I don't really like racing games at all, in fact I haven't enjoyed one since San Fransisco Rush, but I've never played one on PC either, which one of these should I get, SHIFT?

I like sims over arcade.


I also don't have a wheel obviously.

Does Shift suck? I still need a decent racing game on my PC.
First half of the game is good fun, second half turn into bouncing shit. But personally for £5.50 it's worth owning for some quick races now and again, and mods, lot's of mods!

It's a steal at $6. The very high end cars handle wonky, but it's a really nice PC game. There really isn't a sim alternative unless you want to go into uber sim territory, which isn't really possible without a steering wheel.
 
Somebody stop me from buying Need For Speed Hot Pursuit. I've recently bought Capsized, Super Meat Boy, Magicka, Mount & Blade Complete and pre-order Brink. I really, really shouldn't buy Hot Pursuit.

You're whining about £14.99? It's TWENTY-FIVE DAMN EUROS here.

Let's do that again:

Hot Pursuit is FOUR TIMES more expensive in Europe than in the US.

If I never again make a recommendation that gets taken seriously... but don't buy Undercover. Not even for $2.50. It's atrocious.

Shift and Hot Pursuit are great though.

Its to bad Sega doesn't sell Outrun 2006 on Steam anymore, now that was a fun arcade racer.
Yeah I am glad I picked up a copy for $2 before they removed it. What other games can you no longer buy on steam?

yes a title that just came out will be less than half price -_-

I know you think you're being clever, but the fact is, is that I can buy Shift 2 off of amazon for $24 right now. Only thing stopping me is that I have too many games to play already and it's not on steam.

Prey
The Movies

Maybe more...

I think I am going to pass on all the Need for Speed games. Under Cover seems to suck, Shift is simmish, and I just don't think I will likely HP very much.


But I will be buying plants vs zombies, been wanting that for a while and $3.40 is a great price for me.

Some of you guys were talking about rubberbanding earlier, is it in Undercover or Hot Pursuit? That's a deal breaker for me.

Steam does weird things to the brain. I almost bought Hot Pursuit just now, just because I don't have an arcade-racer in my PC game library. But then I realized that I wouldn't even play the game, right now. I'm neck-deep in a bunch of other titles.

So, I'll wait for the summer sale, when it will be at-least this cheap, and might even hit $10-$12.

One nice way to deal w/ Steam sales and help with self-control is to realize that the games WILL go on sale again. They're never one-time-only.

So now I ask myself "Will I really get into this game before the next big Steam sale?" and if the answer is no I don't buy.

Unless they get pulled from the service (see: recent OutRun 2006 discussion)!

Forgive me, but my only reference to HP is the iphone version. I like that version a lot, and so I wonder how different it is.
Completely different games. The iOS version is nice but it's very basic in comparison.

Still waiting for a repeat on Bloodlines and Psychonauts, just to name two.

But it was $2 just before being pulled, if you weren't going to buy it then you likely would never had

I would have bought the game for a bunch of people if it was still up

Mirror's Edge for 2,50. It was on one Christmas, it's never been on sale again (being 5 bucks for another Christmas doesn't count).

As a non TF2 player, what can I do with all my TF2 hats?

I'm sure I'm beaten, but it's a great game for short bursts of play. I used to love shooters and I loved TF2. Now I hate shooters and I still love TF2. It's just fun, man.
