• What is the best under $30 game on Steam?
    19 replies, posted
I understand you can't really name the "best" but I have a $200 gift card that I haven't found a use for and want to blow some money off of it and I just have the urge to get a new game so I was going to see if people could tell me their favorite game on Steam that I don't have for $30 or under (because I'm a cheapass) and I might buy one or two. Plus in return if I buy the game you suggested I'll buy you any $10 or under game you want. Here's what I have as of now: [IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/311vuix.jpg[/IMG]

I enjoyed Super Meat Boy and am currently enjoying Spacechem. Both are pleasantly difficult (might be too much if you aren't prepared for the difficulty) for their respective genres (platformer and puzzle). I was able to get both with less than 30 dollars because of a sale, but I believe that they're priced at 15 each at the moment.
I suggest TF2 for the PC then, I know you have it for the Xbox, but the PC version is actually updated (annoying sometimes) and its a lot better.

A much wider selection of weapons, achievements, the drop system, the addition of the new game modes, the new maps, the hats/trading/store (which you can ignore if you don't care about it).

Oblivion will give you about 100+ hours.
Since you have ARMA 2 I'm going to suggest Red Orchestra, its only $10 and from the same guys who made killing floor. It's gameplay is realistic in terms of infantry and vehicle combat, ballistics and it's extremely immersive. It's based off the Eastern Front of WW2 (something that is really rare to find a game based on), in terms of comparing with ARMA 2 it is more fluid the handling of your person as the way the company models it is that if it is easy to do in real life it should be easy in game as well. It also has a very active mod about the western front so if your bored of the original game than you can switch to the mod for a bit and vice versa. Also don't think it's your average WW2 game as everything in the game is unique and includes tons of features that Dice has declared new for BF3 but Red Orchestra has had those features for 6 years. If your a modder there is also an sdk you can download form the tools tab which is basically udk 2.5 with all the assets of the game. As well the game fully supports teamwork as one class really can't do everything them selves, as the riflemen and the sniper cover long-medium distances, mg's provide suppresion and taking out large groups, commanders tell others where to go, throw down smoke etc. etc. etc. Long story short if you try to play like its CSS or CoD then your fucked. That said it's very easy to get into and used to it after a couple of rounds, around 800 people still play it daily and the netcode is one of the best you can get in a game as you can play on a server with over 200 ping with no lag at all. Which gives you the freedom to join Russain, European or American servers. Even though the next game is coming out this summer I still think it's worth it as it's a great multiplayer game and isn't worth missing out on.

Fucking hell I wish I had $200 laying around... Mafia 2. Its like GTA only with Italian gangsters and street laws are a bit more realistic.
Dirt 2. If you like racing games. Then you may find this interesting.
Bad Company, TF2, Oblivion, Borderlands, Supreme Commanders (1 or 2)
Oblivion, and The Witcher
