I don't know what to buy!

So there's a new set of deals today and in it are a handful of games I've been wanting to get, namely:

  • RAGE $4.99
  • Sleeping Dogs $16.99
  • Crysis Warhead $4.99
  • Crysis 2 Maximum Edition $9.99
  • Trine $2.49

My budget is variable but I certainly can't afford to buy all of them. What do you guys recommend as must-haves out of this list?

I'm thinking Sleeping Dogs is probably the best pick of this litter, and I think I could probably do without Trine and RAGE (unless convinced otherwise). And how about the two Crysis games? I enjoyed the first one, though it felt a little bit "sandbox hell" until the turning point of the story about 2/3rds in.

I'm not interested in multiplayer for any of these titles, just campaign.

So what do you guys think? And how about you, do you have a similar choice to make today?

Crysis sucks, it's just graphic designer wanking. Rage is awesome and for 5$ I would totally grab it, it is pretty "short" but the time it lasted it was fun, so 5$ is a good amount. Sleeping Dogs is also awesome. Trine is ok.

Well, trine is good but the second one is definitely better. Co-op or not.

Trine is awesome. The music and art are beautiful, and the gameplay is addicting.

Sleeping Dogs should be a definite buy. DLC is negligible until the price lowers on it considerably (Nightmare in North Point is $2.37 USD currently and gives roughly 1-2 hours of content, so that's your call). I only hear bad things about RAGE, although it does look like it could be fun. I have the Crysis franchise and it's fun, sure, and pretty, but aside from cloaking and the other powers, it's your generic shooter.

I don't know much about sleeping dogs, except that it looks like a lot of other games. Couple people have told me its good though. Trine is excellent, easily the best bargain, easily worth as much as any of those titles in terms of quality. Crysis Warhead id say is next, 5 bucks for a cool experience with carefully constructed grapical experience. Rage might be cool at that price. Crysis 2, meh its crap.

Okay, addendum: I already have Trine 2. Is there any reason to buy the first one as well, or can I get away with just the second?

Thanks for the guidance so far guys. Looks like Sleeping Dogs is definitely in, RAGE/Crysis is a bit iffy, and Trine is a maybe depending on the above.

Just a random rant: Reading this, i really get angry about those price differences, 1€ = 1$, otherwise i'd go watch some reviews, to see what you like most

Does that mean it's cheaper or more expensive in Euros?

If cheaper, how do I pillage the system for maximum savings?

More expensive in Euros since they are worth more than the US dollar.

I tried trine 1 and personally I thought it was a bit boring and linear. It might have been good when it came out, but there are better titles to sink your time. I havent played the other games on your list, but I'd opt out on trine 1 especially since you ahve trine 2

You do realize that $40 is a lot of money, right?!

Perspective. 40 is part of a lot of money.

For an unemployed bum or someone who is too young to play those games, yes.
