Good, glad this has been interesting. We can definitely do more later on, with any improvements people would prefer. Based on my voting experience it seems like an alternate list of what you've played the most would be an interesting question to answer, that is different than what I might recommend to a newbie. I expect to leave the lists up indefinitely on my server, at the same address, if you want to bookmark. Big movers in the last couple of days have been Trine and Metro 2033 breaking into the top ten. And Shadow Warrior 2013 coming in from out of nowhere to 20th. Any of the bigger sale items for the top 10, like Tomb Raider 2013, Skyrim, Witcher 2, Dishonored, and Max Payne 3 are likely to been seen on the last day encore sale.

Looks like Tomb Raider 2013 is our best of the best. I expect that it will show up for an encore sale in a couple of days, in case anyone missed it. Question: I see that TR2013 has a lot of DLC. Is there anything in the DLC that is a must have as well? (most curious about Tomb of Last Adventurer)

Outfits look silly, most of its mp, some of it is SP[weapons/abilities=cheats]. Tomb of lost adventurer is the only thing that *might* be worth it. I youtubed to see if it was worth a while ago.. its 10 minutes long. There are like 15(?) tombs throughout the game, its only slightly bigger then one of them. Not saying don't but does it add to game, not really.. On sale at $1.50 its not bad. It feels like one of those store exclusive pre-order bonuses. Its just something that doesn't really add to game but gives exp. Ironically I just played the codebreaker dlc for The Bureau.. same thing pretty much. Ability/weapons are cool for a second playthrough but [u]never[/u] first imo. Its a great excuse to replay a game at a harder difficulty imo. They are always OP becauese they want people to buy them. Like I know I will replay dishonored one day so I bought the weapons/ability pack when it was on sale. I love Dragon Age series, origins was best and it was before all the OP dlc stuff. Went in fresh and it was great. Started second playthrough a while later and it had a TON, it felt really OP and lasted all game. DA2 came out with OP DLC and wow.... that sucked. Nothing more fun then a game with progression.. to lack progression. So I learned my lesson with The Bureau and waited till second playthrough on hardest difficulty to try out dlc weapon... most powerful weapon in game. You get it almost as soon as game starts.

Thanks for that info on TR2013. I went ahead and picked up the Tomb of the Lost Adventurer, since it was $0.59. That was in fact a pre-order bonus for GameStop. And I skipped all the other stuff because I'm with you, I prefer not to damage the game with overpowered weapons, and the skins and other stuff are not that compelling to me. (I did a similar thing with Dead Space 2, where EA shipped a forced patch with all the XBox DLC unlocked for free. This nerfed out DS2, and so I went back to the original exe to avoid that.) On second playthroughs, it's not a problem for me to overpower, the surprise is gone, and you already know how things turn out.
