Impulse has both Space Hack and The Chosen: Well of Souls bundled together for $5 on sale this weekend, reviews are mostly mediocre but the price seems right. Has anyone played either game? Worth dropping a Lincoln on?

space hack is a great game. the chosen not so great. worth it for space hack, I think.

I'm also likely to get those...deal can't be beat.

What about this Penny Arcade RPG Bundle...could use some current impressions since even Gamefaqs is pretty well barren review wise.

Penny Arcade is good. Don't expect a major RPG but it's well worth the money.

i dont know about Space Hack being a great game.. its an ok fix for hack and slash jonesin though. i sunk a few hours into it.. for $2.50 you cant really go wrong. Chosen: Well of Souls i know nothing about.

I have something of a complex history with both the creators of Penny Arcade and Hothead Games, so I'm not sure that my opinion is completely unbiased. Truth be told, if I didn't feel like I had to play the series, I probably would've stopped halfway through the first episode. However, I'm glad that I did get the second episode, as it is considerably improved in every way. While ep1 is merely okay, ep2 is far more confident. It's bigger, deeper, has better puzzles, characters, and dialogue. I have a problem with the cursing for the sake of cursing (it's distractingly not funny) and some of the more disgusting attempts at humor, but I still enjoyed my time with them. If the third and fourth episodes are as big an improvement as the second one was, the series will be an easy recommendation.

Hmm...with consideration to budget, I suspect I'll take a pass this time around then but revisit it in total once all the episodes are out down the line.

Chosen sounds nifty enough in the writeup, niftyish appropriate setting, and sits at a nice price. Bundle sold!
