I have 400 Steam games ffs. I can't control myself. I physically don't have the time to play what I do have, but damn it I'll end up buying some.

Though I introduced a wishlist rule, where I only buy things that are at least 66% off AND on my wishlist. And only put things I really would like to play on the wishlist.

I'm actually doing the same. Might even go up to 75% unless it's reeeaaally good. 90% off for Deadly Premonition and I've been meaning to pick it up for ages. Even though it is by all accounts an awful awful port.

FFS Steam you're torturing me!

Might finally pick up Max Payne 3 for £5 though. I quite like a mindless shooter.

I quite enjoyed it to be honest, I never actually finished it though. I generally do like dumb Rockstar games, just sheer mind melting entertainment.

They did a study of all steam users and found 30% to 40% of games in users libraries had NEVER been played.

I've got 32 in my pc library
about 20% of them not played

Got all the Batman games like arkham asylum etc.

Goimg to get on them over xmas.

In my defence most of them are from bundles. Often I see a game or two I want in an 8-10 game bundle that still costs less than the individual game (even on sale) and so I buy it. I might get 5 or 6 games I'll never play but if I get the ones I actually want for that price, then it's worth it.

But yeah, they have the sale strategy down. When things are so cheap you feel like it's more expensive not to buy it. Still, I don't regret it. I have about 5 games that cost over a fiver -- the vast majority cost me very little and I've got a huge library of awesome games with me wherever I go (got a powerful laptop).

The main problem is time, really. Gaming is my main hobby but at the moment I only get about 1 hour every 2 days to play games!
 

Tempted to get Alien: isolation. Saw it for £18 in CEX the other day but waiting till the Xbox one digital sales are finished after Xmas in case they do any decent deals. Got power star golf for £7.99 the other day, was going to buy RBI baseball after seeing it on major nelsons blog at 75% off but must be US only as its not on my Xbox deals section

Got that rpg Humble Bundle purely for Forest of Doom. I want a Fighting Fantasy nostalgia trip.

'Halfway' looks decent too, but doubt I'll ever play it.

Consortium is ace as well, defo try that.

Basically Mass Effect without combat. Really intriguing RPG universe where your decisions actually matter. Quite short but it's only part I.
 
Bought Prison Architect on the Steam sale for £4 (80% off) last night (still on sale). Quite a fun game if you're into strategy games like myself, and brilliant for the price.
