It'll probably be a couple weeks before it gets here. I'll do a write-up after I've mucked around with it for a while.

Cool. Had my eye on it for a while, but I'm a hesitant adopter.

... Oops. I went with Solarix :P
In my defense, you took an hour and a half to respond and I waited for ten whole minutes for a response before pulling the trigger.
So my haul this sale was DOOM, Hitman, Solarix. Not bad.

I'm getting overwhelmed with choices here but I'll have to make a decision at some point...
Any thoughts on these from TotalBiscuit's (

- Mark of the Ninja
- Wolfenstein: the New Order (Eurogamer review was less than enthusiastic)
- The Stanley Parable
- The Swapper
- Arkham City GOTY
- Saints Row 4?

Hoo. All of those are good or great. If you can't choose I'd say get 'em all, or the ones you're most in the mood for.
Wolf: TNO is pretty good if you like your oldschool shooting melded with some frankly fantastic worldbuilding detail. The story isn't always on point, but it's a daft action movie narrative written by smart people who clearly had their heart in it, winking and nodding most of the time while it throws a Tarantino-esque parade of goofy, tense, and violent plot events at you. It also maintains a shockingly decent ratio of good:naff character moments for an FPS.
Essentially, I'd say it's worth a play if that sounds interesting to you.

The only ones of those I personally wouldn't get would be The Stanley Parable and The Swapper, but that's more of a personal preference. But if you're into the genre of either of those two, they're as far as I know very much in the "Worth Full Price" category, just like the other four games you list.
So far my haul has been Deadpool and Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten. I probably could afford to buy more, but my time for other games kinda went low when I started playing Overwatch, so my current backlog should easily keep me occupied until the next sale.

I haven't played TNO but from the others on your list those two would be my first choices. After being a little disappointed by SR3 I loved the fourth game in the series - but be prepared to turn your brain off and just enjoy the madness. Arkham City is completely different in tone and although I still prefer the atmosphere of Arkham Asylum it's well worth getting for the price.

Views appreciated. I think because I've just been playing Doom, Wolf:DNO is going to be too soon to follow up and I won't play it for ages.
The rest on that list are all very cheap and almost throwaway, but I also have my eye on:
- Borderlands 2
- AC: Syndicate
- The Talos Principle
I also just pulled the trigger on MGS5.
I've got more of a dilemma here because I haven't had my focus on gaming for a while due to lack of a capable PC. Now there's a huge backlog to catch up on :eek:

Mark of the Ninja is very, very good, don't pass that up.
I liked The Talos Principle.

I picked up The Stanley Parable during this sale, but haven't played it yet. I'm currently playing Wolfenstein: the New Order and like it very much so far. I also recommend The Swapper.
