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: **Mon Oct 05, 2009 10:12 am**

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: **Mon Oct 05, 2009 1:10 pm**

Edit: Drakensang, fucking germans.

Posted: **Mon Oct 05, 2009 2:02 pm**

Never heard of it.

Here's the Gameranking score.

Titan Quest + Mount and Blade. Sweet.

Posted: **Wed Oct 07, 2009 9:41 am**

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: **Tue Oct 20, 2009 2:01 pm**

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.

I've decided to go completionist on this game. I've got Expert ratings in ALL base game missions and challenge missions, and Steam tells me that only 1% of players have that. I'm working my way through the expansions (the ones that have STEAM achievements), to get those, too. Since I wont have any people at my funeral, put my steam achievements on a screen next to my body.

Just now, Defense Grid, 87/87 achievements.

Fortunately I got about 75% of them just playing the game, not focusing on the little curveball achievements.

I'll never do something like that again.

Now, Leisher, accept my trading card extortion/trade request.

Send them again. Says they expired in September.

I don't think I ever got notifications for them?
