Should I get Dishonored or the Game of the Year edition? Can I get anything extra in the GOTY edition as separate DLC?
Blah, it's region restricted.
Only UK is seems.
In the American Continent it's restricted too, for those interested:Only UK is seems.

Most of the story missions in Dynasty Warriors 8 won't load forcing a restart. Tecmo pls.
The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth will have a pre-order discount for BoI owners.
I'll pay double what I paid for it the first time! So, $3.00.

I made a RTTP thread over here, actually. I agree with your critique about speed - I found myself rolling all over the place just to get from point A to B faster. Being slow also isn't helpful in a fight.
Regarding the ending:
Resetting the past isn't perfect - it's implied that the Calamity might happen again anyway, which suggests a cycle of suffering. Despite how optimistic the reset option initially sounds, I think the option you took is the better choice.
Started STALKER: Call of Pripyat Complete.
Lots have been said about these games and this is supposed to be the best one.
I think its really shoddy so far. I'm a sucker for a good atmosphere and open-ended/world gameplay, which is what attracted me to these game and was super excited to find them on sale recently(finally). But man, the shooting is awful. Just bloody awful.
I also don't know what I'm doing or who is an enemy and who isn't. I've apparently killed a few Stalkers already, not realizing it.
Somebody, please tell me some reasons for me to continue....

Call of Pripyat is the worst one, in my book. Its world is the emptiest and dullest to explore. And the shooting is more simulation-like than traditional shooter-like. Not sure what you were expecting.

Take note of the date in amongst the writing, which is tomorrow's date.
Tomorrow's bundle will likely be Doctor Who: The Adventure Games & Eternity Clock.
I made the mistake of buying and trading the cards for Adventure Games thinking i would get this super awesome TARDIS badge for my profile.
Nope, just a dumb bow tie badge.

how is Cypress Inheritance: The Beginning ?
They should've made the pic black and white so we couldn't tell the color of the telephone box. And maybe added an I.M. Foreman reference. http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/I.M._Foreman
The game that Google put up during the 50th anniversary was probably the most palatable of any of them. I tried the early adventure ones... no.

Coincidentally It's also the Super TIME Force release date, at least for Xbox / Xbox One.
No idea when it's being released elsewhere though (you know, the super time platform, the modern personal computer)
I didn't like The Eternity Clock when I played it in co-op on my PS3. The co-op part felt sort of forced in and resulted in a lot of one of the players just standing around. It was also really buggy. Those things might be fine in single player on the PC, but beyond that it was still kind of dull, which is how I felt about the adventure games.

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.
As a huge fan of the show, I actually enjoyed the first season of The Adventure Games. It's like Telltale's adventure games, but with much less polish and style. If you're not a fan of the series, you'll probably want to skip them. If you've never seen Doctor Who, you're better off spending your money on the DVDs and watching the show, which is infinitely more entertaining.
The Eternity Clock game had higher "production values", but overall it was much less fun (for me, at least) than the adventure games.

SoC is considered the best of the series.
I finished the first episode and I still plan to play through it because I like the series, but I certainly would not consider it good.
Doctor Who games Humble Bundle?
I like them.
On the whole, no.
While The Adventure Games are okay to decent stories and that's worth experiencing as a fan of the Eleventh Doctor and some side-plots from the old series, they are rather basic and at times rather cumbersome adventure games.
It was free for the U.K. and the quality shines through with that aspect, and while I am glad I played them, I can't say they would have been something I would be happy having spent much money on. So perhaps okay for a cheap bundle?
Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time for iOS and Android is actually decent, frustration can be found with the controls, but overall it's a decent little game and reminescent of the puzzle finding and solving top down games that used to be popular on ZX Spectrum and Amiga.
Doctor Who: Return to Earth is absolute rubbish and should never be played. However the Wii Remote shaped like the Sonic Screwdriver is brilliant and an absolute must for all Doctor Who fans because Wii Remotes can connect to devices via bluetooth. I can now turn on and off every device in my home with a Sonic Screwdriver and that's great fun for me and friends.
Doctor Who: Destiny of the Doctors is another bad game, just suffered from being a title of the FMV late 1990s craze. However it's worth looking up the intro for on Youtube because it is Anthony Ainley's final performance as the Doctor before his death and that is worth seeing if you are a fan of The Master.
Doctor Who: Legacy on iOS is actually good and fun adventure for the Eleventh Doctor and his cast using a Puzzle Quest/Marvel Heroes like match 3 or more gems, special effects, RPG system that I've been enjoying.
Every other game should be ignored for they offer nothing of worth.
If you like Doctor Who, skip the games, and purchase the About Time books. Especially if you grew up watching/are interested in learning about the pre-2005 series (though the later volumes cover that era too). I'm reading the fifth volume right now, great stuff. http://madnorwegian.com/category/books/doctor-who/
Damn, I'm super conflicted on whether or not to get Binding of Isaac.
I really, really want the game, but half of my friends who own it have had serious technical issues which make me think I'm better off waiting for Rebirth (framerate issues, can't go fullscreen, crashes, etc)
edit: Also, re: Dishonored on Gamefly ... which DLC packs do I need?

You get a Steam discount on Rebirth by owning the original. It's worth grabbing at 1 buck.
There's also a chance you'll be able to pick up a Humble Bundle with it in it soon.

It's one of my favorite games of the past few years, I've got 51 hours played, but I stopped playing it (while not really wanting to!) just because the framerate and what not is so frustrating that I'd rather just wait for Rebirth.
For what it's worth, I haven't had any of those issues.
Okay, I'm playing Serious Sam 3 right now. Can someone tell me why I have the option to melee someone from halfway across a room, allowing me to instantly teleport to the target and instakill them? I just ran into a bunch of guys, spammed E, and teleported around the room snapping everyone's neck like Nightcrawler: Assassin Edition. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty cool and all, but I can't help but wonder if the game's actually supposed to work like this or if it's a glitch or what.
That's intended for Serious Sam 3, at least on the easier difficulties.
I always recommend the Big Finish Audio Plays as well, as they do amazing work with the franchise prior to the Ninth Doctor in fun and enjoyable sessions with the past Doctors and companions, as well as many new ones.
These turned the Sixth Doctor from one of the most hated to one of the most enjoyed by long time fans, gave us most everything known about the Eighth Doctor (who started the monthly line), and gave the start to the Time War that is so important to the start of the current run from Ninth on.
Just great stories set in the old style of multiple episodes, but done in a modern style so they don't drag on as old weekly episodes used to int he 70s and 80s and they wonderfully expand the universe getting to tell types of tales and experiences the show can't. For example, wouldn't you like to know why the Daleks suddenly found a love for Shakespeare? How about the Doctor in a dimension where there is no time? Perhaps seeing the Doctor deal with vampires, both human made and the ancient enemies of the Time Lords? They also get to experiment in their stories, such as a tale with two stories from two different perspectives, one from only hearing news reports, another involving or a several stories from the companions (actual former actors) about how they saw an adventure or what they were up to when the Doctor wasn't around.
I highly recommend Davros , who was never one of my favourite villains, but they made him someone I cared about here. Also anything involving Charlie, the 8th Doctor's companion, quite important her.

That's the only one I've seen too, he was great.
I noticed that. What's the deal with Strategy First, anyway? Are the devs for these games being paid, or are these games up pretty much illegally with a risk of being pulled in the event that the developer notices?
Yes it was. H1Z1 will also be on steam when early access begins.

Man, I'm not comfortable with this Strategy First sale. It feels like a scam to get me to buy a lot of Hidden Object games, and it's totally working.
