Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: My Steam Library and Where It Came From

[quote name="Fullofkittens"]Inspired by the new What Are You Playing Now? forum and out of a desire to give credit where it's due, I decided to take a spin through my Steam library and see on whose recommendation I purchased this gigantic backlog of games, most of which I will never get around to playing in my lifetime. This post is just to show where the games came from. In my <i>next</i> post, I will add the number of hours I played each game, and we will discover the identity of my true game recommendation hero. Without further ado... <b>MY STEAM LIBRARY AND WHERE IT CAME FROM:</b> ------Games I just decided to buy for some reason------ <b>Games that were part of a Steam sale that looked neat:</b> ABZU Bioshock Bioshock 2 Dishonored DOOM 3 Entire Fallout Series Gratuitous Space Battles Hawken Hitman (3 games) LIMBO Mass Effect 1 and 2 S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
