Game recommendations?

Deformat · Defense Minister **Joined**: 17 Sep 2007

I've got my 3-week holiday, and realized that I'd be bored as ztype if I'd play Counter-Strike all the time.

So what I'm NOT looking forward:
-WoW
-Sandbox game a la Skyrim/Fallout.
-SC2 (It's a nice game, but can't bother to play it...doesn't have the same magic it used to have, don't know why).
-Neither SC1. #Tongue

What I might be interested playing:
-Magicka (heard it's lots of fun)

Any tips guys?

-I have been really enjoying Natural Selection 2 - It still has some performance issues, but it's a bloody good team game if you've got a mic.

-Magicka is fun I guess.. I haven't really enjoyed it yet, and the vast amount of key tapping has sort of put me off. But the references and jokes (Gram's Workshop, where you can find a Warhammer which is both grim and dark, was a highlight so far) are a lot of fun. It sort of reads like Munchkin.. I spent a lot of time killing NPCs because it was funny. I am a bad person.
Related - Magicka gets a little open-worldy at some points.

-TF2 is wonderful. I love it so much, even with the GOD DAMN ztyping SPIES.

-Get seven friends together and play TAAAAAAAANK in L4D2. One of my favourite things to do.

-You've probably finished Portal 2 by now. But if not, worth your while.

There's a Steam sale on at the moment (surprise!), so I'd have a browse and see what takes your fancy.

Well, Munchkin in tone rather than in gameplay.

Well, it's like a giant parody, just like Munchkin. Everything else isn't related in the slightest (you don't have equipment or special abilities or races/classes ... )
Yet I can recommend it. It's hell a lot of fun - but you have to play it in multiplayer. It gets even more fun when your friend tries a new spell and kills you by chance and such stuff xD

Far Cry 1.
The good Far Cry IMO.

Far Cry 2 multiplayer is fun. Shame it has no ragdoll mechanics. RPG-7 should cause more than a heart attack.

HL2 isn't, but the original HL is. Or Black Mesa: Source.

Hmm maybe metro 2033, it was (maybe it still is) free due to an nvidia giveaway on steam, you just needed to like their facebook page to get it.
Though it's nowhere near a 3 week long game.
Going with mass effect 1, 2 and maybe 3, might help you fill your holidays.

There's Christmas sale on Steam. Go check that out, you might find something you like, at a nice discount.

Warships, an arcade game in SC2 much like empire at war and lots of fun if I may say so just like with all arcade games its kinda hard to find people.

Wargame european escalation is really cheap with the sale and a rather good rts game, tough it could be a lot better, kinda rushed but meh still good stuff.
