Children of the Nile is another great game on that list. It's not perfect by any stretch, it's slow, and it's kind of hideous...but its gameplay is remarkable and completely unique. If you're a city builder, definitely check it out at $2.50.
They followed up on some of the concepts introduced in CotN with Caesar IV but they didn't execute them nearly as well.

I don't think it's slow and it doesn't look as nice as Caesar IV, but I mean, it still looks okay.echoshifting said:

Don't forget Mr. Robot for $2.50 and Puzzle Bots for $1.25, both great games.

So I've bought 15 games in the sale so far. I've played none of them.

Holy crap! Thank you for the heads up. Buttery smooth nowSober said:
I need 15 -18 tickets to get everything interesting to me. I got Alien Breed 2, the Defense Grid maps, the golder Beat Hazard ship, and 2 extra tix so far. I'd like the MNC gear, and a few others interest me. What seems like the best values there? I see some Sam and Killing Floor characters and such, but don't know which content is just skins and which is worthwhile.giancarlo123x said:

I think it's funny they offer Alien Breed 2. Gotta be some sort of plan to get people to go "I might as well get Alien Breed 1 then for $5!".

Devoid of anything I wanted in the daily deals for today, I picked up The Path, since I'm confident any of the indie games in my list already at 75% off are probably not going to get any lower (and if they do, I'm really not going to cry over so many nickles and dimes).
Since we're on it, I've bought the A.R.E.S. berserker suit, the Portal 2 snorkels and the SpaceChem DLC.
Future prizes shall include the Magicka DLC, the Winter Voices DLC, the glasses for Team Fortress 2, the Golden Ship in Beat Hazard and the Delve Deeper DLC (roughly in that order, the last two I'm not even sure I'd get the games they belong to, but they're the only two I could put in a maybe pile).

Everything that doesn't say gear or characters underneath it is either small content like a map or quest, or an entire expansion pack, with the exception of Alien Breed 2 (full game) and the Assault Squad expansion (which for some reason is listed as gear).Petrie said:

I think you have Zen Bound listed as Zero Bound.Schmattakopf said:
Otherwise, this is an awesome list but potentially dangerous for me on the final sale day.

I want to know this as well. I didn't want to spend more than 10 bucks on any particular game but I bit on New Vegas since its such an expansive game, but I do want to get the most out of it.

I bought Machinarium as part of the sale.
I can't seem to get the game to fill my screen. I've selected "full-screen" from the initial options, and I have my window size at 100% yet there is still a large black border on all sides of the game screen. The resolution on my Macbook Pro is 1920x1200.
This is a re-sized screen-grab of what it looks like:
Is this just a drawback of it being a flash game?
I'm playing on Mac, by the way, but I could switch over to Windows 7 if it fixes this issue.

Yeah, that's just how the game runs. Shame too, as that art would look great fullscreen.Shurs said:

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
Aquaria should absolutely be on the hidden gems list. For $5 it's a steal.
Check out the Official Thread and an appreciation thread.
It's a metroidvania game underwater. Emphasis on exploration and combat against fishy creatures, all sorts of items and abilities and forms to change up your playstyle.
Starts out slow but once you get into the combat and finding stuff, it gets cool. PROTIP: The number keys let you change forms without having to stop and sing. This is so useful, I really wish I had known about it before I beat most of the game.
Buy this game.

Clear Sky sucks, but man if you haven't yet played Shadow of Chernobyl get on it. One of the best FPS games ever. And it's so freaking hard at the start, but once you get used to it then it's a blast. Call of Pripyat is good too.
