOG, obv)
Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura (GOG again, when it was on offer)
I would have done a Back to the Future pre-order, but, alas, I must wait until payday or reach the end of my agreed overdraft.
report
I bought a hat in TF2 :[
report
Only bought
- Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (I loved the demo but haven’t had time to play the game)
- Outcast (played it for about half an hour but the interface *shudders* is it really worth playing? It would have to be really really really fucking good for me to play it when there is so much else to play and so little time!)
Planning on getting this month:
- Tales of Monkey Island Episode 1 (because the people on RTS say that it’s actually quite good)
- Maybe Fable 3, but I have yet to decide
- Maybe Halo: Reach, if I get bored of other games
I played Fallout: New Vegas at a friends house and I’m not impressed at all. Didn’t like Fallout 3 much and the same goes for New Vegas. I loved Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics (yes, I liked Tactics), but this new thing is just not my thing. Hope the MMO is any good.
report
Been revisiting my 360 recently.
Costume Quest (1200 moonbucks)
Super Meat Boy (800 moonbucks)
Bayonetta (£13)
Costume Quest really should’ve made it to PC as well, seems a bit odd for Double Fine to have this new direction and ignore sales channels like Steam and the other DD sites.
I’ve been considering Rock Band 3 but at those prices… I’ll have to wait for HMV to flog it off cheap.
report
This Costume quest should 100% be on PC. If it’s never going to make it to PC, can we remove the screen high advert from RPS? It’s kinda depressing.
report
I’m the only RPS reader who bought the new Sims 3 expack, Latenight. Oh, yes.
report
heh. I did actually think about getting sims3 a couple of days ago. still a bit too expensive, and I don’t really like sims games, so. not yet. what’s the new expansion?
report
A city to live in (as opposed to a suburb), clubs, bands, drinks and the promise of celebrity (for your sim, that is). Oh, and vampires.
report
Its on my ‘to buy’ list, but I’m not sure I need to get it this Friday tbh. Presently I’m balls deep in replaying Fallout 3 GOTY edition atm, and with FNV to get into after that Simming can wait for a month or so.
report
I just bought Titan Quest on the Steam sale, as well as Men of War last week when it was cheap. I’ve bought one TF2 crate key, and picked up a copy of Diablo 2 for about three quid in a charity shop.

Dogfighter for £1, Puzzle Dimension for £3.50, both on the Steam sale the other night. Some crate keys for TF2 for myself and a friend. Three-month renewal of my WoW account. Baldur’s Gate, Jagged Alliance 2, Duke Nukem 3D and Planescape: Torment on GOG.com.
Oh, and £1.25 on the new and delightful work-in-progress Lottie’s Dungeon ( http://www.lottiesdungeon.com go go free advertising) because, well, it’s a procedurally generated action RPG and it was £1.25 to encourage a British indie dev.
That’s all I can recall off the top of my head.

Lara Croft & the Guardians of Light – XBox 360 1,200 lame MS stupid money

Only thing I’ve bought is Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, I even cancelled my WoW sub as I’m having a break until Cataclysm comes out. Got my eyes on New Vegas though, but I want to be convinced it’s in a state where I’ll actually enjoy it before I dive in.

Also, my last ‘big’ game was Lara Croft and the GOL preorder, end of last month. Only did that because you got Legend for free with the preorder, which was the only (Crystal Dynamics) Tomb Raider I didn’t already have, and on Steam.
I don’t buy games over 15€. Really, I don’t. That’s the limit. Actually, the limit is 10€, but very rarely I do go as high as 15€ (like when I get another game I want for free in the deal, making it actually 7.5). That’s 13 pounds, or 21 dollars. And I only buy games on Steam. ONLY ON STEAM, no retail AT ALL. For years now I’ve spent peanuts on my gaming habit, and my gaming library is FUCKING HUGE. Meaning, It’s over a 125 excellent (and many hardcore, AAA) games, and I will never finish them all for as long as I live.
Truly, we live in a golden age of PC gaming.
report
I have bought:
The Passing L4D2 Xbox DLC
Left 4 Dead 2 on PC
Enslaved (completed then sold)

SUPER MEAT BOY (THE MOST AWESOME XBLA GAME IN EXISTENCE)
and I would have bought Splatterhouse on 360 too but it’s been moved back, i’ve paid for it though so I ‘spose that counts.

Fallout: New Vegas – only £22.99 from Gameplay
Telltale’s Monkey Island series cheap from steam.

Oh, how I loathe thee, CAPTCHA. Arkham Asylum was 66% off on Steam this weekend so I nabbed that. Soon after I’ll be buying me some Amnesia.
report
I bought a lot of steam sales stuff. the only exception being minecraft, but that was way back when quinns did his thing and wooed me.
Titan Quest Gold, Red Faction Guerilla, (if metro2033 appears in the thq sale i will add that to the list), Dogfighter and Left4Dead 1&2 back when it was on sale.
And then i bought Batman: Arkham Asylum. But i can’t for the life of me get it to work. i wonder if i can get a refund on steam if the game just won’t work…

A couple of things from the TF2 store I was able to buy for the minimum £4 I had to put in the Steam wallet
Someone bought me DogFighter
Thinking of getting New Vegas.
report
October, hmmm… let’s see…
Dogfighter – £1.05 on Steam
Jagged Alliance 2 – GOG.com (whenever it was half price, so about £4.99 I think?)
report
This month? I Bought £20 worth of League of Legends fake-o-money, the value I reckon the game is worth.
report
For my sins: Medal of Honor, Gothic IV (which included Gothic 3) and… that’s actually it. I also fathered a fresh offspring so that has had some impact on game time, but that hardly seems like an excuse for such poor choices.
Oh wait, also bought Titan Quest in yesterday’s Steam sale. Already had a boxed copy, mind you, but £2.50 is hard to argue with.
report
Deathspank, Fallout NV, Minecraft and tidalis, I think.
report
Puzzle Pirates (don’t LOOK at me like that), Nimbus, The Ball, Tales of Monkey Island, Left 4 Dead/Left 4 Dead 2.
report
WoW subscription (reactivated to look at talent changes)
Arcania Is Not Gothic 4(this game has no soul)
Enslaved PS3 (nice but not super awesome – at least the PS3 got dusted off a bit)
Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY (cause it was on sale and I heard good things – haven’t played it yet)
Alpha Protocol (hidden gem)
And of course still playing Minecraft and looking forward to the Halloween-or-later update.
report
Bayonetta and Fable 3 on the Xbox 360.
Dogfighter (four player pass) on the PC.
I also tried to buy Civ 5 for £2.35 as tipped by SavyGamer, but they ran out of codes.
Oh, and I suppose another month of game time for World of Warcraft counts too.
report
WoW sub and pre-ordered Dragon Age 2 Signature Edition.
Probably would have spent more but a combination of doing stuff away from computer, spending a fair amount on games in the previous couple of months and Cataclysm about to be released has stopped me.
report
Brought Minecraft at the beginning of the month (or perhaps late last month).
Brought Fallout New Vegas via an online store for AU$39. Still waiting for it to arrive though I’ve arranged to play the game using other methods.
Would have purchased via Steam, however the publishers felt fit to charge the full Aussie RRP price rather than the American Dollar price. I don’t see why we should be disadvantaged by a strong Australian doller, so I found a cheaper way to buy the game and Steam has lost out this time round…
report
Just Fallout: New Vegas. Contemplated getting Enslaved, Castlevania and Costume Quest but I decided to hold out and wait for FNV. Costume Quest can be picked up afterwards, Enslaved and Castlevania can drop in price a bit.

New Vegas (Steam) 16 hours in and counting.
Dead Rising 2 (PS3) On case 4, don’t play it much because when I want a quick fix the frequent loading times deter me.
Minecraft – Played the shit out of for a week, now waiting for updates.
Monkey Island 2 (gift on Steam) Finished the first island mainly from guilt since it was a gift.

It’s been a good month for games. So far:

Been a bit of a gluttoness month for me, usually only get 1 game a month, but this month got:
1. Amnesia: Dark Descent (Absolutely brilliant).
2. FIFA 11 (on PC) as I have a crack-like addiction to footie games.
3. and Civilization 5. (which despite all the hub-ub seems very similar to all the other Civs)
4. oh, and if the new Monkey Island 2 was on sale on steam this month I got that too, but that might have been September. Usually my gaming money is spent on steam sales.
Despite all these purchases I have mostly been playing STALKER: Call of Pripyat after buying it in the last big steam sale and only just getting round to playing it. That is also awesomes.
As some sort of glutton karma my PSU blew this morning, in the middle of a week’s annual leave that was the perfect oppurtunity to catch up with some of my purchases, so no gaming for me until the replacement is delivered :(
Might have to reinstall Spelunky on my laptop to see me through.

CitiesXL: Steam cheapie. Kind of regret it. I love city building games. And this is certainly pretty. But the interface is a proper hairy arse, and it gives you very little details about why your economy is crashing… Here’s holding out that the discount it gives me on the 2011 edition is worth it…
Batman Arkham Asylum Goatee edition: Steam sale
(I had got the game originally whilst in Kyiv last year – it was a bootleg. This was a) because I bloody enjoyed the game and so monetary exchange with the actual games makers seemed appropriate and b) for the extra tidbits the GOTY edition comes with. Oh, and as saves don’t move across, an excuse to play it again)
Civ V: I couldn’t wait for it to be cheaper like I normally do.
Burnout Paradise. Super cheap from a local games shop. Probably the best impulse game buy for a long time. Excellent game.
Minecraft. Obv.
Does DLC count? I got the TF2 polycount pack.
Initially, I was very wary about the whole TF2 items for cash thing. Then I wondered why I had got a ‘grizzled veteran’ badge from 2007, when I’ve only been playing it for about 2 years. And I remembered I got it from the Orange box. Which I bought solely for the Half Life episode. Given I’ve played almost 200 hours of TF2 over the past 2 years; for a game that was basically bundled free with another game in my eyes, I thought some monetary exchange was ok in this instance. I don’t intend to spend a penny more though. Microtransactions make me feel dirty. One off, rare buys of bulk packs seems ok.

Well, let’s see…
Dead Rising 2 (Steam).
Nice while I played it initially. I left it alone for about a week and fell out of love with it so very quickly. Now I regret buying it at full price.
Minecraft.
It seemed inevitable that I would get it sooner or later, so yeah. I haven’t really played it, though. I’ve just popped in to see what the fuss was about.
Dog Fighter (Steam).
Because you told me to!
Temple of Elemental Evil (GOG).
Never played this back in the day and thanks to GOG, it wont rape my computer now.
Age of Wonders 2 (GOG).
The AoW series is one that has completely passed me by and I have no idea why. If it wasn’t for GOG, I still wouldn’t know about these games.
Guild Wars: Eye of the North (Steam).
Hey, it was on sale and it was the only GW expansion I was missing.
Guild Wars: Shining Blade Uniform (DLC).
Purely cosmetic, because my main looked like crap.
I haven’t bought a boxed PC game in over a year, probably close to two, and my Xbox hasn’t been turned on for months.
report
Hmm, forgot all about these…
Borderlands DLC: Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution (Steam).
I have the previous DLC and like the game, so…
MTG – Duels of the Planewalkers DLC (Steam).
I bought (or unlocked) like five or six decks for this. I can’t remember which ones exactly.
Hipstamatic (iPhone).
Not a game, but a hip little photo app for the iPhone that I’m utterly in love with. I bought all the add-ons too.

Hmm now real games? I actually haven’t bought anything recently. Am waiting on Super Meat Boy truth be told. And portal 2. And if I want to look out further, Diablo 3.
All while resisting the urge to start playing WoW again. I just started smoking again, maybe thats a bad sign?

I believe my only purchase this month was Halo: Reach (shopto.net offer on the version with Halsey’s journal).

re: Demon’s Soul: Are they kidding?! According to a press-release, they are “proud to keep the servers up till March 2011″? I mean, I know that the console world is another universe altogether, but is it really that exceptional to keep a game running even one year after it has had its (pretty succesful) launch (at least in the Western world)? I want it on PC. I so want it on PC.
Damn, still planning to buy a PS3, and mostly for this game, so I have to hurry up, it seems… thanks for mentioning it here, though.
PS Can you play the Asian version without much problem in these parts of the world? (That would be Europe…)
report
I’m from Brazil actually, but I think the chinese copy with english text works for anyone. I use an european account to play it ( because my country has almost no PSN support ‘-.- ) and haven’t had any problems so far, and at least half a dozen friends are playing with me on the asian servers, normally.
And the servers closing really suck, I can’t even get some money back by selling my american copy ’cause no one wants to get it with limited multiplayer time =(

However, it was a higly unlikely month for me – two full-prize new releases is what I did buy in the rest of the year combined, actually (all the other games I bought – and there were a lot of them – were bargain purchases, older games on various channels – ebay, among others – and less expensive download titles).

I usually only buy physical media (because I don’t want a credit card).
I splurged on the last-year UE3-engine games when the local Helsinki department stores had sales.
So I bought the following:
Mass Effect 2 (Quite nice).
Borderlands (Mostly nice. Lovely headshots. Really need to get a sibling/friend to get it too. Shame I didn’t know about the “GOTY”-edition).
Batman: Arkham Asylum (Splendid biff-collect’em-up platforming).
+1 to the “living with girlfriend/studying/working limiting a good amount of gaming”.

But that doesn’t mean I’m not diverse! I play Real-time/turn-based games too. Eufloria, Civ4:BTS, Anno 1404: Venice and EU3+exps are receiving equal attention. Sid Meier’s Pirates (the remake) for coffee-break streaks. Online-wise TF2, Trackmania Nations, Red Orchestra, and the Forgotten Hope 2 mod for BF2 are getting plenty of play.
I’m also looking longingly at Sam and Max Seasons 2&3, the Left4Deads, Assassin’s Creed 2 and GTAIV: Episodes, and the impending final (really, they mean it!) EU3-improvo-expansion… but they’ll have to wait until I clear out some playthroughs on these aforementioned UE3-engine games.

I’ve challenged myself to an all-indie game diet for a little while, due to both budget constraints and wanting to stop myself buying Game-I’ve-Already-Played-But-With-A-Higher-Number-In-The-Title-This-Time knee-jerk for fifty or sixty bucks and holding out on cheaper, niftier looking game simply because it’s less flashy and less familiar.
October is usually a down month for game purchases for me because I have a birthday in November and I try to let other people buy games for me, but I did buy
Minecraft
Some Xbox Live points for spending on XBLI games, of which I’ve so far only purchased Breath of Death VII, which I frankly didn’t like very much.
And yeah, it’s a lousy exception to my self-imposed indie rule, but the WoW sub is still going. It’s pretty much the only game my wife and I play together reliably (which is not to shift blame to the wife–we both enjoy it, otherwise we wouldn’t play together so much–but only to say, quitting WoW is one of those mutual decisions we need to make as partners, not because one of us decided to go all hipster in her game purchases.)
I’ve been eying Amnesia on sale on Impulse & Gamers Gate, so I may end up buying that this month still, but I may wait for after the birthday.
report
Whoa, the only thing I’ve bought (except for Blackadder Remastered – The Ultimate Edition DVD) game wise is A Shadow’s Tale for the Wii. There’s some things on Steam that I will buy but just haven’t. Seems like I have survived on Indie games this month.

I bought the crocodile sniper bundle on Team Fortress even though I could have crafted most of it. I just wanted to get some money to the modder. I also ended up buying two Mann Co keys for some crates I found. I got an equalizer (sigh) and a crash helmet for the demoman (yay!)
What I didn’t get was Fallout: New Vegas even though I set money aside from it. It sounds like a bug disaster.
Incidentally, I was all set to blow money on Fallout and Elemental but the horrible state of both games stopped me.
report
Re: FONV, YMMV, but aside from the clunky old engine and standard bugs one saw in FO3 (stuck mobs, etc.) I’ve found it perfectly playable and free of major gamebreaking bugs on my PC. I even left it up and running after staying up way too late playing it, rushed off to work, returned to it and kept on going without any adverse effects at all. One crash so far in 36 hours and I think that was related to an unfortunate tilde keystroke during a frantic buttonmash.
And the game itself is, IMO, fantastic. Easily one of my favorite — if not my favorite — titles this year.

I bought Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love for the Wii, about 30 bucks new. Haven’t cracked it open just yet,as I’m still working through my ridiculous backlog of old and obscure titles, but I’m happy enough having given my money to the people who brought over a game about steampunk robots in 1930s New York City.

* Subscription to City of Heroes and Champions Online.
* Fallout: New Vegas, which I’d pre-ordered as soon as it was available.

I was waiting — patiently — until both I had more free time and its price reached a more acceptable range (still think that Blizz is becoming a crazy megalomaniac).
I bought the game for the launch price and have played 10 matches on BNet, and nothing of the campaign. Ugh!

Also good chance of being tempted by and crazy bargains in the current Steam sale

Nothing. I kinda want (warning FILTHY CONSOLE GAMES AHEAD) Super Scribblenauts and Taiko Drum Master but my birthday is ocming up and we just bought a house and whatnot.
Mostly this month I have been playing Sacred 2, but with my lazily asskicking Capricious Hunter dryad falling victim to a quest bug in the most annoying area of the campaign (the endless mazelike underground tunnels that begin under Seraphim Island) I’ve lost my taste for it.
So I went back to Titan Quest, aka Bowling For Satyrs While Wearing No Trousers, pretending that it’s Diablo III.

Excitebots w/wheel and Wii Music on clearance + coupons
Also got a deal on xbox points, so picked up Super Meat Boy, Scott Pilgrim, and some Rock Band tracks.

I think that’s everything… Man! I really didn’t think I’d bought a lot of games this month.
report
(all on Steam)
Men of War Gold Edition $8.74
Monkey Island Complete Pack $4.99
Steam Wallet $25 (for TF2 items, not worth it at all in retrospect) $25
The Polynomial $9.99
Fallout New Vegas $49.99
The Ball $17.99
2K Baseball Bundle $2.99
So the total is about $120 USD. Only regret is spending any money on TF2 because it’s a complete numbers game with the drops, crafting and boxes. The people who go through 5 pages of items a day will get the good stuff, the people like me who only have 3 pages of items after playing the game on and off since release will get crap. The Polynomial I probably wouldn’t have considered if it weren’t for the RPS review, and that was quite enjoyable! Same as The Ball.
report
I bought 2 games this month, Planescape: Torment (£6.99) and Wizardry 8 (£2.99), both immaculate original boxed copies from my local Oxfam.
I already had an original of Planescape, as part of a box-set with Baldur’s Gate and Fallout 2, but it’s in storage in London and I wasn’t able to get it running on Windows 7 last I tried. Anyway, got it working this time. Wizardry 8 was easier to get up and running, although I had to download a no-CD crack, as the game simply wouldn’t recognise the CD in the drive. Both are a wee bit flaky and occasionally crash, but they work.
Wizardry 8, incidentally, starts magnificently. The lengthy opening section in the Monastery is about as good as computer games get. It can drag a bit once you’re out in the open and have to fight pretty much continuously, but the combat is fantastic and even though I’ve put a lot of hours in, I get the impression I’m a long, long way from completing it.

Men of War (thanks to RPS)
Batman: AA GOTY (already played a borrowed copy on PS3, but on sale so what the heck)
Dogfighter (again, thanks to RPS)
Telltale:
Sam & Max Seasons 1 & 3
Free DVDs (+S&H) for Tales of Monkey Island and all Sam & Max Season seasons (bought TOMI and S&M S2 last month)
After I took the plunge on Batman:AA GOTY, I also picked up an Xbox 360 wired controller for the PC thanks to a $20 off Amazon code from a previous pre-order.
Depending what the rest of the THQ Steam sales this week look like, I might pick up some subset of Dawn of War and/or Metro 2033 if they’re cheap enough.

I just broke down and bought a console after years of heartache with connectivity and coop with my constant online coop partner, so I’m stocking the library. Crappier graphics aside, there is sadly something clean and efficient about them, and the ease of connectivity and generally more reliable quality from a closed, networked system is just short of a revelation.
That said, I still vastly and counterintuitively prefer the depth and craft (in the art, not the tech) one can find in PC titles. I’m an RPG and RTS guy primarily and I just don’t see consoles ever being able to do those genres well. Also those controllers make my thumb hurt.

Fallout: New Vegas \ Fallout 3: GOTY – PC, £34 together in the Savy Gamer deal.
I only got the Fallouts because of the deal as I’m currently going through Metro 2033 which I got during the last Steam sale. Takes me a while to get through things these days. Having said that I’m already 90% through the main game in Super Meat Boy and it is awesome (albeit hard).

Erm… PC & Console?

Wow listing them like that…. IN ONE MONTH. Ridiculous. Need to stop.
report
Super Smash Bros. Brawl, $25 used, will be returning because it won’t boot.
…aaand that’s it. Instead, I’ve been playing the FREE games in IFComp 2010! I’m still hoping for a Super Meat Boy Wii release.
report
A quiet month for me. I bought Fallout: NV through Steam, and I renewed my WoW subscription for another month and bought Lil’ KT from the Blizzard Store.
report
Hmm, I bought more than I realised this month.
PC –
Guild Wars: Eye of the North (on Steam)
Temple of Elemental Evil (on GoG)
360 –
Fallout New Vegas
XBLA -
Lair of the Shadow Broker (DLC for Mass Effect 2)
Costume Quest
A few tracks for Rock Band
report
Then today I caved and ordered Rock Band 3, so October just got quite a bit more expensive.

report
The King’s Bounty Platinum Edition when it was cheap on GetGames ~£11. Batman: Arkham Asylum GOATEE, cheap on Steam, ~£10. Both PC. I also bought a Wireless XBox 360 Controller for Windows @$40, which was a bit of a rip-off, but I’m going to try and appreciate it.
report
As if $40 wasn’t bad enough… It was actually £40.
report
In October I bought the following games:
PC:
Star Sentinel Tactics (Impulse)
Supreme Commander 2
Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition (preorder from Play.com)
PS3:
Fallout – New Vegas
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (PSN)
report
Minecraft. Dogfighter. WoW subscription.
report
Red Dead Redemption $40 at BullMoose.
report
I just realized I pretty much made it a whole month without shelling out games for the game budget… This is shocking. I’m usually not very strong willed and those Steam Sales get me every time.
Yesterday though I did do some buying:
DogFighter (Steam Sale, 85% off, $1.50)
Amnesia: Dark Descent (wife, having watched the Penumbra games approved when I told her there was a 50% off sale on Impulse this week so got that yesterday too and put in about two hours before she was scared enough watching to call it a night)
report
Sorry, got Amnesia via Impulse for 50% ($10)
Total spent for the month: $11.50 (possible a record low)
report
And I caved and just got AI War for $10 off of Impulse (would have preferred Steam, but my work firewall blocks it, and this is something I could actually play on my lunch breaks)
report
Batman: Arkyhm Asylam and Titan Quest + Expansion.

Planescape Torment from GOG.

Everyday Genius: SquareLogic, Disciples II Gold and Dogfighter on Steam sales
Tidalis full price to support Arcen

So lots of games, but not too much cash
report
Minecraft + convinced a friend to buy it too
Civilization 5 -Bought it because I had a lot of gift cards/coupons for Best Buy (over here in the States)
report
PC Games only. I had quite the expensive month of October when it came to purchases. I bought Fallout NV, Civilization 5, and Minecraft.
report
I just got No More Heroes 2 from Zavvi
report
Puzzle Quest (sale)
Fallout New Vegas (Quinns made me buy it)
report
I spent $17.50 so far on Keys for TF2. I am deeply ashamed.
I received a copy of Recettear as a gift from a friend, does that count? c.c
I bought into the Minecraft alpha, $15 there.
But a very slow month for purchases; been too broke to do any more.

I bought way too much.

report
Arcanum
Blade Kitten
Dark Void Zero
Duke Nukem 3D
Painkiller
Sol Survivor
And that new Killing Floor skin pack.
report
I’m not sure when I bought MineCraft. That was either late September or early October. It was maybe a week before the huge explosion. I also had an Amazon Gift Certificate at the very end of September that I may have waited until October to spend on Valkyria Chronicles 2 (PSP) and Sup Com 2. I believe Civ V was a September purchase.
report
-Minecraft.
-All of Killing Floor DLC (I didn’t buy KF in October)
-Dogfighter

Let’s see..
Temple of Elemental Evil (GOG)

report
Dead Rising 2 and Fallout New Vegas on PC, Deathspank: Thongs of Virtue on PSN, Duke Nukem 3d on GOG.
report
Fallout 3: New Vegas!
report
Vanquish on the PS3
report
Hmm, I think just some deals due to my lack of funds:
Tales of Monkey Island: Chapters 1-5
Dogfighter
Tried to get that Civ5 craziness but just got an apology/refund email back from them
Oh, actually I spent a full £30!!!! on RUSE
…And this Metro 2033 offer on Steam today is looking quite tempting too…
report
Dead Rising 2 on Steam. I already have all the THQ titles I care about, so the Steam sale isn’t interesting me at all. I did, however, finally try out the Tropico 3 demo, and I’m seriously thinking about picking it up via Steam. I had so much darn fun in that game, and I can’t believe I’ve missed out on it for so long!!!
I thought about getting Batman: Arkham Asylum during the Steam sales, but I decided not to. Glad I didn’t, too, as I heard from a few pals later that it was very repetitive and got old real quick.
report
Just one: Syberia on GoG during the sale this past weekend. It’s not as if I have a lack of games to play, or any time at all to play them, but for some reason owning it appealed to me. Would the money have been better spent on a title from some excellent but struggling indie dev? Probably, but that wasn’t what captured my imagination.
I generally don’t buy games if I have more than one or two I haven’t played yet, either.
report
All my game purchases are for PC, but October has been small on the game purchases:
Metro 2033
I finally got around to downloading Amnesia last night, but I had pre-ordered it months ago, so whether that counts is up to the RPS hive mind I suppose.
report
Men of War at 3EUR. Because Jim ordered me to do it.
report
Civ V and Fallout: NV.
report
Fallout: New Vegas (PC)
Lara Croft: Guardian of Light (XBox)
Lord of the Rings Online subscription
Quiet month for me, games wise, since I moved house and didn’t have much spare cash. And with summer just getting underway here, staying in playing games isn’t such a priority at the moment.
report
A friend bought Batman Goatee edition when it was on Steam ultra-sale for me before I had a chance to do it for myself.
Annnnnd…. that’s it, actually. I’ll probably grab Kirby’s Epic Yarn on Wii, though, before the month is out.
report
I bought a few when I was in Japan in September, but if it’s only the month of October, I think it comes down to just the following:
Planescape: Torment (GOG, $10)
Syberia (GOG, $5 on sale)
Men of War Gold Edition (Steam, $9 on sale)
The Ball (Steam, $20), last night, thanks to stupid RPS covering stuff like this
Total cost of the above: About $45
Cost of one brand-new AAA game: Typically $50-60
Number of the above I have played even a little of: 0
Number of the above I have even installed: 0
(Cost of a single album-length music CD in Japan: $35, seriously, what the hell)
report
Fallout New Vegas, Quinns is full of it.
report
Fallout: New Vegas
Men of War
Dogfighter
report
October? (Looks through mailbox, and thinks a bit.) Hmm. It looks as if I haven’t spent any money on games at all this month. I blame this on a lack of free time.
report
Full Price: Fallout: New Vegas and Final Fantasy XIV.
Discounted: Batman: Arkham Asylum and (if I could afford it) Metro 2033.
report
Having scraped together the necessary $13, Metro 2033 is a done deal.
The Steam weekend sale isn’t over yet, we’ll see what else they surprise me with. Crossing my fingers for Dead Rising 2 at ~$13.
report
MineCraft ! And Sam and Max Season 3 (10€, on Sale).
report
Super Mario Galaxy, second hand, for Wii.
Independence War Deluxe, from GOG
AI War from Steam (about 5 minutes after reading about v4)
report
independance war 1 and 2 (coinciding with nvidia releasing a patch to make dx7/8 games play better) from GOG
and 2 secret saxtons… do they count? :P
and an RPS subscription
report
Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor for iPhone (it was on sale for 59p a few weeks ago — YOINK)
Magic the Gathering: DotP + expansions (but not the unlocks) when it was on sale on Steam at the start of the month.
DJ Hero 2 for 360 (I ordered what purported to be the game + 2 turntables pack for £35 — clearly a misprice but I was optimistic. Alas, it was not to be and they sent me just the game, which I’ll be returning)
12 months Xbox Live Gold subscription + CODBLOPS t-shirt (another misprice — £2.99 — but sadly HMV cancelled)
Civ V (YET ANOTHER misprice and another cancellation, but fair play to Coolshop for giving me £3 to spend with them by way of compensation)
Rock Band 3 for 360 (ordered from hmv.com in order to get the pre-order DLC, and I’ll be downloading the free-for-a-week Doors DLC too) — I’ll wait a while before buying the keyboard controller though.
I’ll almost certainly be buying some Xbox Live points before the end of the month to get Super Meat Boy while it’s cheap and in order to catch up with some of the RB DLC I’ve missed over the last few months. Microsoft’s “spend 2400 points in October and get 800 points for free” offer is an added bonus.
report
Nothing at all, enjoying myself with the new Project Reality 0.95!
report
I pre-ordered Fallout: New Vegas @ Steam. Also purchased Batman: Arkham Asylum (GOTYE).
Tex Murphy, Syberia, Myst: Masterpiece Edition, Jagged Alliance 2, Longest Journey, Arcanum, Outcast, Alone in the Dark, Syberia 2, Amerzone, & Still Life @ GOG.

Sam & Max: Season One, Sam & Max: Season 2 & Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People @ Telltale.
Those are the games I can find receipts for in my email account, which is probably the lot, I generally don’t delete my emailed receipts.
report
You can add Back To The Future (Full series pre-order) and Puzzle Agent @ Telltale to that list.
report
Dogfighter four times (well worth 3 quid to play with your mates) and Kings Bounty Crossworlds

Looking at my receipts, it looks like it’s been an all-GoG month:
Incredible Machine Pack
The Longest Journey
Outcast
Master of Magic
All motivated by sales… I’ve already played half of those and don’t know when I’ll actually be playing any of them. :)

Demigod from Impulse. $6
Baldur’s Gate, Arcanum, and Planescape Torment from Good Old Games. $23
Cut the Rope, Peggle, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, and NHL 2K11 from iTunes. $5
All on some type of discount except Cut the Rope (I think).
report
I got New Vegas unlocked, but I had it pre-ordered a while ago so it might not count.
I did shell out cash for the first Fallout at GoG (for myself, to play at work), and bought Air Forte, Puzzle Bots, Drawn: The Painted Tower and the Tales of Monkey Island series for the little lady.
report
Medal of Honor
F1 2010
Puzzle Dimension
Metro 2033
Dogfighter ‘cos Jim told me to.
And Lair of the Shadow Broker which was the best ME2 DLC by miles

New Vegas, and I don’t regret it for a second. It’s everything Fallout 3 should have been.
report
Minecraft (finally decided to buy it, after spending too much time in the free mode)
And preordered Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Haven’t bought anything else really, because everything I’m really looking forward to seem to have been pushed up to 2011. :(
report
Kirby’s Epic Yarn, and, um, er, Pokemon Soul Silver.
report
Batman (Steam), both versions of Lips (360, I wanted new mics for Rock Band 3!), Dogfighter (Steam), The Longest Journey (GoG), Outcast (GoG), Syberia (GoG), Arcanum (GoG) and some others I forget and will remember after I enter the captcha. :)
Also, I bought two games for my Android phone, if that counts! Fruit Ninja and Reckless Driving.
report
Well, I’m unemployed at the moment, so I’ve cut down on my spending quite a bit. Nothing bought on Steam this month; sales haven’t appealed, and the holiday sale’s starting to cast its long shadow.
GoG, though…couldn’t resist a couple of sales and their new D&D additions. This month I’ve picked up Icewind Dale Complete, Still Life, Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare, Blood, and Blood II: The Chosen. Those were all on sale except Icewind Dale. Even when I was employed, I always wait for sales. ‘Cos I’m cheap, and my backlog’s massive as it is.
I buy retail/non-digital pretty rarely these days. Steam’s sales FTW, and quite literally the only electronics retailers in town are GameStop and Best Buy–GameStop doesn’t cater to PC gamers very much, at least not around here, and every time I go into Best Buy I see titles I can get for $10 – $20 cheaper on Steam. I buy games from Amazon occasionally, usually when I’m ordering something else and they’re a decent enough price–haven’t bought from them in a few months, though.

I am going through a “not spending money” phase so I did not buy anything….
….except Minecraft, since my guilt for not giving Notch my money while continuing to play offline single player from the free weekend overtook me.
report
Sam & Max 203: Night of the Raving Dead (free, does that count?), Dogfighter 4-pack, Total Annihilation. That’s it for October. Which is kind of odd, as I usually get more than that. Either the sales weren’t as good, or my trying not to spend money is actually working.

Sword of the Stars Complete, some transport tycoon game, Evachron Mercenary, Left4Dead 1/2, Arcanum (Even though I have the CD somewhere) that’s all I remember.

All but two are on either steam or GOG.
Based on steams records I have played for about 10hrs during the last month

I haven’t made much in the way of purchases. Not had much time to play and also been waiting for the aussie dollar to hit parity with the US to use as an excuse.
I bought:
Minecraft
TF2:
- Gunboats
- Dueling Mini-Game
- The Tank Buster
- Rocket Jumper
- Buff Banner
Have yet to try the Dueling Mini-Game though.

Axel & Pixel
Big Brain Wolf
Deathspank (with Shank, as a bundle)
Diamond Dan
Doc Clock
Fallout 3
Lego Universe
Nimbus
Shank
The Ball
Then I bought the Dogfighter four-pack and gifted three copies. After playing I tried to buy the four pack again and it refused because I already own the game. Apparently it’s a Steam issue…
And no, I generally don’t splurge like that unless there’s a mega-sale going on. It just happens that my birthday was on the second of this month and I had some “yay I’m older” cash to spend.
