Haven't done any gaming for around 12 years, what have I missed? Are there any classics over the last decade that are now really cheap?

Looks good - maybe worth waiting for the 'next generation' refresh next year though?

I'm going through a bit of a first person phase at the moment so here are a few to get you started. They're all high quality titles so you can't go wrong, especially at these prices.

Wolfenstein: New Order - £4
Wolfenstein: The New Colossus - £7
Doom: 2016 - £4
Dishonoured - £3
Dishonoured 2 - £4
Prey - £6
Bioshock Collection - £6
Alien Isolation - £6 (Too scary for me)

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention the specific site or link them but I found all of these on a CD key site. All of which can be activated through Steam.

Wow, but hang on, I'm a complete nube here, how are their different prices for the same game through Steam? How does Good Old Games compare to Steam? Can anyone provide a decent explanation on how to buy games these days? Last game I bought came on a CD from Electronic Boutique!

As for buying games, to add to what some others have said, some places are a bit iffy, I'd say G2A and Kinguin (they're kinda like ebay for game codes) will come under this category. Though I've bought games from both and been fine. Some places are in a grey area like CDKeys - I don't think they are authorised resellers of the games they sell. Again I've bought from them and been fine. Then you have places like Green Man Gaming, GamersGate, WinGameStore which, AFAIK, are authorised resellers. IMHO the best place to look is https://isthereanydeal.com/ as, again AFAIK, it lists the reliable end of the game selling companies. Also shows deals on the sites, though it's still best to check the actual website.

Thanks, that's really interesting - but what a mess! Looking on 'Is There Any Deal' show's lots of places with stuff cheaper than Steam - even though it says delivery 'Steam Key'.
Is there ANY difference between buying directly through Steam and buying a Steam Key through a third party like GAMESPLANET?

what kind of games do you like?

Yes, that's a key question! I guess I'm more in the fast paced shooters and racing/simulation, less into plot driven/adventure games. But up for trying anything.
Games I've really enjoyed in the (distant) past: Wing Commander / X-Wing stuff, Quake/Doom/UT, Forza, CoD 1/2, Half Life, Starcraft, Warcraft II etc
