Uh oh, it's that time of year when I buy loads of stuff I barely play because it's cheap!

Portal 2 for £5
Metro 2033 under £4

And many more....

I currently have 84 games in my steam library.

A lot of which I don't play some of which I have never even installed.

I know it's a waste, I know I shouldn't but I know I will probably add another 4-5 games before this sale is over.

Damn you steam and you utterly reasonable Xmas Prices.....xmas

I haven't had steam long this time last year and I got puckered into the sale big time. So this year I've set a budget of 20 quid, not having a computer at home is going to help me keep to my budget also

Ok guys, get recommending me some games please.

Need a shoot 'em up (Currently have none at all!), a racing sim (Dirt3?), and a bit of strategy.

Cheers,

Matt

Strategy - Any command and conquer, total war or Warhammer games.

Shoot em up - For top down try red nation or for first person try either Battlefield 3 or modern warfare 3 (I prefer the former)

I don't play racing games so I can't help there, sorry.

Thoroughly recommend Just Cause 2 to anyone who likes a good sandbox - huge map, good action and plenty to do.
for £3.49 you can't argue. It's a game i just keep going back to
