  • Don't know if this has been mentioned before in this thread, but gog.com is having their Summer Sale...just saw The Witcher for $1.49, and there are tons of other games on sale.

  • Yes, I just bought some games last night!

    Pharaoh + Ceasar III (plus the rest of the city-building collection) to replace old CD versions, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura to replace an old pirated version, and Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption because I've wanted to try the game for a long time. I mostly use gog for games that aren't on Steam, so this was a perfect match.


    I went all the way to Cassadega to commune with the dead
    They said "You'd better look alive"

  • Oh man I remember Arcanum, great game.  I'm tempted to pick up Freespace 1 & 2...but I don't have a joystick any more and space flight sims just aren't the same without one :)

    I see Crusader Kings is on sale, anyone here played that?  I keep hearing good stories (intrigue, murder, incest...you know, standard Medieval politics)

  • Spintires for only €6.21. It's great fun with friends (has multiplayer up to four players the last time I checked), and that's the best deal I have seen so far.

  • I'd been on the fence for awhile, but I took the plunge and subscribed to the Humble Monthly Bundle. In a digital incarnation of services like LootCrate, the Humble Monthly Bundle promises to send you a new bundle of PC games each month, but you won't know what the games are until they're sent out. So far, as far as I know reaction has been negative, due to the relatively high price and the fact that only 5% is going to charity, but I'm thinking of it a different way.

    They're promising in part to include games that have never been in a bundle before...between the higher price and the far lower amount going to charity, that leaves them with more money to pay the game publishers, which I'm betting they will be able to parlay into bundles with better games, and for the price that's what I'm expecting. If there's at least one or two moderately big titles per bundle, or several popular indie or early access games, I'll be happy. If nothing else, those who subscribe for the first month are getting The Legend of Grimrock II right away, which is currently listed at $24 on Steam, so you're at least getting something!

  • The first Humble Monthly Bundle came out a couple days ago, and it was superb. Absolutely worth every dollar, you got:
    Legend of Grimrock II: A game that harkens back to ye olde days of first person real time grid based dungeon crawlers, absolutely fantastic.
    Saints Row IV: There's a dildo bat.
    Towerfall Ascension: Think platforming arcade game with limited ammunition and fantastic physics. You have Towerfall.
    Lethal League: Smash Bros meets baseball meets eargasmic music.
    Valkyria Chronicles: A turn based tactics RPG with perma-death and a neat artstyle!
    Besieged: You make siege engines and kill people and blow up shit with it. Or, do what I do and try to break the game's physics engine.
    Sanctuary RPG: An ASCII turn based RPG that *gasp* has enough complexity in it that it doesn't feel like a boring grind fest! Also, it's rather funny.

    Seriously, Grimrock was worth the price of admission, and Lethal League should not be missed. Unfortunately, the bundle's over, but fortunately you can sign up for the next one! If it's even a tenth of the quality of this one, it will be absolutely worth it.

  • Town of Salem, a game like mafia but with a lot more roles. It is 5$ on steam and free for web browser. Just thought I'd point that one out. It also has great music :)

  • Indiegala has particularly interesting bundle now, 17 old games for as low as $3! Special price only for the first 24 hours! (Do you think they might hire me as a salesperson?)

    But seriously, that bundle has gems like Death Rally, Wacky Wheels, Raptor: Call of the Shadows and Crystal Caves.

  • Not a specific suggestion, but just remember that there is an entire section on Steam devoted to "Free-To-Play", where I'm sure you can find something to your tastes :)

  • If you have a device capable of it, the Amazon App Store gives away a paid app for free every day. Sometimes it's something stupid, while other times it's really good (didn't pay a cent for the first 2 FNaF games on mobile).
