Hey I got an extra 30 bucks to spend on steam and I was wondering what you guys think I should get? I haven't been playing any games in a while because of work, school etc., and was looking for a great game to play on this labor day. I was thinking either Left 4 Dead 2 or Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse. What do you guys think? Any suggestions?

Left 4 Dead 2 is a great choice.

When it comes to Steam, Defcon always gets my vote. But if you've got friends to play with L4D is always good too.

I'd wait until later today and see what the sale is, you never know what's going to be on sale.

Dragon Age is great if you don't already have it. Bad Company 2 is also great if you don't already have it. Both have fairly high hardware requirements, though.

@Necrotoxin - Yes I think its an awesome choice. Been wanting to play it for a while now.
@mwng - I tried Defcon and I see the potential of being a good game. But I really don't have the time to learn the strategies of the game in order to be good at it online.
@OwnlyUzinWonHan - I heard that valve never did a Labor Day sale, and they already have CoH on sale for dirt cheap, but I have that already. So I could wait a couple of hours and see if anything pops up.

Yea I don't have the hardware requirement to enjoy those games. I have a good rig that can play valve games pretty good. But you don't need that much tech to run games on the source engine.

The Company Of Heroes complete pack is super cheap right now if you're quick.
 
EDIT: Oops, didn't see you already have that.

Yep. Team Fortress 2 I'd say. Or The Witcher: Enhanced Edition.
 
Although, I wouldn't be surprised if you've already got both.

Don't buy TF2 =/ If you're going to get TF2, then get the Orange Box.
 
Also, Devil's Playhouse is good.

I'd say Left 4 Dead 2, or Borderlands, or Mass Effect 2, or any of the Introversion games.
 
Oh! Or Stalker: Call of Pripyat. That's a fantastic game, and it's the first stalker game that's not horrifically fucking broken and crashtastic!

Had Orange Box on another account, but account had got backed and vac-banned so I doubt I'm buying it again. I had so much fun with TF2 though. The Witcher sounds awesome though. Forgot all about that game.

Playing the demo of Amnesia and have to say its a really interesting take on the horror genre of video games. I never played any of the early silent hill games so I never got to experience a game where it was focused on hiding from your enemy rather than fighting them.

Amnesia would be a good choice I think. Would leave you with a bit of money to spend on a second game as well.
