Well I definitely can't buy all of them. Which one would you guys recommend?

Yeah I had this problem too, I bought 3 games and they never showed up until I restarted Steam!
They're all pretty different.
What are you in the mood for?
Costume Quest: light minimalistic JRPG style game
Legacy of Kain Collection: platformers
Skulls of the Shogun: strategy game, I think
Monaco: stealth and loot, extremely fun with 4 players

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
So I just attempted to install Top Gun from a retail disc I purchased. I bought it because there are huge Steam logos plastered all over the packaging and big warnings like "Requires a FREE online STEAM account to play!!!". Since it's been removed from Steam, and the disc was quite old, I thought I'd take the chance.
And... it didn't work out well. Firstly, there was no CD KEY in the case. So I thought maybe it was like NBA 2K9 where I had to install the disc to attach it my account. It started off good - the readme files on the disc all reference Steam and provide instructions for setting up an account and whatnot. Once the program installed, it launched a Steam setup application which installed an insanely old version of Steam (it was green, not black) and then proceeded to download the latest client.
It then asked me to sign in. At this point I was excited, thinking this would be the point that it would attach the game to my account. Alas, it just signed me in to Steam normally and presented me with my regular list of games (without Top Gun in sight).
Strangely, when I launch the game, it comes up with the Steam overlay. But it's like... completely disconnected from Steam. Steam didn't show that I was in game or anything.
When pressing Shift+Tab to open the Steam overlay, the game immediately crashes.
Oh well, I guess it's still (somewhat) playable, but sadly didn't attach to my account.

So, I haven't posted in this thread in a while but I figured this was a worth while way to give back for the time I won stuff from Modbot. Since I don't know how to use that I figure we will do this in another way.
I preorded Batman: Arkham Origins on PC from Best Buy. They didn't have my physical copy when I went to pick it up so I cancelled it and bought a steam card to pay for the game. Just now Best Buy sent me not one but Two (yes Two), download codes for the game that unlock on Steam.
First come, first served if you want them PM me. No need for anything else. Just let me know if they work.

It could be amazing if Sega released these games.
Sega and logic don't mix, same goes for Square Enix.
This is why I wish I had money. Damn you steam sales and making me choose! Which would most likely be the longest? Is the monaco community still going strong/easy to find people to play with?

Yay, it has the worst lip synching ever but It's a good game.
Yay, although I personally wasn't a huge fan.

OMG! It worked like a charm! Thank you soooooooo much
Your very welcome.
Very repetitive and disappointing.
...is anybody else's Community game count broken?
I immediately panicked, but sure enough my actual library game count hasn't decreased.
Hi! I thought you might pop into this thread after adding me yesterday.
Please, I already have them.

Fight!

I mainly Monaco'd with a group of friends, so I don't how easy it is to find people to play with, but the community is going strong. Game also got an update recently.
Costume Quest is a short game, a couple of hours for each campaign.

Not for me Jase, but Steam is acting weird, when you buy something it doen's show up in the library until you restart Steam.

Bastion is steam, the others are origin codes

i would say this is the best post/reaction in this thread...if this wasn't the same thread that dxhc99 just hooked me up with batman arkham origins for totally free in. you get the consolation award for second best though.

How far is it off? By the number of Maxes you added?Valve has forsaken me.
Valve has forsaken me.
That's still almost twice my count.
I was sitting at roughly 1960, so... yes.
Would you take let's say HL3 for all those missing games? Assuming you can't get them back.

That's what you get for trying to min-Max, I'm afraid.
(Okay, I'll stop now, but seriously, the most obvious culprit is that.)

Did you tried restarting Steam?
Hm, Skulls looks so much fun and I love strategy games though. Ugh this is a hard choice. I really want to play Costume quest but it's a shame it's so short. I'm trying to sell cards to see if I can scrape enough cents for it.
I would accept only Ricochet 2. An actual Ricochet 2.
I still need to hit up Accent for Max Payne 1 FR. I missed him this morning.
It's an issue with the Community website, not the client. My actual library game count as reported in the client is fine, which makes the problem all the more strange.
Well, "short" might be a misnomer.
If you do everything in both campagins, it's still about... 5-8? hours
It's definitely less than the dozens of hours I spent on Monaco and the Kains, tho.
Not sure who that is, but I understand that Seaman is an acquired taste.
Guys, if you hate yourselves and are looking for a reason to commit suicide, I'd suggest you read this thread I just found. Yes, I was bored, and yes, I plan on getting a shower when I get up tomorrow morning.
Damn I feel like I'm narrowing it down to either Typing of the Dead and Monaco.
