Recommendations? I'm looking for a good single player campaign - can be any game from the last 5-6 years that I may have missed. The games I have enjoyed the most over the past few years are:

The new Tomb Raiders
All the Bioshock games
Resident Evil 4,5,6
Rage
Darksiders
Far Cry 3,4
Dead Island

Any classic action/adventure time games I've missed not listed above?

Ha ha. Sweet. I'm a huge fan of cult horror movies but amazingly never got round to seeing the Leprechaun films. Which one is considered to be the best, or should I say 'worst'?

Thanks all for the suggestions. I have Shadow of Mordor, Arkham City & Wolfenstien: The Old blood already. Dying Light is out of the price range this time around. I played Witcher 2 up until I got to shag the elf then kinda gave up on it - found the combat system and menu systems annoying and never quite got to grips with them. Have they changed much for Witcher 3?

I've ended up buying PainKiller: Hell & Damnation and the complete F.E.A.R package with is £8.99 for all 3 + DLCs today only on Steam.

I just tried to get Crysis 3 for G2A but I always have issues checking out on that site - this is the second time in a row I haven't been able to pay for what I want?...

I really fancy Life is Strange but think I'll wait to pay day and buy all the episodes...

Thanks again all for your input.

Shadow of Mordor? Heard it's a bit like Tomb Raider mechanically, It's a game i'll buy soon I think.

Shadow of Mordor is great game and is reduced on Steam right now. It looks stunning and stabbing an orc through the face never tires. Although it's much closer to the Assassin's Creed games with Batman style combat than Tomb raider.

How on earth did you enjoy RE6? that game was abysmal.

lol. yeah it was a bit awkward to get to grips with, some of the camera angles were terrible and the 'Chris' campaign with the 'zombies' with guns was a bit boring but there is just something about the story, cheesy voice overs and presentation that I'm a sucker for. I love the way these types of games make you feel like your 'playing a movie'. The naked bird's metamorphasis into a she-bitch monster zombie thing in Leon's campaign was epic! :cool:

BioShock Infinite might be £20 or so now...

Yeah I've got. Love that game so much - I think it's the only game I've played completely through twice. Amazing story!

I've actually not got round to seeing them despite having similar interests in bad films. I think the one set in space has the Leprechaun emerging from..er..somewhere bad.

lol sounds delightful! Actually the whole premise of a 'Leprechaun in Space' kinda guarantees that I would really enjoy this movie! Must check it out...

You don't need much more to get this...

Honestly, the only thing stopping me from being seriously interested in VR is that at the moment, from my family and partner's point of view, it's bad enough that I spend every spare minute I get sat at the computer and playing games - but adding headphones and blindfolding me just seems a step to far removed from everyone else. I would personally love it but not sure my relationship is strong enough for VR!!

Out of interest, have you watched much MST3K or RiffTrax?

Have to admit I'd never heard of those although I've just checked out their websites and it does look right up my street - I'll be looking out for them in future so thanks for bringing them to my attention.

My history with cult movies comes more from horror - I started trying to collect all the movies from the 80's banned video nasty list around 10 years ago. Also love the movies put out by 'Shameless'. You have to checkout 'Ratman'!

I also would recommend going on Ebay, many CD Keys for steam are cheap as hell there.
OP: I don't know if you played it but Mafia 2 has a good single player as well as Remember Me, The Witcher 1 & 2 and all those games you can get basically for pennies if you look on the Ebay for a CD Keys.

BTW a little off-topic: I still don't understand how Steam can keep the same price in 2016 of a game which was originally released in 2009 ...

That's their pricing/business model though isn't it - keep usual prices relatively high so that they can do the massive discounts in their flash sales. It works.

Amazing when you get a bargain but annoying when you've been waiting for a game to drop in price and 3 years pass and it still hasn't ala Castlevania 2 which is still £24.99!

Yeah I have Fallout 4 already. Love the exploration.
