All these people getting and gifting Gunslinger just warms my heart. That's one of those games like Half Life 2 and Bioshock Infinite that I would love to be able to play again for the first time.
A terrifying and scantily explained abyss, and a turn based fantasy game.
Apparently I screwed up and this giveaway isn't open for an hour, but also, a post-apocalyptic platformer.
I read that as "scantily clad" and then I saw what game it was and realized either way is accurate!
(also, The Void is a really good game with some brilliant mechanics and a wildly imaginative setting, even if it does involve feeding color to women to make them get naked)
Yeah, the Void definitely has its oddities but it's worth playing. I'm still not sure if learning it by trial and error before spoiling it was actually worth the additional experience or just somewhat frustrating, though.

I thought Gunslinger was a 3rd person thing but the screens look like an FPS of some sort? Is it open worldy or linear level kinda stuff?
It is first person, not sure why you would think it was third person, no game in the series has been.
It is absolutely linear, except that occasionally the unreliable narrator will change his mind or have a new recollection and the game will rewind or a mission will take a different path. There is definitely no exploration, though there are 'nuggets of truth' which have background information on the historical figures and incidents referenced in the game hidden in each level.
Combat is highly arcade-like with skillshots, combos, and bullet time. There are lite RPG elements where you get XP for killing copies stylishly and unlock new skills. The framing device of the protagonist telling the story of his adventures and his audience interjecting allows crazy things to happen.
Aside from the story mode there is a pure arcade mode where you just try to shoot your way through a level and beat high scores. There is also a mode devoted entirely to the quick draw gunfights occur as boss fights in the campaign, which are truly unique game design in any shooter.
It's also really beautiful, the visuals strike what is IMO an ideal balance between realism and Borderlands-esque cel-shading.
It is the best short and sweet, self contained, single player shooter experience I have played in a long time.

When I first saw the name "Steam Marines" in here I immediately thought it was some clever photoshop depicting the denizens of this thread as marines who assault each other's Steam wishlists.

Thank you very much both @DaringDirk and @Shdwcaster for shooting me with a copy of Max Payne 3.
I'm sorry, Shdwcaster, but Dirk's bullet hit my game bank just a few minutes before yours did but I was away when it happened.
I hope you can find old Max a nice home (not a hard task since, who would not want that endearing alcoholic and violent ex-cop in his/her life?).
Huh. In my line of business, you learn to shoot first, and think about the mess you leave behind later. Better yet, wash the bitter pills of forgetfulness down with some cheap whisky to avoid thinking about it at all. So I shot first, and consider it a 'win', while some poor bastard has to collect the bodies. Maybe I won't wake up tomorrow, wouldn't bother me none. But if I DO wake up, it'll just be to more of the same...
I told myself that gift targets were like buses: Miss one, wait a few minutes, and another will show up. It numbed the pain a little. Not as much as my friend Jack did, but a little. Jack's a good friend though. Doesn't say much, helps me forget all the missed opportunities... Damn it, empty again. Time to hit the corner liquor store for another bottle.
Just watch yourself, my friend. Believe me, I know. Once you go down that road, you pick up speed, because it all starts to go downhill. And there is no bottom, for every bottle you drink there's another to buy, or steal. You lose yourself, because you WANT to lose your sorry excuse for a self. You make no friends, and every corner you turn, every person you run into, they could be the last. That guy there, is he really reachin for a light in his pocket for a cigarette? Or is that a gift with your name on it, the last gift you'll ever receive? And in just a couple of weeks it will all start again, another sale, another daily, another flash...
The trouble with looking in a bottle to get away from the monsters in your head, is that sometimes you find another monster at the bottom of the bottle. Sometimes, it turns out that monster is you. And sometimes, @ HiT BiT gifts you Papa & Yo just for trying to pass your monsters on to him.
Someday, somehow, I'll pay him back. I don't know when, but the last thing he's going to hear is the "Ping" of an incoming gift pop-up.
Considering the tear stained and bruised source material for Papa & Yo.....

Pretty much this. All of it. Great game. Playing it with varying western movie themes is highly recommended.

That good huh? I haven't played it yet.
Yes, it's great. Gaslights post above summed up most of the reasons why. If you are at all a fan of westerns, very arcadey first person shooters, and/or the unreliable narrator concept, this game will truly tickle your fancy. It only takes about five hours to play through too, so it doesn't overstay it's welcome and leaves you wanting more.

Sounds very "The Darkness 2"-y
Edit - Oh hey $5? Yeah, I'll buy that. Thanks for the recommendation guys, I'll let you know what I think after Tuesday.
Aaah! After an absolutely awful day at work, I get home and see that @DoctorArch had gifted me Blades of Time. Thanks! I actually saw potential in X-blades, and from what I've heard, blades of time is better, so hey!
Well, that was my best Steam Marines run yet. Commanded by Private Assreamer leading Private @Buttcleft, Private @Sokpuppet, and Private Corrigan (he got drafted)... we lasted all of 14 turns and are still 422 points from reaching the lofty score of ZERO.
SotS: TP is highly derivative, in the mechanical sense, of older genre titles like Doom RL and Mystery Dungeon.
It also reminds me a lot of the old Gold Box RPGs like Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday. Which is an absolute gem, if you can get past the incredibly dated everything.
I keep hoping for Steam releases of Shiren the Wanderer titles...
Accidentally put 3eeve down instead of @GoodKingJayIII when issuing thanks for Dark Souls. Wanted to make sure proper credit was given to his forum name, not just the Steam one!
is shadowrun returns good? Most of the reviews that aren't by somebody who's absolutely in love with the setting seem to kind of sandbag it
I have yet to actually finish the game, but the writing and presentation is quite excellent. I'm not a huge fan of the combat though, but a lot of that might be balancing issues since the ideal paths seem to be heavy focus on guns or rigging. Particularly decking and rigging as a combination is pretty easy to do, and opens up a lot of extra routes/content in addition to being crazy good at combat. Where as playing my Shaman has been... incredibly underwhelming. And buggy. I've similarly heard there's not a good reason to go melee, but I think they also recently buffed melee adepts.
The game's design is very linear without much options for exploration. The game only has auto-saves due to a limitation where saving in combat caused the AI to freak out. It's strength is it's writing and the availability of custom campaigns, but it is a very limited game in many ways that could certainly use a decent amount of work.

The crew:
Corrigan got blindsided.
Buttcleft zigged when he should have zagged.
Assreamer got reamed.
Final humiliating score.
Time to do it again...

finally threw about 10 minutes into Krater which I got who knows how long ago
pretty cool game! so far feels like a pretty regular arpg except you're controlling 3 (so far) cahracters at once.
After getting out of Thor II, severely bummed that Kat Dennings isn't on a better television show that I might actually enjoy watching, I checked my phone to see a deluge of gifts!
I'm going by Steam names, so if I miss your name completely, that's really your own fault.
Anyway, @HukTonFonyX quickly fires a copy of Gunslinger through my hat, knocking it to the ground @FireBird tells me to look over there, pushes me down, and drops a copy of Really Big Sky on my head @Shade teaches me how to crush 'em with FF7!

If it matters, I don't have any prior knowledge of the Shadowrun setting.
Absolutely.
I picked these up earlier today but just noticed this; Wizardry 8 is 50% off making it 4.99US.
Wizardry 6 and 7 bundled together are half off for 2.49US.
The bundle with all three? 75% off making it 3.74US.
They are giving you a buck and a quarter to get Wizardry 6 and 7 along with Wizardry 8. You know what to do. Go get your free money.
Not only is he just a Lieutenant, @Luchaire, but he's just a desk weeny lieutenant at that.
