Should be Playing - Steam Sale Edition 3

Number 3: Fallout

I’m going to assume we all know what fallout 3 is and why it’s fantastic. Even if you don’t there isn’t a lot that needs to be said; open world first person RPG with a great story to drive you forward. Skyrim with guns. But given it’s a franchise sale, use this opportunity to take a look at Fallout 2 and brotherhood of steel. One if the fist role playing game where you can win without killing a single enemy or using any combat skills, and the other is a final fantasy tactic like game, if final fantasy was trying to make children cry. A little more “old school” but games no gamer should go without playing.

Number 2: Arma 2

The problem with being the best tier 2 military shooter is that tier 1 is really crowded. Arma lacks the graphics or blockbuster moments you are going to get in call of duty or battlefield, but replaces them with a ultra realistic engine which is constantly updated with things like belletristic data and material penetration algorithms. You can kill people with bullet fragmentation off hard objects or ricochet off softer ones. Add to that a extremely active mod community and you find a hidden gem for anyone who likes to shot things with guns.

Number 1: Portal 2

When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”
