    Indie Royale: Winter Bundle is up.

    Included are:

    Greed Corp - Boardgame thingy, sometimes on sale individually.
    Hamlet - No clue, says it's an Adventure game.
    BIT.TRIP RUNNER - The only game seen more commonly in bundles than this is Gish.
    Leave Home - A SHMUP
    They Breathe - idk. Sounds like a horror-themed Aquaria?
    Conquest of Elysium 3 - This is why you should buy this bundle. It's Illwinter's newest game, sort of a single-player Dominions.

    GamersGate's Four Daily Deal for December 6th or what I call "Go medieval":

    Warlock: Master of the Arcane $4.99 (75% off). Turn-based fantasy.
    Viking Battle for Asgard $7.48 (50% off). Action-based fantasy.
    Titan Quest Immortal Throne $3.74 (75% off). Click-based fantasy.
    From Dust $3.74 (75% off). Real-time fantasy. I think.

    Gamefly also has a pair of 99 cent deals if you live in North America only: Transcripted is 'a mixture of two incredibly addictive and vastly popular casual gaming styles: the dual-stick shooter and the match three puzzle game' and has possibly the least exciting name for a game ever. There's also X-Blade, in which you take a well-endowed woman through action setpieces in search of clothing, as she wears almost none. You may not want to check the screenshots from work, unless you are employed at a nude beach, perhaps.

    While it would never cause me to actually purchase said game, count me in the category of pathetic, old married guys who find crazily proportioned, pixelated women mildly arousing. Sorry ladies, I am part of the problem. ;)

    The Steam Daily Deal for December 6 is DEFCON for $2.49 (75% off). It's "inspired by the 1983 cult classic film, Wargames". It does not, however, include this:

  9. Creole Ned Being Nice For A Week

    It's an Indie-riffic Steam Weekend:

    #1: As mentioned, FTL: Faster Than Light is $5.99 (40% off). In space no one can hear forget to put out the fire in engineering, though the screaming crew members are a good reminder*.

    #2: Hotline Miami is $4.99 (50% off). Retro! Pixels! Guns! Gore!



    * I don't know if crew members actually scream but they totally should

    Awesome, I always wanted the full version of this, I had played the demo years ago and forgotten about this game.

    Introversion's best game, in my opinion.

    GamersGate's four Daily Deals for December 7:

    Ravaged $2.49 (75% off). How your wallet will feel if you buy this.
    LEGO Batman The Video Game $4.99 (75% off). But without Christian Bale's weird Batman voice.
    Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 $2.50 (75% off). Sure you couldn't jump in the original GR, but we liked it!
    ARMA 2 $9.98 (50% off). War. War never changes. System requirements, however, tend to increase.

    Not sure about their best. I liked Uplink more than anything they've done since. I will agree that DEFCON is definitely Introversion's most evocative game, though. As a teen of the 80s that big board speaks volumes to me.

  15. Creole Ned Being Nice For A Week

    The Steam Daily Deal for December 7 is Check vs Mate for $4.99 (75% off). As you might guess, this is a chess game but it's all 3D and stuff. Also, this is baffling:

    CHECK VS. MATE calls for an interactive feather duster, chartering the successful chess game principle into the present day multi-media world.

    LEGO LOTRO and Dark Souls don't seem to be available at the moment at GMG. Hopefully they'll be up on their sale-day. Or is it a regional thing (I'm in the EU)?

  22. Creole Ned Being Nice For A Week

    GamersGate's four daily deals for December 8th:

    Renegade Ops $3.75 (75% off). Use a controller so you don't smash your keyboard.
    Flotilla $2.49 (75% off). And I quote: 'Blow up your friend.'
    Company of Heroes Gold Edition $7.50 (75% off). Also available for 1 cent here.
    Battlefield 3 Premium Edition $35.97 (40% off). Includes a real fighter jet.

    Steam Daily Deal for December 8th is Tryst for $12.49 (50% off). It sounds like a visual novel but it's apparently 'a competitive Real Time Strategy Game that provides a unique, fast paced spin to the established strategy model that combines player choice with unit customization'. By coincidence its metacritic score is also 50% off.

    Flotilla is a fun little time. Not awesome, but not bad either. I enjoyed Weird Worlds better, though. Combat in Flotilla is a bit obtuse.
  25. Eduardo X Worked The System

    To me, the combat is what makes Flotilla. Fully 3d tactical combat in space is odd, especially when it's turn based. But if for nothing else, check out that combat.

    I'll admit that it can get tedious, but the tactical options are staggering.

    Greenmangaming confuses me with their codes. Dark Souls has the 30% off code posted earlier, but they also have a 35% off code. They don't stack, though. I thought GMG had stacking discounts? I'm not complaining about not getting a 45.5% discount on the game, just about tracking their amazing deals all the time.
