Monday Blues? Let Indiegala Give You Too Much To Do Today!

Posted on July 7, 2014 by geelw

Hmmmm… SIX games for a buck forty nine for a mere twelve hours means “GO!” today, if you want some unusual games to make your manic Monday go down easier. I gay get this just for the insanity that is Into the Dark: Ultimate Trash Edition, a game so full of strangeness that even the bugs and glitches are fun to experience. It’s not for the kiddies at all, but hey, Mondays are generally adults only in one’s head when you find yourself cursing at the coffeemaker out loud or your boss inside your head at some point. As the old jingle goes, “You deserve a break today, so get up and get awayyyy…”. Um, of course, as these are digital games, you’re not getting up to go anywhere but to the bathroom or kitchen at some point to take a break. Anyway, make yourself happy and make Indiegala happier with that purchase why don’t you?

Bundle Stars & PC Gamer Magazine Want A Million Of YOU To Grab A Free Game For The Next Few Weeks!

Posted on July 2, 2014 by geelw

Okay, I missed posting the news last week thanks to CE Week overload, but for the next four weeks, Bundle Stars and PC Gamer.com are giving away FREE GAMES- woo hoo! This week, it’s the weird and wild mix of multiplayer only first-person shooting in a WWII setting and Jurassic Park gone wilder, Dino D-Day up for grabs as a Steam code.

Just look at the “cover art” poster for this digital-only game:

Yeah, that’s kind of attention grabbing, isn’t it?

“How the heck do I get one of those codes, mister?” you ask? EASY. If you clicked on that link above, you already know. If you didn’t, all you need is a free Steam account, a PC capable of running the game and time to play it. You also may as well sign up for Bundle Stars while you’re at it (this is free to do, by the way) just to stay up to date on the great deals they have on the site every day!

Oh, and if that poster didn’t sell you, this old trailer SHOULD:

So, don’t sleep on this one – who can pass up FREE (especially if it’s got well-armed dinosaurs you can play as or against!)? Anyway, three more weeks to go and three more free Steam codes on the way for a lucky million gamers!

Indiegala’s Monday Sale This Week Nets Some Bad Poetry (But Hey, It’s A FREE Poem!)…

Posted on June 30, 2014 by geelw

Another Monday full of stress?
I think you need some games for less!
To Indiegala, you now must click
This bargain’s great for thin or thick!
Seven games for a great price
Some music, too (it sounds quite nice!)
All under two bucks for a day
So go get yours and then go play!

Yeah, yeah – you get a crappy and very quickly written poem because I’m buried in catching up on a few things after my lousy weekend online. Anyway, seven games and some funky music to make your ears and other parts dance. $1.49 for 24 hours. Go grab them and get busy!

Bundle Stars Wants You To Load Up On RPG Deals. I Say Oblige Them!

Posted on June 28, 2014 by geelw

So, Bundle Stars is having yet another sale. Well, ALL they have are sales, but this time, you can buy some fine RPGs for a dollar or two or spend a tiny bit more for a bundle with assorted games and get one of these titles below in that deal. Anyway, pick one or pick all – it’s your move!

While here in America, the two Two Worlds games get a lot of negativity thrown their way, if you like European-developed open world role playing games or want to experiment with a couple, there’s a lot to love in both. Two Worlds: Epic Edition for a dollar and Two Worlds II for two bucks? DEAL of the week, I say. In either game You’ll get some pretty visuals, very large worlds to explore packed with plenty of challenge, and while not exactly strong on story, both games share a slightly goofy sense of humor that for me, at least was a refreshing change from the darker doom and gloom games in the genre.

The second game is the better looking of the two, but turn off the motion blur effect and down any other visual effects that can make playing the game a queasy thrill ride at times. The story is a bit better in the sequel, but as noted, that oddball humor is still there. I find it amusing that some people who disliked the funny stuff here probably never played one of the later Might and Magic games 3DO made. At times, those were practically comedies wrapped into a dungeon crawling experience. Anyway, more suggestions below the jump…

It’s BAAAACK! The Humble RPG Maker Bundle Returns!

Posted on June 14, 2014 by geelw

Sure, it’s now set at a minimum of $25 (or more if you want to give more to charity), but this Humble Weekly Bundle is still a really impressive set of game making programs, add-ons and even more free games that you can shake a stick at. If you missed out on this before, don’t let the fact that it costs more deter you, ya cheapskate. This is about $370 worth of stuff if you buy it normally, so the price here is MORE than fair. I’d gather (and hope) this particular bundle stays on the Humble site for a while as a perpetual deal that pops in and out every so often, but that’s up to the folks behind the program who also probably need to sell this stuff at closer to a profit making level in order so they can stay in business. Anyway, go get yours if you haven’t already and go make that next “retro” classic RPG you’ve always wanted to!

IndieGala Friday Bundle: ACTIVATE Adventure Plus Mode!

Posted on June 13, 2014 by geelw

Okay, there’s a nice mix of weird but interesting stuff in this particular bundle, but for the low price of $1.49 (the minimum you can pay, but feel free to shell out more, as the money goes to charity), you’re getting weird, but good in terms of what you’re spending. If anything, the trailer alone for Cult of the Wind will make you laugh a lot if you’re in the proper frame of mind. It looks mighty silly, yes – but if you’ve ever pretended you were a fighter jet, it’s right up your alley, I bet. Go get your IndieGala Friday Bundle HERE and enjoy!

IndieGala Slaps You In The Wallet (Again) With Eight Steam Games For A Song…

Posted on June 7, 2014 by geelw

Okay, I’m officially Bundled OUT, but I’ll still pass along any great deals that I see to you happy guys and gals that love saving money and supporting charity. So, here you go: EIGHT Steam Greenlight games for as little as a buck,but feel free to bump that up more if you also like supporting charity. Okay, I’ll shut up now and let you go snap this deal up. Those are some mighty fine looking indie games, that’s for sure. As little as a buck, huh? Hmmm… (looks under chair cushions)… Oh, look! I found a buck! SOLD.

Indiegala Wants Another Dollar (Or More) from You. You’ll Give It To Them (Again)…

Posted on June 2, 2014 by geelw

Yeah, yeah – you know the drill. 24 hours to get this deal for a buck minimum and then the price jumps up. I actually haven’t played any of these yet, but my backlog has gotten SO huge that I don’t know if I’ll e able to if I do buy this set of six games. I know that the Uncharted “homage” called Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta – Episode 1 – Gold Edition is seen by some Sony fans as a bit of a ripoff, but hey, if you’re going to steal, steal from the best, right? It HAS to be better than those three Adam’s Venture games that snuck light bible study bits into an adventure game that looked okay, but had some control issues. Anyway, as usual, spend what you like, help charity and feel good on an otherwise hot and odd Monday!

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!)
