Just got paid, can only buy one new game. Which one?

You could always invest the money at an 8% long-term average rate of return and then buy more games with it down the road...

Get the dragon age or bioshock offer on steam, also you can always get some f2p like lol/dota or buy a humble bundle, the rest of the money you should keep for steam sales, its gonna worth the wait.

Get bundles. If your spare cash can only buy one game, get bundles. Always. Bunch of games you can play.

Buy Transistor

bad rats ftw

Don't buy new games :-P

Wait till they're cheaper and most importantly updated and patched later. This isn't the 90's. These days, games are released broken and then fixed later with patches or completed with DLC.

So, either run the risk of getting a broken and/or incomplete game for 50 bucks, or wait and get it later for less, in a more complete and/or fixed version.

I dunno about you, but I'd spend it all on either Fortix 2 copies or Saints Row DLC.

I'm planning on getting Watch Dogs, so between the two it's obvious for me.

Wait until the game is released and there are reviews before paying for it
