Torchlight will be copped...and I guess I'll finally take a dive into the Mass Effect series too (given I have any time to play these games! =P)

So far for me:

Code: 
$01.99 Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (Amazon - Steamworks)
$02.99 Renegade Ops with DLC (Amazon - Steamworks)
$02.49 Psychonauts
$02.49 Limbo

That's worth $9.96 IMO.

Both Amazon buys awarded a $5 DD credit to be used in 2012 on a 2011 bestseller.

When did you get Lara Croft? It's 9$ now. damn :/

Was Dungeons of Dredmor in a Humble Bundle at some point?

I was about to post about how I was going to punish myself for missing out on what I learned from screens and videos (after the fact) to be a hilarious rogue-like with a ton of personality (and just over a buck = practically impossible to resist). As I went to Steam to buy it for 2.49 it tells me I already own it... But I can't remember buying it and I don't see when I bought it in my transaction history...

It was a bonus in the previous HIB.

They released a patch that deleted your save cause it removed GFWL. They realized they made a mistake so the second patch is a rollback. Ie, the two patches combined = nothing changed for you. Though I think it is cool they are working on removing GFWL from the steam version.
Click to expand...

That is cool. Although it certainly would have been optimal to have just shipped with no GFWL embedded in it.

i just did the Toki Tori achievement. Impossible without a guide for me. It would have been way easier, if the flakes didn't disappear. And you can only reach the, if your timing is nearly perfect.

I enjoyed it. Reminded me of a somewhat less engrossing Deus Ex - STALKER hybrid. The character progression mechanics are sort of obscured but there are definitely some cool ideas there; augmentations such as being able to run and jump faster/higher, hack ANYTHING including enemies and control them to do your bidding, spawn clones of yourself to distract and take down enemies, invisibility, see through walls, make enemies go insane and attack other enemies... there are plenty of ways to approach combat and you can deck your character out with swords, hammers, pistols, snipers, minigun etc etc. It's not the most polished game but it's quite interesting. And, at least personally, it made for an enjoyable co-op experience.

How many people can play co-op together?

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Is Torchlight the kind of Diablo clone that gets boring after a while because there's no multiplayer?

Yup, really lonely game. Good, but basically just an improved upon Fate. No multiplayer made it get old really fast for me.

I believe it was added as a "bonus" to one of the bundles a few days after it went on sale. I saw it on my library uninstalled and was like, "When the fuck did I buy this?"
Click to expand...

You're right, the Introversion bundle, according to posts I found. I LOVE that I don't have to do a thing and it's just added to my library, but maybe Steam could add a notification system for this kind of stuff, because I really had no idea.

I don't even like the game, so I just had the guide up right off the bat.

It took about 5 minutes, but it was stupidly annoying in parts, especially since the rewind is kind of random on where it wants to put you back. Sometimes it would throw me way back to almost the beginning, but rewinding from that same point again only takes me back a little tiny bit, not enough to redo what I needed to redo.

Yeah. I saw instructions for that one and immediately passed. I didn't skip too many achievements for games I owned, but that was one I had no interest in doing.

That's the reason I haven't done it yet. The best part of Toki Tori is sitting there thinking about how to tackle the situation so the addition of a timer on the snowflakes really sucks. Not to mention I can navigate through the game much faster with a controller than with a keyboard.

If I buy ME2 standard edition, does it come with all the DLC included in that? Or does the delux edition come with the DLC? I'm so confused.

Fuck that Toki Tori achievement. The snowflakes disappear so fucking fast, any, and I mean any amount of delay is going to screw you.

is Defense Grid a reasonable introduction to tower defense games?
Click to expand...

Absolutely. Most maps don't require you to make a "maze," and those that do are pretty easy to figure out. Very noob-friendly. Buy it! One of my favorite games.

The DLC maps are pretty tough, but anyone should be able to complete the base campaign.

Played Deus Ex for a few hours on 360 but the lack of fast travel or a decent navigation system annoyed me, is this any better in the 360 version?
Click to expand...

Sometimes... I can't think of anything but fail to certain complaints. I don't even know what Fast travel could be used on.

unfortunately LIMBO isn't a SteamPlay title, meaning only the Windows version is available. i imagine it's a title that would work well under Parallels, though.

echoshifting: thanks! will purchase it.

I guess because the navigation sucks so it was taking me forever to get from place to place. If that was better, I wouldn't want fast travel.

I really like what Two Tribes does with the winter achievements too, and there's plenty of puzzle to these ones, but I'm finding that the way Toki Tori controls isn't really great for anything requiring quick precision. It's hard to tell whether you've found a good solution and just aren't quite smooth enough with your execution, or if your solution's off a little.

It's so annoying that I can't buy a game for myself and a gift at the same time. I also hate filling out the little message cards every time I buy gift. Is there any way to skip that? :/

Got my sister:

- Bastion
- Orcs Must Die
- Terraria
- Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes
- From Dust
- Cave Story+
- Portal
- Portal 2
- Peggle + Peggle Nights
- Plants vs. Zombies

All for the same price as a standard retail release! She likes to play quirky games and just got a new laptop, so I thought I would flesh out her library a bit with some of the best of the best :D
