Let me show you through these halls, my friend, where treasures of indie gaming await...
Someone do my job at getting people to buy SpaceChem (which to add it one more time, is awesome and one of the best puzzle games I've ever played) while I am out to buy some food.

Any opinions on the Might and Magic Pack?

Heroes V is a great game if you like turn based strategy/RPG. It's a lot like King's Bounty, except with smaller maps. Can also br played multiplayer.

I'm all over SpaceChem at that price, I recommend it to anyone who is even tangentially interested in puzzle games.

Well, it could always pop back up another day, but the similarity to the other achievement led me to believe it was them having fun.

Two days and nothing that I don't already own has caught my eye yet. I put $50 in my Steam wallet yesterday evening; DO YOU WANT MY MONEY OR NOT?!

Man i dont know.. its like i should want to buy Spacechem, i really should, but for some reason it looks way complicated to a level of boredom. Looks like school, and i hated school :(

Am i wrong? it doesnt strike me as a "FUN" game, but i do love puzzlers..

How would you rank HoMMV + Expansions, King's Bounty: The Legend and King's Bounty: Armored Princess + Expansion?

Bought KOTOR.

I already know the ending twist (who doesn't); will I still be able to enjoy the story?

Its alright. It shows its age a bit, but on the other hand it has some of the last examples of BioWare doing anything approaching non-linear level design.

Has Dwarfs?! always been 50% off in the sale? Not buying just yet if it may go cheaper in the daily deals, but I see it's part of today's tickets and 50% off right now.

new deals each day, but once the initial 24 hours of them going on daily deal sale are up, they go back to 'regular' sale price.

KotoR is a pain the ass to get to run properly if you're using Win7.

I've never been able to play my copy for more than an hour. :(

Thanks, you just kept me from buying it. I don't think I would've ever played it anyway.

Most likely due to the snafus rolling it out yesterday, just making sure everything was up for a full 24 hours most likely. They usually leave the previous days up for a small period of time.

I've only played the demo, but- if you're able to go one step at a time through puzzles, you'll enjoy it. There's very little "now what do I do?" and more "how should I make this do this".

Thinking about biting on the JC2 DLC for around $2. Played and beat the game, loved it, so maybe the DLC will add some incidentive to go back to it.

Don't waste your tickets on the Dwarfs?! DLC, if you launch the game, the DLC is there already, you just don't own it unless you buy it with tickets or get all the DLC achievements, it expires on the 22nd, so plenty of time.


Getting the achievement for the ticket on the other hand SUCKS BALLS, luckily there isn't a timer, so you can be patient.

Well it is hard. You're gonna think. And it doesn't hold your hand as (maybe) it should. But boy is it challenging. Thinking-over-solutions-while-working hard.

So for confirmation, does getting any of these prizes take your tickets away from the grand prize? I'm too afraid to find out for myself.

Which DLC for JC2 is worth the $0.25? I'd guess all for the price of admission?
Click to expand...
I'd like to know as well. I'm definitely in for JC2, but is any of the DLC worth it? Seems like it's just a bunch of extra items.
