I think Sanctum would be more fun if I could actually get some co-op action going on. It was as fun as any other tower defense for awhile, but it got repetitive once I started to figure out the optimal way of doing things. A.R.E.S. is a lot like a modern version of Mega Turrican. I really liked it, but it was way too short.
Sanctum is probably worth the $5 on its own (plus they are adding the DLC for free when they reach sales goals).
Gemini Rue is pretty cool so far as well; its like someone made a game from 1989 in 2011 (though the sound-scape of the game is top notch if you can forgive the bad-ish voice acting).
Haven't tried the other 2 yet.
Also, fair warning, I claimed that they all give you Steam, Desura and direct download, but Sanctum is only on Steam.
Steam is doing a Halloween sale right now to. It has a lot of the games I want at a 75% discounted rate, but I kinda don't want to spend money right now, me being a poor college kid and all. To put this as a metaphor, its like Steam waving a Golden Delicious apple in my face, but it wants 10 out of my 100 Red Delicious apples for it.
its has a Pay the minimum or more pricing scheme (with the price being affected by how much people choose to pay). It started out a $2 and it is currently at $6.
Comes with Sanctum, Gemini Rue, A.R.E.S. and Nimbus.
Gives you Desura and Steam keys as well as direct download (so you can give the keys to other people if you already own them / don't care about connecting them to Desura and Steam).
Stupid indie bundles. I already own half that bundle! Bundle the games I don't own, fools!
Looks like a good game, but I'll wait until they inevitably increase the size of the bundle.
There has literally not been one time when that was a strategy that paid off in anything but leaving you with some time you're not playing the game. In fact, it often costs you, as people who buy the bundles early ALWAYS get the bonuses, but people who buy later sometimes have to beat the average.
I've played about 20 minutes of it so far and it is pretty fun. The style and the environment destruction are awesome. I could see myself playing a quick room or two between classes for a few until I get bored.
See, I know not of these things. I guess I shall purchase now. I like extra shinies.
And just like that, my point is proven. You get Blocks that Matter and Binding of Issac free if you've already purchased the bundle, or if you haven't, you have to beat the average.
