Batman Origins is awesome. Hours upon hours of game play, and one of the greatest surprises at the end of a game ever.

Dead Island is a pretty cool zombie game. Takes a minute to get used to it, but it's fun.

Continuing recommendations based on what's for sale day by day...

Farcry 3 is pretty awesome.

FF VII is a gaming legend.

Nether looks interesting.

I own Crysis 2, but haven't played it yet.

I have a couple as well. The steam store told me they were worth approximately $10 each. What do I use them for, and how do I get my ten bones each?

Probably more like $0.40

You have to sign-up for the Steam Market, and sell them there.

I have another #8 now if anyone else wants to trade.

Contagion is $3.74 today and looks fun. Like L4D.

All multi and co-op.

Too bad the Steam store appears to be down.

Today's sale has some good ones.

The Metro series is a favorite of mine. Just finished Last Light this weekend. I love the atmosphere, the story, and the graphics. It's VERY linear, so don't go for the game play. Go for the story.

GTA IV for $5 is a no brainer.

I own Outlast, but haven't played it yet.

Game Dev Tycoon is a simulator and interesting, but I think it's missing...something. For $5 though, it's a good buy for anyone on the fence about it.

Alan Wake at $3 seems right. They can't give away copies, but I've heard it's not horrible, just not great.

Buy Limbo at $2 for the next 6 hours.

Anyone know anything about Rising Storm?

Email from the wife
I just went through our credit card and we have a bunch of charges from Steam. They're charging us money all the time! Did we authorize all those charges?
It's not me, it's someone else.

Total damage: 118.91

$8 of that was for her, though. :)
