xyzzysqrlHey folks. I'm back to point you at a couple of short term gaming deals.
First: Reccettear ON STEAM. HELL YEAH. For a limited time $18 gives you little girl and fairy running an item shop antics. I've already preordered.
Second, and questionably less awesome, The Telltale Charity Bundle. Potentially nineteen (if I add right) games for $20. Here's the rundown:
The Whispered World is a german 2D adventure. Hand-drawn and undoubtably gorgeous, but I've heard nothing about how it plays.
Jack Keane is like Monkey Island with a brain tumor. This isn't very good.
The King's Quest Collection... man, I know there's a backlash against Roberta "Let's Kill The Player Or Make The Game Unwinnable" Williams, but these -are- classics for a reason. I'm strongly tempted to binge-replay them one night. King's Quest 1-7. No 8. 8 does not exist anymore, I guess.
Penny Arcade Adventures - Episode 1. This one's questionable. If you like this sense of humor, if you can deal with "goofy adventure + RPG combat"... okay. Otherwise you will hate it. I found the demo funny.
UNLOCKABLE 1: At 5,000 bundles sold everyone gets Nelson Tethers, Puzzle Agent. Based on some creepy Youtube animations and the Professor Layton games. Short, weird. I've heard good things, but never bought it.
UNLOCKABLE 2: At some undefined point, everyone gets Sam and Max Season 2. Complete. This is the gem of the package, IMO. Unfortunately, uh... we already own it. Have to email Telltale and see if we could gift it to someone else.
So! Get spending, folks. I'm off to play the Recettear demo again. Capitalism, ho~!

Date: 2010-09-04 05:26 pm (UTC)You know they actually -added- sliding block puzzles into a game made in 1996 that DIDN'T HAVE THEM? They -made it more stereotypically 90s adventure gamey-. I can't believe it.
(Of course, they also added cryptographic substitution puzzles, but it's not like I don't do THOSE for fun anyway...)
