How is Slender? I bought the DnD pack and the Legacy of Kain pack, and I'm looking at Slender to top it off? Worth five bucks?

No. They did this last year too. On the Winter Solstice, and now the Summer Solstice, they put out almost every individual daily deal they had run or were going to run for a special 24 hour promo. Last Winter I remember them having only one or two special bundles afterwards that had not been included during that special 24 hour promo, I might expect the same here during this sale as well.

I also want to get System Shock 2 and I don't think you must have played 1. In fact I've never heard anything about System Shock 1, everybody is just talking about System Shock 2. So I guess you're good to go without having played 1.
No, the sale ends on July 5th.
According to the user reviews on GOG.com it's not that good. Many people say it's not that different to its predecessor "The 8 Pages", which is freeware. So I think it's not worth it.
I also considered to buy Slender The Arrival but after reading those user reviews I just stick to the freeware version.

Just grabbed FTL and Witcher 2! Really tempted to pick up Fez also.
Yeah, I went with Stranger's Wrath since I missed out on it in the PS2 era. Heard nothing but good things, I'm looking forward to getting into the series. I also think it is more expensive on PSN and my PS3 is kaput so these games will hold me over. The other two were cheap so I just threw them in. I've actually never played any Oddworld games, so I figured to start with the classics.

I doubt it will get cheaper than $5. You don't need to play the first.

my cake, fuck off
So, is King of Dragon Pass any good? Looks interesting.

I played it for the first time a few months ago, and never played the first, and I loved it

Bought, and I swear that's my last for the sale. Blew $35 on this stuff.
I think I'll start with System Shock and Anachronox, then move in to The Longest Journey and tinker around with King of Dragon's Pass in between.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
How's Nox? I wanna play a Diablo clone where I just kill shit, and it's sweet.
A good soundtrack would be nice, too. I don't know why it's so difficult to find WRPGs with soundtracks that aren't generic orchestral shit.

Yes, it's fantastic.
I say go for it, I just started it and it seems interesting so far.
Nox's storyline isn't dungeon crawler-y like Diablo and Diablo 2's are, although there's a endless dungeon crawler mode.

Thanks guys. Bought Beyond Good and Evil, Duke 3D, and Redneck Rampage instead of slender (nostalgia'd, my dad had it when I was a kid).
Because fuck freedom, man!
Came here wondering the same thing. I don't really see Steam as a DRM, but more of a virtual library I can access easily everywhere. I don't care for "no DRM" myself as long as I don't have to deal with securom or GFWL.

I think I'll pick up the D&D bundle.
I really want Planescape: Torment. What other games in that bundle are good?
Edit: Are the Myst games good?

Both Baldur's Gate games, both Icewind Dale games, Temple of Elemental Evil and the two expansions for NWN2.
Both Icewinds, both Baldur's Gates, ToEE, and NWN 2: Mask of the Betrayer.

You've never played the Oddworld games? Man, Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus are amazing! Great platformers with stunning artwork, atmosphere and so much humor^^ The game speak is a really cool feature and sometimes the puzzles are really challenging!
Definitely start with Oddysee. I think it's the best game, compared to Exoddus it has the better story IMHO. Although Exoddus has the better game mechanics. Still Oddysee will be my personal favorite because it was my first Oddworld game I've played.
I can only speak to the original Myst. I hated it. Not enough clues as to what you need to do, and there were a bunch of levers and switches that changed things in rooms you weren't even in, so there's a lot of running back and forth trial and error type of puzzles.
Don't Starve is the only game that comes to my mind that is that new, and a decent amount of people seem to like it.
Get FEZ and Sword of the Stars: The Pit and you get two new good games under $10.
It's only available as abandonware at this point. Sucks to skip it, but it's not absolutely required. Soul Reaver is a good starting point.I bought the Legacy of Kain bundle but no Blood Omen...
Is it available somewhere or is it okay to start the series without having played it?

What does Sword of the Stars: The Pit play like? Can you compare it to another game? Hard to tell from the trailer and images.
They only added them a couple of weeks ago; I wouldn't hold your breath. Still, stranger things have happened.
That's a shame, but thanks anyway.
Well, I've only played some of the Blackwell games, but I loved them. So from that standpoint too, it's a great deal.
Blood Omen is on PSN if you don't mind playing on your PS3 with a gamepad.I bought the Legacy of Kain bundle but no Blood Omen...

I'm not a PC gamer at all but I spent over $50 on games to play on my laptop. With some recent Humble Bundles, especially the Telltale one, I've actually been playing PC games. I got a bundle with Deus Ex in preparation for the Human Revolution Wii U port. I also got the Myst and Legacy of Kain bundles as well as the Indie adventure bundle as To the Moon and The Cat Lady really interest me. Will probably pick up Pathologic as well. I was thinking of the first two seasons of Sam & Max to go with the third but I'll probably just pick up the Wii versions. Insanely good deals.
It's roguelike, like Dungeons of Dredmor or The Binding of Isaac.

Well, be sure to play Deus Ex first.
I remember replaying that game a few years back and thinking to myself that it probably hasn't aged well and isn't much fun today. I was wrong. The original Deus Ex just does not stop being good.
I have the game on Steam and I still have my retail copy of the GOTY edition, but I'm finally gonna nab the DRM free version now and play it again. There's something magical about having an awesome game and just having it work.

OK GAF, showdown time. My buying spree continues, but I'm faced with a decision. I have two ~$10 bundles lined up, but I can only choose 1 (funds 
). I need a second opinion, since the two look similarly appealing in terms of content-to-price.
Which of the following is the most bestest?
1. Spiderweb Soft (+ Eschalon) bundle (I already own Geneforge 1-5, though);
2. Wadjet Eye bundle.
Also, is FTL worth it for $2.5?

It's no wonder people don't want DRM on disc games and to keep used games alive. I've never seen prices like these on consoles.

I know this question has been asked a thousand times already, but I just bought the D&D pack having never played any of those games.
Which game should I tackle first? Should I jump straight into BGII, or should I start with someone a little easier, like NWN?
For reference, I loved the first Dragon Age - lining up my party, pausing, etc...

Well, which genre do you like more, point and click adventures, or open world RPGs? Should base your decision on that, and whether or not you played much of Geneforge and liked it.

I like a measure of replayability, so I'd lean toward RPGs, but I'm also hankering for some decent oldschool point&click, since I haven't played any in a while.
That's tough. Both bundles contain incredible games...I can't decide! Guess it depends on what genre you're looking for at the moment.
And FTL is absolutely worth the price. Fantastic game.

Interested in Strike Suit Zero and fez. Although i feel like i should hold off on Fez and hope for a better or same sale on steam. Any other space combat or air combat games on this site for cheap anyone can suggest, more interested in being arcadey more than sim, i just want to play not deal with all this other junk.

To have both a Steam copy and a DRM-free copy. That's why I use Humble Store when its price for a game is comparable to the Steam price.

So what's the word on Freespace 2? I remember this being the best space sim ever... 15 years ago. I'd love to play it, but I'm worried that's nostalgia talking and that by picking it up again I'll disappoint one of the great memories of a game that I have.
Also, I've heard that it's not really gamepad friendly, which discourages me a bit.
