Anyone play this and have an opinion? Looks interesting.

Never played it, but I see that it has a demo.

NecroVision was in an indie bundle, I'm guessing Indie Gala: The Reckoning or possibly Indie Gala: The Reckoninger. It's sat in my backlog.

Obviously I haven't played it. I'd be terribly surprised if anybody actually has

I've played about halfway through the first one. It's actually the reason I bought a gaming mouse since there is a melee weapon mechanic built into the damage system. Basically do combos with shoot, melee, etc. builds up your like bonus meter and you can do cooler attacks, etc. I like the game. Sort of a supernatural nazi game which is nothing new really, but I enjoy this genre. The game looks good, and is pretty fun for me. That said, probably just a run of the mill FPS for most people. Plenty of gameplay videos online though if you want to see what it's about.

Just read this and it's good to hear. But I will still wait and see if Ubisoft follows through with it.

That's precisely one of the reasons I've held off on buying Anno. The other is that the Steam discounts on it have been pretty weak.

Dang! Double Fine announced their next new game, Middle Manager of Justice for ios. It wrongly went live and now is pulled until the weeks-away release date. So some people have an early untuned build.

It's F2P and looks like a mix of Coconut Queen (more like Evil Genius really) and Freedom Force.

Okay, so here is the response I got from Steam support regarding the Torchlight II bundle:

Hello, Thank you for contacting Steam Support. Thank you for taking the time to report this issue. Currently, the missing subscription is appearing about 6 - 48 hours after purchase. We are aware of the problem and are investigating the issue further. We thank you for continued patience. Please exit completely out of Steam then log back into Steam to re-test the issue. If you have any further questions, please let us know - we will be happy to assist you.

The missing copy did show up for me when I started up Steam today, so I think it's fine to buy- there's just a chance that you'll have to wait several hours for one of your giftable copies to show up.

Added NecroVisioN to OP.

I finally beat the main storyline of Borderlands! It only took me two years (bought the game summer 2010) :P

So how is Necrovision? Looks kind of interesting. (EDIT: Haha, I need to refresh the page before posting)

Yay, hopefully it doesn't disappoint or only have games I already own.

Also thank ing god UBI got rid of that DRM. I may just buy PC games from them now if they scrap it from all of their games. Well at least the ones I want to buy .

I haven't bought the latest indie royale or indie gala so I need something to fill my indie cravings . I think I actually reached the point where I am not buying indie bundles to try random games because I own so many, but instead just looking for games I want.

As well as Zombie Island, Knoxx, and Claptrap DLC?

Claptrap is the real conclusion to the storyline and Knoxx is not to be missed for the humorous dialogue.

Nah, haven't touched these yet. Haha. I might try to in the next few days, but things are going to get pretty crazy in my life soon.

I have to say, the Ubisoft DRM article and the "leak" of the next Humble Indie Bundle make for nice workday-ending surprises.

The big heist day coming soon? "In just a little bit, baby, I'll be able to get you anything you want. Anything on Steam at all. Of course you won't be able to play anything because we'll be running from the law, and you know how the offline mode is awful."

@sunghost That sale is still going on apparently. I'm not sure when it is supposed to end.

I forgot I had the game till I clicked on the page and I saw that wonderful green bar. "You already own Spirits." Damn straight, insensient program, damn straight.

But I agree with those other issues; thanks for mentioning them.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that was a big issue with the improper save file/quest mixing issues. Thank god for Willow Tree and the fact that I had beaten the game once before I even tried the multiplayer, so it doesn't matter that the initial shield quest is still on my level 69 characters. I remember in the announcements for BL2 awhile back they confirmed that the questing file issues would be resolved, so I shall soon retire my trusty .exe for Willow Tree.

I'd buy it if the Humble Bundle for Android that included this didn't also give Steam keys (might have been BTA only, but I always BTA if I buy a bundle), so everyone can do their happy dance and frolick with some circumspect woodland creatures on trampolines made of chocolate!

Thanks for this! Picked up the season pass. I am LOVING the base game, if anyone is still on the fence.

I got to play a little bit of Darksiders 2 the other night at a friend's... and I have to say I had a lot of fun with it. I didn't get very far into the game (maybe 30 minutes), but it definitely made me want to finally go and dig the first game out of my Steam backlog.

Midweek madness: Sword and Sorcery EP mini review.

The music is fantastic. It's almost worth it for the soundtrack alone. And the game, from what I played was a nice indie adventure style game. it's probably best in it's original iOS format as touch does make sense with the way it controls, but is fine with the mouse. And it's conveniently broken down into 10-20m chapters as well. And it was prob in an indie bundle previously, but if you want it, for the soundtrack and the game, it's a pretty nice combo deal.
