Buy every Putt Putt and Pajama Sam game immediately.
They're great for kids. And nostalgia.

Is Don't Starve still on sale? My sons are the same age and they love it. Really though, the whole family really likes that game. The Reign of Giants DLC is worth it as well.

Purp has been holding a 11k lead for a while now. I think that's it for Day 2....
It was colder last night, weaksauce.
Mind that we have very high humidity so it feels way lower than that.
Discount, yes. Deep, no.
(It's Bethesda MO)
All the talk was about how shit the manga/anime has become though
OHSHIT
WISHLISTED
Also, "8-bit Score: A second retro soundtrack featuring Hiroyuki Masunos original NES composition" <3
To be fair, it's anime based so in reality the game's framerate should be half of what it is.
And Garry's Incident and Revelations 2012 to complete the trifecta of garbage shit.
Russian store, the game isn't region locked in any way (yet at least).
Fixed.
I get what you mean, what I do is simply add those games to the wishlist which I then check on the final day. Hasn't failed me thus far
Nice, that explains why the regional prices weren't showing up for me.
It's surely going to be in one along with the game, but don't expect huge discounts for the DLC, as Bethesda generally doesn't discount them much after the GOTY/whatever editions are out.
SELL IT. FREE MONEY.
Yes, won Divinity OS, Dark Souls 2 and Dead Rising 3 IIRC.

I'm waiting for that one as well. Hope we get a discount.

Has some incredibly frustrating combat and level design at times. Didn't really care for it. If you want side scrolling Wayforward developed action, try Double Dragon Neon.

Far Cry 3 buy or no buy ?
Well, I have no idea what your kids may be into, (I was into Duke Nukem 3D when I was 7, really) but I'll suggest Portal 2. Have your kids play the coop mode together, should be a ton of fun for both them and you.
edit: wait until it goes on daily/flash, of course.

I feel kinda bad voting for the sale games when I'm not really interested in any of them. But must... get... cards...
I didn't know we had yellow in the game.

It's not amazing by any stretch, but I thought it was decent for the dollar I paid.
No, the commonly accepted term is "roguelite" now. Gotta keep up, man!
Papers, Please. Time to introduce them to the harsh realities of life. For extra effect, initiate something like the Stanford prison experiment after they complete it.
Dice
Pokémon Parentage Conspiracy Theorist
But do get them this.
Except not (or maybe yes, if they like horses?) Get them Castle of Illusion, Lego games, maybe a nice adventure game like Wallace & Gromit. Mini Ninjas or something silly like Demolition Inc or Mousecraft might be good, but I don't know how hard they'd be for them since I'm not too far in them. Pac-Man DX is a solid choice for all ages, then there is always popcap stuff like Peggle or Bejeweled.
I'll tell you what, though, kids can surprise you. They might be able to dig into something pretty technical, it's just up to their temperament, really. My friends little sisters liked to play Dynasty Warriors with him. Point direction+Mash buttons=Win. Maybe you wouldn't like all the killing hundreds of soldiers thing tho, and maybe they wouldn't.
It's... fun... but expect the 'Ubi' formula of making a game.
Warning
, there are whining rich kids in this game, it gets very annoying.
It's a daily, so it is a safe buy.

It's the gesture that counts, son. Thanks for sharing.
So there are two terms now? Ok. I doubt anyone would get confused by either though since both have the "rogue" element embeded, which is self explanatory.
Well if you want you could use a thread I've already created to giveaway titles. One other person has already done so and a couple of others plan to.

it works pretty ok and it's not noticeably worse in performance

Calling stuff like FTL, Risk of Rain, or Binding of Isaac roguelikes IS getting confused. Roguelites is ok though.

Would you elaborate on what separates both genres?
A roguelike is a turn-based RPG.
It's worth a whole lot more.

meh. I have yet to get hooked on it, but others on here seem to dig it. Uses the old Source code like Half Life. If you got $0.99 to throw away why not.
With that price you can just watch a trailer and see if the game tickles your fancy at all. At worst you've spent a dollar on something you'll only play once.
As you said, people use the term loosely now to basically mean "this game is procedurally generated and has permadeath." What a roguelike actually is, is a game that's like Rogue. It's a subgenre of RPGs that was most popularly represented by games like Nethack, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, Tales of Maj'Eyal, Angband, and Brogue. Some of the basic commonalities of these games were permadeath and procedurally generated content, yes, but prototypical roguelikes are also turn-based, have ascii graphics, and a fantasy setting (with deity worship as a game mechanic).
Obviously in recent years, owing to Spelunky, certain aspects of roguelikes have been co-opted to make fusion games that combine genres or otherwise incorporate some of the mechanics common to roguelikes. Roguelite is a catch-all term to describe those games.
I got it! Thanks all!
