Game-O-Rama

Today I played a mixture of games.  It was like a little Game-O-Rama.  It was time to play some of the games I recently bought off of Steam.

I started my day off playing some Team Fortress 2.  I have fun playing the game, but in limited spurts otherwise it kind of gets tedious.    My teams were pretty horrible today.  Match that up with my noobness, and it means spending time watching Will Respawn in 15 seconds way too much.

I next moved on to Witcher 2.  I like the game, but I didn't feel the hook.  I may have to give it more time before I get to the point where I don't want to log off.

I also tried Oblivion.  I figured I would play it a little since Skyrim will be coming out in November.  I can't say I am too impressed with it yet.  It just seems clunky, and awkward to me.  I feel like I don't really know what I am supposed to be doing.  I think I am still in the tutorial so hopefully it picks up once I complete it.  I just don't like having to take potions, switch between melee, and casting, and etc.  I have so much in my inventory I don't know what I am supposed to be keeping, and what is junk.

Believe it or not I still love Fable III the most out of all three.  The game is straightforward, and I know exactly what I am supposed to be doing.  It could be that I am just comfortable with Fable III, but I see myself finally going back to finish it before playing Witcher 2, and Oblivion again.

Now the final game I played today I fell in love with.  What game finished off my Game-O-Rama?  It was Left4Dead.  I only played the single player offline version because it was the first time ever playing it.  How can you not like killing zombies?  Of course my headphones died so I had to quit, and charge them back up.  I can't wait to play it again after my headphones charge for an hour or so.

Why Does Steam Make It Easy To Pull The Trigger On Buying Games?

I have avoided buying games on Steam for years.  Some gamers I follow on Twitter started talking about the Summer Sale.  The prices just seemed too good to be true.  I had to sign up, and check it out for myself.

I am now asking myself why I waited so long to take advantage of Steam.  I was like a kid in the candy store.  I couldn't control my urge to buy so many games.  I bought Witcher 2, Oblivion, Portal 2, and the new free to play Team Fortress 2.

I am excited to play them all even though I am still trying to finish Fable III.  The problem is there are about ten more games I want to buy off of Steam.  It has been a long time since I have had multiple interest in different games at the same time.

I sort of blame it all on my MMORPG passion the last ten years or so.  I felt like I couldn't play other games, or someone would have better gear, or whatever.  It is nice to finally open up my gaming to other genres like when I was a kid, and played every new game that came out.

It is crazy though on Steam.  I don't know if it is the discounts or what, but I find it easy to buy several games at once, and want to add even more.

I am really glad to be playing a bigger variety of games, and expand my audience here on Wasdstomp.  It is nice to not talk about the same old game every single day.  Which game will I play first?  I still don't know, but I am thinking Portal 2.
