That's not the complete list. I just checked out their site and found some others at $5 that you didn't list including S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and World of Goo.

If you haven't played Bioshock, Far Cry, or S.T.A.L.K.E.R. yet and you like FPS games, they are highly recommended.

Personally, I think I'll be grabbing World of Goo and Defense Grid: The Awakening.

Gordo, you should check out that "Sword of the Stars" title. It looks like Homeworld-lite.

P.S. Chessmaster 9000 is NOT $5 ($9.95), but I still recommend it.

Sword got low reviews, so I skipped it.
Posted by Leisher on Oct. 05 2009,07:12
World of Goo and Defense Grid: The Awakening both got excellent reviews, as did the three FPS titles I listed.

I'm not sure anything else on the list caught my eye. Although, if you've never played them, the GTA games are obviously good.

I've got World of Goo.  It's a pretty good puzzle game.  I'd buy it again for $5.  In other words, knowing what I know now, I would still have spent the $5.  Or, it's worth at least $5.  However you want to say it.

Is Darkensang any good?
Posted by Troy on Oct. 05 2009,10:10
Edit: Drakensang, fucking germans.
Posted by Leisher on Oct. 05 2009,11:02
Never heard of it.

Here's the < Gameranking score. >

Titan Quest + Mount and Blade. Sweet.
Posted by Troy on Oct. 07 2009,06:41
Titan Quest is hilariously similar to Diablo, which obviously is cool with me.

They clearly spent a lot of time on the atmosphere and graphics, but all the game play stuff is borrowed directly, especially the way NPC characters talk.

I like it.

God bless that wonderful blacksmith.

Not D2D, but, World of Goo related.  They are having a "Name your own price" sale.  You name your own price.  Minimum is $.01.  But, don't be dicks.  It's a really good game and very creative.  Deserves support.  Well worth the original $20.  If you don't pay at least $5, then, well, you suck.

But, at this point, you NEED to get this game.

< Get it here for PC, Mac and Linux >

Did anyone here buy it?  If so, how much did you pay?
Posted by Troy on Oct. 20 2009,11:01
I didn't with too many games on the horizon, but if I did, I would have paid 5 bucks.

Ditto, I'd have gone 5 or 10.
