I was a little late picking up the entire Steam buzz, and maybe that was for the better. It’s a beast, a beast I tell you. And it eats money.

On several occasions I’ve just slowly been clicking through the store and stumbled upon something fairly cheap, and thought, “why not?”

So right now, I’m downloading two excellent although underrated games, which I’ve played before but never finished: Dreamfall: The Longest Journey and Beyond Good & Evil. If you haven’t already, I definetly recommend them both. Beyond Good & Evil is ridiculously cheap. And I by now, I bet everyone is aware that there’s a sequel in the works?

On the note of sequels, Ragnar Tornquist discusses Dreamfall Chapters here. Dreamfall Chapters is the upcoming episodic sequel to Dreamfall. Check it out.
