I've only got 9.90 left on my Steam account >.< Gaben not the wallet! Please don't leech my money! Nooooo!! Please Gaben!!!!! NOOOO! *RRRRRIPPP* *wallet tears in half* Him and his Steam sales ...

Gang Beasts, Trine 1 and 2 and I think Borderlands can do local multiplayer on PC. At least those are the games that come to mind (though not sure on Borderlands).

Thanks I'll look into those. Kind of a shame that they're all $20 on steam right now (though Borderlands I wouldn't mind paying for). Surprisingly I don't own that game but I am looking into getting into the series.

@chimera201

Too late. Looks like a nice Indie game. I would get it if it wasn't $20, I'll keep on eye on it to see when it goes on sale.

Just got orange box from steam sale and playing HL2 with the cinematic mod. Pretty awesome game so far.

Only thing I've been playing lately is Destiny on my highly unused PS4. Never really touched it until this game came out. Other than that, I haven't been playing anything on Steam, I'm in my monthly "notsurewhattoplay" mode.

I have been playing both GRID 2 and GRID Autosport.

I have been playing mount and blade warband for awhile (1k+ hours in it) and it never gets boring due tot he sheer amount of mods for it.

enjoy this game a lot, particularly the GoT mod.

Dark Souls 2, Strife, Dishonored, and Heroes of the Storm. Really depends on the genre... tough to pick an overall great game, depends on the mood I'm in.

POKEMON!!!! Seriously, I love the game since I was a lil'boy haha

Recently picked up "To the moon" on Steam. The gameplay isn't exactly that great, but it's a story rich game. I really did cry quite a bit. And even the opening scene and the start menu sends chills up your spine. No wonder it has 10/10 rating on Steam, lol.

 

[Gman450]

I've played 'To The Moon' a while back too. You're right, the gameplay is just straight forward point and click on stuff and move your character here and there, but the story is there to cover all that up. Pretty amazing. I loved the soundtrack for the game.

My favorite game that I have been playing recently is studying for mid-terms.

Anyone playing The Crew? How is it?

The Crew is one of kind racing-mmo-simulator with elements that make the game terrible and utterly enjoyable at the same time.

What killed the experience for me was that the game had no actual point, just driving around with friends and quite not doing anything, battling rival crews and for that, I was disappointed since I expected so much more.

There are good things in the game as well like the map. It's friggin amazing and huge. I love it. The cars - plenty of beautiful and nice - whether you're a muscle-head who likes to drive around with an american or more of the exotic lover - there are plenty of choices.

I found this game to be quite boring and enjoyable at the same time.

EDIT: My all-time favourite has to be The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I spent over 10,000(!) hours playing the game and I enjoyed EVERY minute of it. As for MMORPG's, I suggest Star Citizen for those who love sci-fi and Guild Wars 2 to those who prefer running around with swords.

So far Dragon Age Inquisition is really nice. I'm running the unpatched version I installed from the retail discs. I disabled automatic updates in Origin so that the game does not update itself. And even when it forces me to begin downloading the update, I pause the download and launch the game. But recently I have registered a lot of play hours on Gauntlet. It's a blast to play. So far I have been mastering the Warrior and Elf.

Wow! That equates to roughly six hours per day for 6.8 years straight! And I'm not even sure if you started playing it later

There are different games you can play.Try Assassins Creed IV Black Flag , Crysis 3 , Gta 4 , Sleeping Dogs etc.Try Sleeping Dogs , its fun

 

[Gman450]

I just finished 'StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty'. Very nice game. I found it to be really addicting, and I'm not even into strategy games. The story was awesome. All the characters were very much connected, and they all had roles to play.

My favorite game that I have been playing recently is studying for mid-terms.

I tried that game but i just couldn't continue for more than an hour. It might be free, but the gameplay and story was so bad!

 

[Kris_00]

Looking to get back into gaming, but am VERY focused on single player.
Quake 1-3, Unreal, Portal.

Suggestions for something of this decade? Run and shoot vs RPG. Not into spell casting...

Far Cry 4, it's still a bit buggy (specially on SLI), but the game rocks, I'e been playing it for hours and hours now... its awesome ...

 

[Gman450]

I've got 'Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes' for PC a couple of days ago. It's extremely short, but it's my first ever 'Metal Gear' game and I loved it! The game's ending, IMO, was fantastic and it really helps open up the hype for 'Phantom Pain'.
The optimizing they did with this is just amazing. Even my PC could nearly max out this game, and still maintain solid 40-60 FPS.

I guess there weren't any good games this year Elders Scrolls Online getting on your GOTY list is quite something! Don't mean to insult or offend you in anyway, just saying!

Dragon Age: Inquisition had the potential to win, but I started it so late this year and registered only 5 hours on it so far. But there's always next year.

 

[Thaisnang]

I'll give my GOTY 2014 to Divinity: Original Sin. Never expected Indies to be this fun.
