Really good weekly bundle from Humble.

Anodyne is like an indie love song for Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.
Offspring Fling is a lovely, full of charm puzzle platformer with amazing music by Alec Holowka. Well worth the $1.

Haven't played the other games yet, but everything with exception of that Winter Wolves VN and Evoland has so much good opinions floating around, it's a safe bet the bundle's well worth the price.

Everyone needs a SSD, best investment you can make.

I went with a 128 SSD and it's glorious. I just keep 5 or so games on it, windows, and anything else I feel needs the speed. I use steam mover if I ever want to swap games off of the drive.

SSD gaming is on a whole 'nother level, my friend, and you should get on that shit.

I'd just wait until you definitely need one, the prices are dropping rapidly at the moment.

Thanks for the replies, think I'll go for it. Doubt it'll come back down to this price for a while. Here's a link if anyone else was thinking of getting it, can also get £5 off with the mother's day coupon thing.

Check other stores first, here in Germany I can get the same SSD for 200€, that's 20€ cheaper, at dedicated computer retailers. I might actually grab one for Steam alone, hmmm....
 
Sleeping Dogs is more GTA4 than SR3, at least in tone. It plays most everything straight (except for two of the DLC packs and even those are mostly serious in a ridiculous setting) and doesn't get anywhere near the irreverence or chaos that Saints Row 3 has.

I really enjoyed it (for the record GTA4 is also the only GTA game I've ever completed) but not for open world madness or any type of over the top hijinks. And those are the things I think of when I hear Saints Row. It has great melee combat, looks amazing, and creates a more or less convincing world in a setting that isn't popular in open world games. The story is a generic undercover cop movie put into a game and is fairly predictable as a result but it was done well.

Yes, of course I am not expecting the same level of crazyness of Saints Row - btw I am looking forward to a definitive version of SRIV at a cheap price since I loved playing it during the free weekend, great game - I guess I mentioned Saints Row just because they are both free-roaming.
 
At least Origins tried something new. People were hugely skeptical when it came to ME3 multiplayer and it turned out to be huge. I think it's important to give credit to Origin because of trying being innovative.

True. Some games pull it off. I always thought Dead Space 2 had potential. Mass Effect 3 was pretty damn good. But then you have other games where you didn't really need it most likely and it was the developer checkbox for "we need this to get the dudebros money cause they want multi".

I don't know if Origins is good or not... I didn't hear a lot of people wanting to stick with it after the first week when it got old... so I assume that it was kind of bad overall, but again -- that's an assumption. :p

Server has been absolutely melting all morning, sorry for that.

Fix it. Fix it. Fix it. [/Fry]

How is Deus Ex HR Directors Cut?

I thought it was great. It fully integrates the Missing Link DLC into the main game, something that irked me previously. The reworked boss fights sort of fix my biggest problem with the game. The commentaries are interesting if you're into listening to stuff like that.
Though I played the DC on the Wii U, so I'm not sure of the PC version's quality.

There is an upgrade option. It costs $5. It doesn't go on sale.

Other posters in the Steam OT have mentioned that the $5 price is only good if you already own the vanilla Deus Ex: HR DLC, The Missing Link.

Edit: It seems to be $5 and I don't have The Missing Link. So the above maybe outdated information.

I'm definitely going to pass that Halo: Spartan Assault Capcom test that Microsoft is putting us through. I want to play Halo 3 4-player co-op at 60+ fps so bad.

You know the games from the Humble Store, (Not the Humble Bundles), do they come with Steam keys?, was interested in picking up Tomb Raider.
