I’ve bought way too many PC video games over the past year. Unfortunately, I have little to no time to play them. Most were bought from Steam, which makes it way too easy to buy games,especially with all the deals and specials they have. A partial list:
- Torchlight – A Diablo clone. Picked it up last Christmas during the Steam sale. Good game. Was meant to be played during lunch as work, but I get too distracted.
- Mass Effect – Put several hours into it. Like it very much and plan to go back to play before starting Mass Effect 2.
- Mass Effect 2 – Bought it real cheap on Steam during the July sale. Haven’t installed it because I want to finish the first one.
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – Enjoyed the first one on Xbox360. Single player on this was alright, but the story was pretty ridiculous. Multiplayer was absolute trash with the glitching and hacking and exploits.
- Left 4 Dead 2. Played less than 2-3 hours. Didn’t finish a single campaign. Not a bad game but it didn’t hold my interest.
- Batman Arkham Asylum – Love it, and would like to finish it. Got to a point where the game crashed at a certain spot each time. Eventually I will go back and fix it and finish it up.
- Fallout 3 – Another cheap one on Steam. Picked it up and did actually finish the main campaign. Started with the expansions. Will go back to it eventually.
- Tropico 3 – Liked the first one, second one went in a different direction and was meh. Three is meant to be like the first. Good, but didn’t hold my interest.
- Alien Swarm – Free game on Steam. Played through a few times.
- Just Cause 1 & 2 – Bought #2. #1 came along for free with Batman Arkham Asylum. #2 is pretty fun. I like playing and wreaking stuff up and causing major mayhem.
- Saint’s Row 2 – Another cheap one. Got good reviews but didn’t hold my interest.
- Battlefield: Bad Company 2 – Good FPS, much better than COD:MW2. Haven’t played it for a while but I will when I want some hot and heavy multiplayer action.
- Starcraft 2 – Barely played the first. Been playing it for the past two months since it was released. My interest is waning but I will still be playing it for some time. I’m perpetually stuck in Bronze League
- Civilization 5 – Picked it up this week. Only played a couple hours so far. Feels slow paced, but I’ll play through more this weekend. The previous incarnations chewed up lots of my game playing time in the past.
- Minecraft – Digital crack. ’Nuff said.
When will I find the time? I have a week off coming up and look forward to knocking a bunch of these out then. Good thing I no longer play World of Warcraft.
