Hey,

I am looking for some Steam games that may have fell under my radar, either in pre-release, or old school. I will go first, recommending E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy, a perfectly flawed diamond in the vein of Deus Ex. I am also throwing in a world for Black Ice, which is a procedurally generated Tron-meets-Borderlands, only $9.99 on pre-release, though it bumps up to $19.99. It is getting rave reviews.

I haven't played it yet, but it's on my wishlist. I might as well add a few others, before the Summer sale, when my wishlist gets full.

P.S. I am also looking for some kind of over-the-shoulder melee Arena brawler in 3D, kind of a cross between Dark Messiah and Powerstone 1 & 2, and Anarchy Reigns, with 20% less Capcom over-the-top DBZ.

Otherwise, anything goes. ;)

Ghost Master - if you liked Haunting for Sega Genesis, then I'd say this is a pretty nice hidden gem to combat boredom.

Wizorb - fun and cheap Breakout clone that's basically forgotten at this point.

Sacrifice
Shadow Man
Age of Fear 2 (not yet released on Steam, nice TB game)

Something more "brawling" relatad, in some way, maybe not waht you seek but i mention anyway:
Megabyte Punch (not really played much it, it has a nice Smash Bros feeling. It has been on bundle)
Rune Classic (not a fan of the game, but there's some brawling)
Enclave (ridiculous price right now)
Shadowcrypt (maybe not a masteripiece, but it's nearly like a Zelda 2 combat oriented)
Wazhack (side scrolling roguelike, fast and fluid to play, Nethack inspired)

Lately, I've found myself drawn to the new wave of MMOs, but I have been looking for a hack'n slash brawler in the vein of Powerstone, or Dark Messiah, something similar to Anarchy Reigns. The above list is purely Wishlist items. I recently bought Nosferatu and Frozen Synapse on sale, as well as Enclave, mentioned above. The list was in no particular order, and I'll probably not end up getting all of the games, though you can see how far behind I am. I just moved onto Marvel Heroes Online, and DC Universe, along with Ultima Online, Wizardry Online (now taken down), and Mortal Online (pure hardcore goodness.) None of the MMOs have been recently compelling, though I started with MUDs, so I guess one day they'll find something with serious depth to attract my interest. Until then, I'm looking at the games above, along with the three I just bought. In the meantime, I am finishing up the latest Shadowrun game, and EYE: Divine Cybermancy, and mucking about in Witcher 3.

Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death is a great 80s action films inspired over the top brawler. It costs pennies too.

I'm actually in favor of cutting the list in half. Remember, this is just a wish list, and some of the early access stuff such as Delver, Bloodlust, and Ziggurat is getting heavy comparisons to Underworld, Bloodlines, and Dark Messiah respectively.
