I'm not sure if that's the lowest price ever on that one (there's a Deluxe Edition too, mind you), but if you want to jump into the AC series, 2 is a good place to start. There's nothing really wrong with the first game (although people will tell you otherwise), but you're not really missing out on a lot of the story if you start with 2. If you end up liking the series, you can always play 1 later on. It's still good, but it doesn't grab you and make you want to keep playing as much as 2 does (it can get a bit repetitive, which is the biggest argument against it).

Appreciate the response man.

I ended up picking up the THQ deal since I didn't have any of them nor ever really played any of them besides SR, probably not going to play Metro 2033 so I wish the codes were separate but I can't complain. I forgot about the code too so that sold it to me. So far its been worth it from playing Warhammer alone. I'm feelin' it so far, will have to pick up the expansions when they go on sale.

& yeah I didn't know the first AC had that much of a mixed reception. Its usually the first game that sets of a series so that's weird. I picked it up too but ts not Steam compatible though so I'm trying to get a refund and just get Deus Ex HR Augmented Ed. instead lol.

So the Avencast bonus in Build A Bundle 3 looks pretty interesting. However, I'm, not too sure what 2 games, what would you guys go for (excluding the pony game lol) ?

I'd get 99 levels to hell and either Detour, CreaVures, or Chrome. Depends on what type of games you like. I've heard good things about 99 levels to hell, but it's in alpha phase (you'll get the full game too when it's finished).

Should have mentioned I am after Steam keys only. I think I'll get Creavures and APOX, thanks

(Avoiding Chrome as not a fan of what looks like a generic shooter)

Project Eternity Kickstarter Pre-Order. It's an isometric, party-based RPG set in a new fantasy world developed by Obsidian Entertainment.

Right now if you pledge you can save $5 and get a digital copy via Steam. Once the early bird special sells out the price goes up to $25.

Curse you all and your good Kickstarter linking! *shakes fist*

Technically, no publisher owns them.
Activision, Atari, Sega, EA, Square-Enix -- none of those kind of big corp's own them.

I don't get why anyone would ask that when the big part of this trend was kicked off by Double Fine.

Fair enough. Is there a gameplay video or in-game pics somewhere?

It's....a kickstarter. While some kickstarters have started with their games half done, most are using the site in order to fund something they're going to make, not something that's already made.

Nope. Not yet.

Obsidian is trying to get an old-school isometric party-based RPG funded, which basically NO [major] publisher will greenlight.
InXile did the same w/ Wasteland 2.
Plus, both Avellone and Fargo have both spoke highly against the traditional-publisher model, of late in interviews.
So, yeah - these guys kind of have to go the non-traditional route (Kickstarter).

Maybe this will be a bloody wake-up call to the major publishers (EA, Activision, Atari, etc)...
YES, there's obviously a BIG market for this kind of game!

EDIT:
It'd be pretty hilarious if Obsidian & InXile don't spent too much (in modern $ standards) to development their game, yet make TONS of money off of it.
I'm betting the major publishers will definitely take notice, if (and probably when) this does happen.

Ok, I'm sorry. I guess I didn't think it was unreasonable to want to see, at the least, an in-game picture before spending $20. Obsidian has a well deserved great reputation and obviously doesn't need to.

Thanks, got in early for the first time in a while! Happy to add some of those Desura games to the collection.

Ok, CAG's, I'm having the "on the fence" problem. I see Metro 2033 is a mere $3 on GMG with the "GMG25-1BW0K-K1A3G" Code. I've actually been waiting, somewhat foolishly, for a sub-$5 price, and this is excellent.

However, the game received mixed reviews from CAG's in the past, and, with the hype mostly gone, I am wondering: Is the game fun and worth my time? ($3 aside, that is; I know a great many games are "worth it" for $3, but I'm more concerned with the fun factor.)

It's silly, I know, but, sometimes, I can't push myself off the fence.

I made a collection for the greenlight games; so far the only two I could find are BMD and CTDV. Feel free to upvote and maybe we will get Steam keys in the future.

I don't have an answer, but I don't think this is silly at all. Regardless of the price, your time is worth something. Whether it's $3, $30, or even free, you still don't want to waste that time when you could be doing something more worthwhile or fun.
