Civilization V - £4.99/£11.54
"Create, discover, and download new player-created maps, scenarios, interfaces, and more!"
First things first, this game is fan-god-damn-tastic. If you've been living under a bridge for the past few years then here's what you've missed - Civilization is the classic turn-based, 4X strategy with all your favourite political leaders through time: George Washington, Genghis Khan, Mahatma Gandhi etc. In Civ V you will wage war over giant maps against multiple enemies and wipe then all out so that you rule the world, or you can let them wipe each other out and sneak the victory away by getting into space first. It's an absolute class franchise and with Steam Workshop support the experience is constantly changing and evolving. I would advise that you spend a few more pennies and pick up all the DLC packs including Brave New World which adds a whole set of new systems and changes a lot of the meta, the majority of Civ fans can attest to how good that expansion is.

Dishonored - £2.49
"Dishonored is an immersive first-person action game that casts you as a supernatural assassin driven by revenge, With Dishonored's flexible ombat system, creatively eliminate your targets as you combine the supernatural abilities, weapons and unusual gadgets at your disposal."
Ahhh Dishonored, this game is really good and one of those games which serves as a reminder that there's more to gaming than shooty shooty bang bang, there's also stabby stabby sneak bang. You are Corvo, victim of the most obvious set-up in history and you must work to clear your name and avenge your ladies killer. Depending on how you choose to play, either stealthy or loud and proud, your world may slowly begin to fill with what are basically zombies for a reason I don't entirely remember. Either way this game is great and I had a blast with it because teleporting around and stabbing people is always fun, it's also worth picking up the Knife of Dunwall DLC as I hear very good things about it and it sounds like The Brigmore Witches is more of the same which is probably good.

Left 4 Dead 2 - £3.74
"Set in the zombie apocalypse, Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning Left 4 Dead, the #1 co-op game of 2008. This co-operative action horror FPS takes you and your friends through the cities, swamps and cemeteries of the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans across five expansive campaigns."
This game. Easily the best example of zombie murdering in my opinion, following up on the incredibly popular first game L4D2 adds even more to the formula including different ammo types, melee weapons and of course new zombies. I didn't play as much of this as I did the first game but it's definitely one of those things you can keep going back to and have ridiculous fun with and for this low a price you should really own it. Also, fuck clowns. Evil bastards.

Deal of the Day
It's got so much going for it! So much mod support and campaign and fun with friends and getting your shit ruined by barbarians all day. You'll find the hours just fly by as you enter the 3am stage of "Just one more turn", minutes into hours into days into weeks into years into Civ. I can't recommend it enough, I've put nearly a hundred or so hours into it and I still find myself going back to try doing things differently (trying to get a cultural victory as Genghis Khan, not easy).
