Aim for the "Ghost" "Shadow" and "Mostly flesh and steel" achievements in Dishonored in 1 go and you will have a seriously fun challenge.

I went with Euro Truck Simulator. Hard choice. :$

lol that video is great. The last line was just gold too seeing 15% off, Don't buy till it's a daily! haha

I've read Shingeki no Kyojin (the manga that anime comes from), so it was doubly amusing. Well, that is until I saw the misuse of "weight" instead of "wait." :|

Asked before, but are the two dishonered DLC other than knife of dunwall worth it?

The Trials one is if you like trying to beat your own score, it is just a bunch of trails you play over and over to improve on. If you don't like/care about that then no.

The other, no idea, I'm thinking of buying it since it was a bunch of stuff that was preorder things to increase however you want to play the game and it is cheap.

from an older thread when it was on sale:

Thanks but I got knife after that and was asking about the others.

Kaotik, that trials one really does not sound fun, so no go.

That leaves the other one.

I suspect we'll both get it.

Hmmmm...if you had to choose between Dishonored and Max Payne 3 (both about $10), which would you recommend?

Oh, and if you're buying Deus Ex: HR and the DLC, make sure you buy the "Tactical Enhancement + Explosive Mission Bundle" and save an additional 14 cents!

Played both- both are great, but if picking just one, I'd say dishonored.

EDIT:

I just spent the last 1.5 hours playing Reus. Cool game!

You are the planet and control different giants that can do different things. You have a rock/mountain giant who can make mountains that create deserts and he can also create patches of minerals to give wealth to settlers that move into your areas. Forest giant creates forests, fruit, and animals and can increase fertility in areas. Swamp giant for swamps and can create animals and food and other things, and the Ocean giant for oceans, monsoons, and animals. Each giant has like 7 different abilities but only a few are unlocked at the start. You gain more by helping the humans that settle your various areas (forest, swamps, desert) by providing resources they need to complete their projects (granary, shrine, school, etc). When you help them finish one of these projects in the time limit they provide you with an ambassador that rides on your giant. You pick which giant the ambassador will ride on and depending on the giant the ambassador will unlock a new ability for it.

Sometimes the human settlements become to unruly and rage war on another one for whatever reason (resources, hookers, blow, etc) and you can use your giants to destroy their settlement and save the other one if you want.

Pretty neat game, there is a lot of depth to it because everything can be upgraded and building some stuff next to other stuff creates symbiosis which will increase whatever the two things do and can upgrade an item to do more. An example from the tutorial, use you the forest giant to grow fruit, the fruit is blueberries as its base, use the ocean giant to have animals created next to it, they are chickens, now the chickens feed better and you gain more food because of it. Then you can use of the giants fertility/grow abilities to upgrade the blueberries to tomatoes and that increases food production more and gives you some technology as well now.

A lot to it when you have 4 giants and various different things but it is cool. If you dig the whole god genre thing I recommend it.

:awe:

I just came on to recommend the same thing. Just finished the tutorials and my first 'Era' game.

I can already tell this will be a 40+ hour game for me, because I enjoy strategy, and this is completely different than anything I've ever played. I've barely scratched the surface on understanding the different giant actions, let alone how they are different in different biospheres.

$5 is a steal for this game.

Farming Simulator
or
Euro Truck Simulator?

Already own Roller Coaster Tycoon. Looked at both the above, but they are almost too weird to buy.

I picked Euro truck simulator because...driving trucks through Europe sounds...nifty

I voted Skyrim. Benchmarks seem silly to pay for, and the others were already on sale. Also Skyrim is an awesome experience especially the first time through. People really need to see it.



For those who still dont have New Vegas:


You REALLY want all the DLC. Each of them adds cool junk to the regular game so even if you never explore those areas you still have more content.
One of them doesnt add any new areas, just better weapons and ammo.

Also make sure to sign up for a free account at http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/ and at the very minimum get the mod manager, and the script extender.

3DMark is not one of the Community Choice options. It is a Flash Sales deal.

All 3 Community Choice options (Tomb Rider, Skyrim Legendary Edition, Bioshock Infinite) were already on sale.

I voted for Tomb Rider because it would have the biggest discount -75% (and that is the main point of the Summer Sale, isn't it?)
