Okay, so I haven't really played any video games in about a year, which is when I sold all of my consoles and Pokémon games to buy things for a pigeon that I kinda-sorta accidentally rescued. And even then, those were really the only games I had played, aside from Zoo Tycoon when I was young.

Anyway, my friend sold me her Mass Effect Trilogy Boxed Set for $25. Felt like a bargain, and I'd heard good things about it, so I bought it from her. I'll be getting it sometime this week.

Now, I'm looking for other games to play. Here is the catch: I can't stand playing game series in which I can't play through the whole series. This mean games with 10+ installments. Also, my only gaming platform is my PC.

Right now, I'm waiting to get the Penumbra and Amnesia games.

I really like horror, futuristic, and post-apocalyptic. At least, I think I do. Those are the kinds of books and movies I like.

I'm sorry I'm a newb. Please don't eat me. ;A;

I'm fairly sure no one here eats newbs. I'd recommend going to Steam to get games, cos I like them and they're cheap and have a good selection, or Good Old Games, is something my partner's gotten into lately, also good selection.

Horror, I'd recommenced McGee's Alice and the sequel, Alice: Madness Returns.

Futuristic, my favourite is X-Com.

Post-Apocalyptic I can't help you with.

Hope that helps.

I second Red's recommendation on Steam. It's a very helpful store that has a bunch of games available with constant discounts and sales. I've heard awesome things about Dishonored though I haven't had the chance to play it. Dragon age is also an excellent game (I recommended this because it's made by the same people who created the Mass Effect series).

Welcome into the gaming fold! I hope you enjoy it! :3

Recommending:
Dishonored, Dead Space, Dragon Age (1, 1.5, 2, and i know the 3rd will be fantastic), Outlast (I've heard that's really good), Fable (whatever you can get on pc will be epic I promise), The Wolf Among Us (watched a playthrough, looks good), Alice: Madness Returns is AMAZING <3 , Slender (I want to play so bad, it's so good)...
For steam a good free game that is only about 7GB- Team Fortress 2.
Also Portal 2 is fantastical~ <3
If you like zombie games I recommend Left4Dead for a mindless slaughter, or if you want to think a big more about how to survive I'm recommending Dead Island series.
That's all I can think of right now.. biggrin Hope that helped!
