fubar's june steam special recommendations

before you go and buy any of these title, be aware that I am a overall strange guy who enjoys the weirdest games.


cryostasis 3.25$USD

cryostasis is a very good game. but its not your regular fast paced run n gun kinda gameplay.
its very slow paced.
now I don't know if your heard about the story/mechanics but basically you're that meteorologist guy. and there's that ship that froze in arctica. not sure what your goal is in the first place (the story is kinda hazy at some times) but w/e you go there and get stuck in the ship because of the shitstorm outside. all the game is on that ship so the environment is kinda repetitive. but the mechanics are very interesting. at some points, you can enter the mind of dead sailors and live the instant before their death and what you'll do in these events will affect the past and these changes will be reflected in the present. that way you'll open new paths that allow you to progress through the game. the mechanic is very interesting gameplay wise but it is also a very powerful way to convey the story. I found the past story way more interesting than the present story in fact...

the enemies are really weird in the game tho. you don't really know why they are like this and why they are there. best explanation I came up with is that the ship crew has been cursed by the ship or something like that.

tl:dr It's not a perfect game it, has its flaws and the environment feels kinda monotone at some point so the game is probably a 6 out of 10 at best. but it really is a unique gem that I will remember for a very long time. definitely worth playin.

clive barker's Jericho 1.69$USD

not sure what you'd call that but lets say its a class-based horror shooter.

in jericho, you're part of that weird paranormal investigation team your initial goal is to stop some black magic freak from doing w/e freaky shit he wants to do(that's all I can remember of the story sorry)
SPOILER ALERT <not really but kinda. your character dies very early in the game. (that's how good the main character is... jking) so you're some kind of ghost for the best part of the game. this spectral form allows you to take control of any team member (that's where the class based element kicks in). your team members have different set of abilities and weapons so you're pretty much sure to find a character you will enjoy altho you will have to switch character from time to time.
the different environments are one of the strong point in this game imo. the more you progress in the game the more you go back in time. I don't want to spoil anything so I'll leave the rest up to you.

game overall is not a blockbuster. again a solid 6 out of 10. definitely worth 1.69$USD the game is kinky, voice acting is ok. not one of the best games out there but it is entertaining. bored? go ahead and give it a try.

FarCry 2 fortune's edition 13.39$USD

you probably already know about this game. If you haven't played it yet, here's you chance.

TrackMania Nations Forever 0$ (oh wait that's not a special, It's always free!)

what do you have to lose?

Introversion Complete Pack 5$USD

it contains darwinia and multiwinia. what else do I need to say. if you like rts check out this pack

I would have put in Trine but that sale ended about 10 mins ago, and it was 4 bucks!

Call of Duty Pack - You get 4-5 call of duty games for the price of one, thats a great bargain in my opinion. $30.

Resident Evil 5 - $12.50

While RE5 may have a horrible story, bad voice acting, and basically rapes the Resident Evil franchise's sense of reality (4 kinda did too), it is still a damn fun game, and for only 13 dollars its a steal. I'd love to play co-op with some of yall, I got me a hand cannon and I'm itchin' to use it.
