IndieGala Asks “Got A Dollar?” As It Hits You On The Head With A Crazy Deal And Takes It Anyway…

Posted on May 31, 2014 by geelw

Okay, so maybe you missed out on some of those Monday bundles over at IndieGala or perhaps you wanted some titles and not others in certain bundles. Well, I guess today’s your lucky day (or yesterday was if you saw this deal when it went up then), as this “new” bundle is a mix of the best games from the others rolled into one fine deal.

The minimum here is ONE measly buck for six games including the unsettling psychological horror adventure hit The Cat Lady, Tobe’s Vertical Adventure, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, Lume, Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden, Strategic War in Europe and C-RUSH. All in all, a nice mixture of games to dive into when you have the time and as this dollar deal ends in a day, you’ll need to act pretty quickly. In addition, there are only a set number of these bundles going for that buck before the price jumps, so it’s best to spring quickly here. While you’re at it, don’t forget to grab your FREE (while it lasts!) Steam code for Afterfall: Insanity Extended Edition, as they’ve giving away a bunch of them for the price of a click. You can’t beat that deal at all, kids!

This Humble Weekly Bundle Will Get You Busy Playing AND Making Games!

Posted on May 29, 2014 by geelw

Okay, this one’s pretty awesome. If you’re seriously interested in creating your own 8 and 16-bit inspired role playing or other games, RPG Maker is an excellent tool to get into once you learn how to use it effectively. Of course, with the ton of great games that come in this week’s bundle, you may never get to playing around with the different programs you’ll snap up at a ridiculous price. Pay what you want for RPG Maker VX Ace, a DLC set of graphics and music you can use in your games, SEVEN games ready to play (Skyborn, Sweet Lily Dreams, Legionwood: The Tale of Two Swords, Star Stealing Prince, In Search for Immortality, and The Reconstruction. Each of these is a great example of what can be done with the software, but that’s ONLY the beginning (and if you’re a total cheapskate, you’ve ONLY spent a dollar or two so far!)

Just wait until you see what else is in this deal, folks… Continue reading →

Get A Bit Of Reverb in Today’s Humble Daily Bundle…

Posted on May 25, 2014 by geelw

Short and sweet: pay what you want for Guncraft, the DIY block-based shooter that’s more or less Minecraft meets Counter Strike, pay $2.38 or more and get that plus Ravaged: Zombie Apocalypse, the online only shooter that also packs in some nice vehicle action. Make it nine or more bucks and get the gassy hack & slash game Orc Attack: Flatulent Rebellion (which I need to go review at some point just because my inner 8-year old says it needs to be PLAYED). Your purchase helps out Child’s Play and The American Red Cross and The Humble Daily Bundle more than happily resets itself tomorrow with even more games to spend some (but not too much!) cash on…

IndieGala Every Monday Dishes Out Doujin For A Dollar (Just For A Day!)…

Posted on May 19, 2014 by geelw

It’s yet another Monday and you need some stupidly wonderful game deal to start your week out, right? Well, there are plenty out there, but I’d say this IndieGala Every Monday Bundle takes the cake in terms of bang for your literal buck. Pay a whole DOLLAR (just one!) for eight Doujin games (the price goes up tomorrow), get Steam and Desura codes for them and get ready to put yourself into a digital coma because you’ve now go too much to do on this otherwise oddball day where stuff happens just because it happens and your poor head is spinning by the time you’re home and wondering what the heck NEXT Monday will bring. The bright side says ANOTHER IndieGala sale, so keep that in mind as you snap up this deal.

IndieGala Friday Special Bundle: 7 Games, 1 Buck, 24 Hours. Math Is Fun, Isn’t It?

Posted on May 16, 2014 by geelw

As with these other 24-hour and then the price goes up sales at IndieGala, after 24 hours… the price goes up! So, get this seven game deal while you can, cheapskates. Granted, you COULD be nicer and pay MORE so more of that more than a dollar goes to charity, but hey – I’ll never tell you how to operate your business so you don’t tell me to mind mine. Anyway, whip out that digital wallet and go shopping. IndieGala’s got a LOAD of stuff to check out on their Gala Store as well. Hmmmm… so much for ONLY spending a dollar, right?

IndieGala Every Monday Sale? You’re Trying To Seduce Me!

Posted on May 12, 2014 by geelw

Yes, I’ve been watching The Graduate (again!), this time for an upcoming blogathon, but that doesn’t means this week’s Indiegala Monday sale isn’t batting its eyelashes and hiking its skirt up to show some ankle. Trying to tempt me to drop a mere $1.49 on a set of indie Steam titles including the recent Greenlight candidate Ocean City Racing (made by three people using Epic’s Unreal tech and zero budget):

Okay, I already bought that game on Desura a while back, but everything else I’d not heard of or want to take for a spin. At under two bucks, it’s tough to pass up and as that sale only lasts for under 24 hours until the price jumps up tomorrow. Bat and flash away, you tease! I’ll do the usual nonsense of flipping an invisible coin and deciding based on where it lands. Given that it’s a two-headed coin, I think I know what I’ll be doing later…

This Humble Weekly Bundle Night Dives Into The Past With Some Great Classics

Posted on May 8, 2014 by geelw

Wow. Three great epic role-playing games, four horror-themed adventures (including one based on a great, gloomy Harlan Ellison story), a sci-fi/horror hybrid first-person shooter still seen as one of the best games ever made and while not quite a classic, a dark and disturbing action/shooter that’s worth a play just to see how bizarre it gets? Sounds like a buy if you ask me. Anyway, Wizardry 6, 7 and 8 plus System Shock 2 are more than worth the price it takes to unlock them and everything else is just the gravy on that cake. I actually liking this bundle because of Harvester, a supremely twisted point & click adventure game that doesn’t shy away from the David Lynch-like weirdness and some mildly to pretty shocking gore effects (which are cheap looking even by 1996 standards, but still effective):

Amusingly enough, the charities this bundle supports are Child’s Play and The American Red Cross (ha and ha, ha). Anyway, this one’s only available for a limited time (6 days, 19 hours as I type this), so GRAB IT before it’s gone!

This IndieGala Bundle Will Drive You Around And Up A Wall. This Is Actually A Good Thing.

Posted on May 5, 2014 by geelw

It’s time to hit the road with this week’s Every Monday Bundle from IndieGala. Every game here has some sort of vehicle as your means of locomotion, so expect some realistic racing at its finest, some future flying taxi action, kart racing with allegedly cute characters and even a bit of blowing up stuff in a tank. You know the drill here: pay a LOW price for the first day, then the price jumps up a bit to a STILL affordable (but higher) point. Two bucks for six games is insane, especially as the aforementioned realistic racer (Race Injection) gives you three games and three expansions worth a heck of a LOT more than two bucks and is a pretty decent simulation racer if you happen to swing that way. Okay, let me shut up and let you get to the buying and playing and worrying about when you’ll get to playing everything you just bought. “Everything in moderation, nothing in excess” doesn’t exactly work with a big backlog, that’s for sure…

Indiegala’s Tiny Mix Bundle: Not So Tiny (Just The Price!), But Oh, It’s Quite a Mix…

Posted on May 3, 2014 by geelw

Yet another great IndieGala sale for charity? Cool! This time up, it’s a mix of JRPG-inspired goodness, a crazy (not for the kiddies!) shooter some will find oddly… comforting if they have lousy jobs and twisted revenge on their minds but aren’t the violent type, some puzzle games to keep you playing ’til the wee, wee hours and even a few tough as nails (or “old-school”) style action platformers. As usual, the price is a total STEAL (well, in a “I took your stuff, but left you what I thought was cool kind of way), you need a working Steam account and probably a time machine once you grab this deal so you can actually PLAY all these games at some point. Yeah, you know you want it, so go get it!

Bundle Stars’ Latest Deal Is The Conquest Of Your Free Time!

Conquest Bundle Banner
Holy cats. AGAIN. A dozen Steam digital games in a bunch of genres for a mere five bucks with part of the proceeds going to charity? Crazy! My own backlog and need to clear out some hard drive space means I’m eyeballing a few games in my backlog and considering deleting them temporarily just to snap up this set of titles. Granted, I’m not a big RTS fan, so those historical sims may not be touched unless I have a LOT of free time and want to do some supplemental reading. On the other hand, most everything else here floats my boat to some extent and saving $110 is always a good thing. Hmmm… time for a coin flip (again!)…

Anyway, if your own eyeballs have grown to saucer size when you clicked on that link above you know what to do, right? Also check out the other bundles on the site PLUS those awesome store deals for up to 80% off a really nice bunch of games in a few genres. I may have a nice surprise for two lucky readers later this week, so stick around for an update…
