***The Worth Purchasing Getting Thread***

Deific said:
You should make an Historical Strategy section, seeing as a lot of RTS/TBS games are based on past conflicts. (Total War series, Victoria, Imperial Glory etc)

Also TDU should be freeroam racing, not track.

GTA III
GTA IV
Cryisis Warhead
 
"Best of the best" is going to be quite subjective. Whilst I would agree that Crysis should not be included, I know many people love it and would like to see it make the list. Anyway..

Apologies for the spam nature of this post but here's every game I've played that I have given 8/10 or higher.

i will be looking at this list tonight and adding in games that, are already been requested once & looking for games that i also agree with to make it to the count of 2 :)
 
Plants vs Zombies definatly isn't an Indie game. Its somewhere between Strategy/Pseudo Tower Defence and Casual which also needs a section as thats what most PopCap games are. Peggle, Peggle Nights, Bejewled, etc.

Complete 2009 Mod and Oblivion Lost 2.2 for Stalker SoC.

Also what about a section for Stealth Games? I only suggest it because calling any of the 3 Thief games a FPS would just be outright ridiculous.

Change mount & blade to mount & blade: Warband.

It makes no sense to buy the original now. Warband is not really a sequel so much as a massive expansion with a lot of new features. It effectively has all the original content. Therefore suggesting mount & blade is poor advice.
