This week it's Alan Wake + American Nightmare

I'd say these are worth a buy. Alan Wake eventually gets really repetitive and quite dull, but the aesthetic is different and interesting and genuinely creepy.

Greenmangaming is having a big Squenix sale.

 

Hmm, I'm actually tempted to get the Kane & Lynch pack for 10€, they all seem to register on Steam too.

You've read what me and a small contingent of other people here think of Kane & Lynch [2: Dog Days]. It's the best/worst/best/ :tup: game.

So the sequel is at least goofy fun, but I should avoid the first game? I think I can get them separately too.

A friend of mine swears by both. Definitely seems to prefer the second, though. I keep meaning to play them.

I don't think it will get much cheaper than 5€, it's probably even less if you use the code they have in their deal page.

I actually really like K&L 1, but never got hooked by 2. Take that for what you will.

Beat me to it Nappi!

 

Average or lower:

  • Thomas Was Alone
  • Dear Esther
  • Little Inferno
  • Awesomenauts
  • Capsized

 

Better than average:

  • Hotline Miami
  • Proteus

 

 

So ... I have a spare of Capsized for a fellow Thumb. Would it be worth putting it up on SteamGifts for members of the Idle Thumbs Steam group or would such a thing insult proud forum tradition?

Taken out of context, this makes for a weird review.

The curse of the new page, Mr Manz. And yeah, such a strong bundle. Almost, almost as good as Humble V. Oh man oh man what if they added Miasmata as a better than average?

 

Edit - moving Capsized gift to Gift Thread like a gift thread newb.

I didn't actually realize there was a new Bundle until I saw this.  I got the email, but it was in the middle of a bunch of emails from every forum I've ever signed up for telling me Happy Birthday and I assumed the Humble Bundle was the same.

Don't these bundles usually get a few games added later? I'm only missing Hotline Miami, maybe what the add next will entice me to buy it. :|

This is the best bundle since that crazy Psychonauts + Bastion one, IMO.

A lot of Telltale stuff was on sale over at GOG a few weeks back and I'd been regretting not picking anything up.  This is perfect timing.

Morrowind is the daily Steam sale for $6.79 in American money!  Should I buy it if I only own a MacBook and bought Fallout: New Vegas like a year ago and haven't played it?
