Sorry to answer this late, but I am playing these last days Unity of Command a really neat wargame with an Advance Wars feeling and your poll came just at the right time because I'm having a blast with it! So to answer your question, absolutely. As someone already posted asynchronicity of multiplayer would be great too, and small battle scenarios would be a plus for fast games that would make the player quickly restart as soon as he finishes a game, or even play several simultaneously.

If they didn't want free trialers to have access to the promotion, they'd block it off from them. Otherwise, they're still getting the promotion they want.

If they didn't want people to pay .01 dollars for their games they would have made them pay more. Otherwise, they're still getting the promotion they want.
I have never bought or commented on the indie bundles, but the man has a point.

I could have sworn I wasn't making a case for that whatsoever. Either way, right. Have they condemned people paying .01 dollars? Didn't they allow people to plead their case for paying that amount the time they cut it off due to a technicality?
It's $45 in the UK Steam Store
Well if there is anyone from the US or elsewhere that wants it at this price I'll be on for few hours add me

No, and less than 900 people have finished the first level. I hope it picks up, I have no idea why it hasn't been in the top 5. Doesn't seem like they'll bother porting other Pixeljunk games over, which is a shame.

No controller support and no multiplayer probably put a lot of people off it. I'm sure the mouse control is great but it seems like they made a pc port for 2005 rather than 2012.
It's the lack of pad support that's stopped me double-dipping. I'm sure the new control system is awesome but that's no use to me because I play all my games on pad, my keyboard has a little trackpad built in that I use to select games but that would be unplayable in use.
I'll probably still buy it to show my support but the lack of pad controls is a real pisser

I doubt that that many people really see gamepad support as such a large issue.

I'd wager that a large enough amount of PC gamers use a controller for most non competitive games.

Here is why you should want to get Rochard from that IGN promotion:
Stallion said:So I just wrapped up Rochard, here are some thoughts:
- I loved the art-style. They used a pastel-cartoon style that works really well with the environments and they pack in a good amount of visual variety. The color-grading is fantastic.
- The game is a great showcase for the Unity Engine. Performance is rock solid and there are a lot of well-used visual effects. The only downside is the lack of anti-aliasing options, beyond FXAA/SMAA.
- The controls feel really tight on the 360 pad and the final boss is a great example of this. Moving through the environment is a real pleasure.
- The puzzles are interesting, though they never got as deep as I would have liked them to. There is some great potential shown with some of the laser puzzles, but the game never takes it any further. Still, they are satisfying to work through and there are none that poorly balanced in terms of difficulty.
- The story is light-hearted and pleasant enough. The voice work is solid and the characters are fun.
- The only real issue I had with the game was that the combat feels a little BS at times. Enemies can shoot at you from off screen sometimes and they throw you into a couple scenarios that are pretty much guaranteed to kill you the first time, taking you back to a checkpoint.
All in all, I had a really good time with the game. The in-game counter showed a completion time of roughly 5.5 hours and it definitely was solid content the whole way through. Easily worth the 10$.

which promotion :O

IGN prime promo.

3rd free game I have gotten from IGN Prime trials. If they want to keep giving them out, I'll keep taking them up on it at the right times. I guess they have enough people who forget to disable automatic subscription to continue doing it, so we're kind of taking advantage of each other in some ethical grey zone.
You can get into the free trial with a paypal account and cancel the subsequent subscription. Games for free!

Good decision. Most people are only interested in the hottest new crops of 2012.
Fuck that, who wants to reap last years crops?!

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
It's only a matter of time before someone makes a thread title with those characters.
I don't know if I'd go that far, but I think it's true for most non FPS or RTS games.

Someone needs to tell Activision to put up the Wolverine game up on ... ANYWHERE already, I cannot find a DD copy of that game.Somebody tell Acti to offer up Wolf '09 as a daily.

Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I bet once some Steam sales hit it will be worth the port and justify more. Especially for games already released on another system. Most people will wait for a sale and double dip then. That being said - I'll buy Eden over the weekend when I have time.
I'll take it

Edit: I wonder if we'll see Realm of the Mad God today: http://www.realmofthemadgod.com/
It seems like a lot of titles that were added to the registry over the last month have been getting released this last week.
As far as Wolverine is concerned, it's still heavily published at retail across all platforms, so it escapes me as to why Acti are seemingly averse to spreading the game across the DD landscape.
Wolf '09, well... it's been sitting there doing nothing for years, general seasonal sale discounts and base price drops notwithstanding.
