I'm not too sure what to buy, I've never heard about half of the games on Steam. Being new to PC gaming, what would you guys recommend? I just purchased Fallout: New Vegas and the expansions and I loved it on the 360 (Didn't finish it though).
Here's my game list:
Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis
ArmA 2 Combined Operations /w BAF & PMC
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 /w Vietnam
Grand Theft Auto IV /w EFLC
Killing Floor /w DA2 Mod (Thanks to madindehead
)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat
Total War: SHOGUN 2
Any suggestions? I'm open to anything.

Should keep an eye on the other digital providers like gamersgate... I got Civ 5 for £6.78 a few days ago during a sale
GOG is pretty cool too.. if you ain't heard of them they basically take older games and reboot/make them work on more recent operating systems i.e. win7.. which personally I like cause I'd rather pay £3 for the game to work than spend 1-2 hours crawling the web (especially with the risk of third party fixes)
They got access to some of EA's back stuff (BULLFROG!) and already got dungeon keeper up there
Just waiting on them to do dk2 and the "theme" games
@ Missle
Not reconizing a title shouldn't put you off, it usually means you've simply had less exposure to it.. not all the developers are big ones
For example I paid £2 for defense grid and a while back £5 for cnc4. The difference between these 2 games is millions of pounds in development and advertising yet I feel if I'd had to pay £10 for defense grid, I'd still had been happy with what i got, in comparison to paying the retail cost of around £15-20 for cnc4.. which by the way I would discourage people from
If you want a decent cnc game thats recent just go with cnc3 + the add on

.... well i'm not buying for the sake of buying
True.... Sensible tactics are only to have 6 months of games at a time queued.
Other games would then be cheaper by the next sale, and the next sale and so on...
Why I've avoided The Witcher 2, Portal 2 etc....

Bought BFBC2 as part of my long list, but can't really get into it.
Dungeon Keeper 2 would be an instant buy from me on GOG. I have installed the 2nd one many a time and always run into problems about 50% into the game. Or to play the game stable I cannot raise the resolution above 800x600.
I bought the Frozen Synapse pack (which includes 2 games) - that means i have 1 i need to sell!
I can sell the spare i have at £4.75 (exactly half price) through PayPal, hit me up on the steam at http://steamcommunity.com/id/add1ct3d or through Trust here

There's a thread stickied with the rules about at the top this forum.
You have to do it through the MM.

I hope so, i just bought fallout new vegas and the dlc and really would like to see fallout 3 goty in the sale for a lower price
Why can't you get into it?
Just give it him some time mate, very good game with plenty of weapon upgrades as you progress through the ranks.
Quake 3/team arena multiplayer must be dead by now with Quake Live being free, I would have thought.
Also pretty sure Quake 4 isn't included in the Quake pack.
Can't you use a direct card purchase or just link PP to your debit/credit card?
And yes, FO:NV is a steal at that price. I've brought the DLC blind assuming it's as good at the DLC for FO3, hell its £2, bargin.
Yeah you can... if you want to run the risk of Paypal deciding in its infinite wisdom to randomly issue a charge-back which leaves steam with no choice but to permanently ban your account, forcing you to jump through hoops to get Paypal to admit it did it without your consent so Steam will re-open it.
In other words, don't use Paypal for Steam purchases...

never had that problem even after hundreds and hundreds of paypal transactions
Perhaps not but its an unnecessary risk. Doesn't really explain why you don't just use a debit card
