Haven't played the Darksiders franchise at all- thought $15 was a good deal for both games and all DLC.
Is controller support good for it?

As good as any, I guess. Age of Empires 2 might be better in the sense that it is rather slow-paced, but really when it comes to RTS there is a massive chasm between single and multiplayer. You will get slaughtered in multi for quite a while before you get to grips with it, and some people just never do. The Westwood C&C games are my favorite RTS and the genre has really changed since then. Hell, it's practically dead in favor of MOBA (yuck)
Pretty much the only way to play Darksiders is with a 360 controller.

Thank you for the heads up! Just picked up Amnesia!

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Controller support is really good - the game is basically a console port. Sad that you missed the sale on Amazon where both Darksiders games, a bunch of DLC, and 4 other games were on sale all for $8 last week. Either way, these games are a lot of fun and easily worth $15 for the pack.

Anyone?
It's still there even though downloads have all finished. PC only. TV and PS3 don't have the problem. Nothing should've borked my on board sound card, right?

DOH! Oh well
I am going on a spending binge because I finally have a system that can play pretty much any game I throw at it (well, it is actually scheduled to be delivered by UPS today ha) so... anything that looks like a good deal is getting snatched up lol.
Especially platformers, survival horrors, and anything that might do decently in Steam Big Picture Mode.
I'm all ears for other recommendations

I couldn't agree more. It's basically a mature Zelda. I enjoyed the storyline in the first game far more than the second though. That being said, the second is probably the superior gameplay experience.

Arrg missed all the Tropico giveaways! Hopefully there are more. Really excited to try that game out.

Correct, I actually backed out of my Amnesia purchase since I noticed it wasn't a Steam key.
I want it but I want it on steam because 1 year down the road- I am not going to remember my GF account info lol
I played a lot of raiderz with friends and it was pretty fun
I dropped it as soon as it got too grindy but it was decent
As it is still possible to buy PuzzleQuest: Challenge of the Warlords for next 22 hours, I wanted to insist that this price is ridiculous for such a game. If even you don't like RPG and puzzle hybrids, PQ is so good that it's impossible not to get this money worth from it. And it's one of most addictive games I ever played, other being Civs, Tetris, HoMM, Peggle and MtG, so as you can see, very refined company.
I only wonder why they didn't implemented achievements on steam, as Xbox360 version had those.
And let's not forget that it is the best Aussie game!
Anyway, what I wanted to say, buy it! you won't regret, I promise.
If by chance you are into such hybrids, buy Galactrix too, remembering that's not PQ in space as one would expect, but still worth this price, regardless.

Good to hear
I enjoyed pretty much all of the Zelda games so I am now really looking forward to it. Thanks for the info!

Alrighty then. Thanks for the input.

I had heard that Galactrix wasn't that good at all though. Am I mistaken?

That sucks. I only watched Teslagrad as it was the only one that interested me and it gave a steam key.

After a while it just gets to be like "Is there anything in this bundle I don't already own? If so, would I pay X amount for those games?"
It's not all bad though, I'm at over 1,500 games now and I was still missing about half of what was in the current Bundlestars.
Woo! Entered for Surgeon Sim, fingers's crossed.
Hoard is great:

What OS are you using? What's your pc like? how much free space do you have?
It depends what you expect, I've played through it once, and besides it being nowhere near PQ goodness and having annoying timed gates, setting was amazing and a game looked very nice even on DS (I've played on DS), I never wanted to go back and play it, unlike PQ, but it's 0,99€ we are talking about! For that price? it's amazing! (><)
bought some of those, yes, I was complaining about HBX

Jshackles posted something a couple pages back. Not very favorable if I remember correctly.

Avoid. I played a few hours last night. This is my favorite genre of game, but this one really let me down. It felt like Early Access, only worse.
Here is my write-up
This community man... someone from Gaf got me into a beta I wanted bad, I wont say what because of NDA (i dont know how it works so lol), such a great surprise, I wont say who because, again, I dont know how these NDAs work, but he knows who he is and im incredibly thankful. Thank you so much dude, and Gaf in general.
what is the code ?
aww, it's a pity, I was considering picking it up at some point.
GFDJAN20 or GFD20JANUK, depending on your region.
I don't think so. But it'll probably show up again soon. Bundlestars likes to recycle.
And thanks for Strike Suit Zero.

Its a decent game with cool visuals.

Windows 8.1
i5-3570k
8gb RAM
Nvidia GTX 770
120gb SSD for OS
3TB HDD (1.5 TB free) for Steam/Origin
This seems recent to me, as I've not noticed this since I build the machine before Thanksgiving... I checked the recent Windows auto-update history and there's no record of driver changes.
I did upgrade some Nvidia software the other day, but the only way that would affect anything is possibly because the onboard audio is being output to the TV via the GTX 770s HDMI connection to my TV.

Insurgency is leaving early access next week. Does anyone know how many titles have been officially released and left early access?
I can only think of State of Decay so far.

Don't Starve.
I can't remember if that launched before the Early Access program or not, but it launched in an unfinished state.
Great game. Enjoy.

I won Greed Corp, thanks a lot! Just saw that it has hotseat support, which makes it even better.

My server stats for Enhanced Steam tell me that Enhanced Steam's web traffic for the past week has now surpassed Steam's total web traffic for the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Gotta start somewhere!

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Thanks
the game always intrigued me even though community hub tells me the game has a ton of problems for some reasons.- Status
