Steam Recommended games

Have any of you looked at the games that steam recommends you to play? I found it pretty comical when I looked at it and it said that I should buy Amnesia because I was playing Grand Theft Auto 4. I think that it's a great feature for players to recommend games to each other, but half the games steam recommends seem pretty silly.

Steam says I should buy Amnesia too because i bought the stalker bundle

They really push certain games you can tell. I bought GTA:SA a few months ago and its basically recommending the rockstar catalogue to me

Based on my purchase of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit I should buy Dead Rising 2!visceron

Wow. That is epic. Well they were going on about this on the Steam forums a while back, some of the recommendations are complete bollocks.

I've always thought that some of the games there are "real" recommendations, but some are just being advertised and promoted.

You know, I'm leaning towards that as well. There's no way that Valve would have trouble setting up a decent recommendations system, and seeing how bizarre the current system is, advertising is most likely the case.
