Thief 4! *Splooge*

If it ever comes out, it will definitely drag my hardware forward with it.

It's been "in the works" for about 2 years now. It's being made this time by Eidos-Montreal, the same fine folk that did the Deus Ex reboot. Thief and Deus Ex are both Warren Spector games, so ... perhaps that's a good sign. Although with games being what they are today, I don't think we'll see any levels as difficult or complicated as Down in the Bonehoard.

But one can hope!

Indie Royale Ninja LIghtning Pack

It's Ninja Bee games

On Steam are Ancients of Ooga and Cloning Clyde

Others are Kingdom for Keflings and Ancients of Ooga

Band of Bugs has unlocked as a bonus in the lightning pack. Also not Steam redeemable.

Of the bunch, the only one that interests me at all is A Kingdom for Keflings, and it's not available on Steam. I believe I'm passing on this one.

Gamersgate has Darksiders for 5.00. 4.25 if you have the IGN discount. Steam redeemable.

Dang, I thought I read that Keflings was a GFWL title, but nope... Otherwise I'd buy the pack just for that. (I already have it on XBLA.)

Today's Square Enix deal is the Tomb Raider series at 75% off

Underworld - $4.99
Legend - $3.74
Anniversary - $2.49
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light - $3.74
DLC for GoL - $0.86

The Deus Ex-themed Manno-Technology Bundle for TF2 is also discounted this weekend. Not sure how much or what the price is.

Thoughts on the Tomb Raider games? I already have GoL, the other 3 worth picking up?

They're definitely worth picking up, I loved all 3. Make sure you disable DEP for Tomb Raider Legend and Anniversary though, I've had issues with them crashing if they weren't added to the exclusion list.

Thanks for the tip! I bought em all

NP, since you own GoL would you happen to know if the DLC is worth picking up? I've been having fun playing the main game co-op with my friend but wasn't sure if the DLC would be worth buying for us both to play co-op.

Today's Deal is The King's Quest Collection at 50% off ($9.99)

I can't help you there...I don't own any of them. Im not a big fan of challenge maps as DLC...if it added to the story I'd probably get it but....

On the 360 they released a character pack and a challenge map for free. Neither made me want to buy the others. The map wasn't as fun as anything in the main game, but it's possible that others are better.

Sigh...I don't think its ever been lower than 9.99. I'd love to own these....but it would just be for nostalgia....at 4.99 it would be a no brainer for me...I can't see myself paying 9.99.

i say i wont buy it now, but it will haunt me all night....must ...resist.

Random bit of info for you guys on the Tomb Raider games. If you are subscribed to Gamefly (or if you do a free trial), they just added a number of free Square-Enix games to their PC-download lineup that is included with any subscription. Among these new additions are the 3 most recent normal tomb raider games. There is no restrictions or extra cost for this as long as you have an active gamefly account.

You could get the "enhanced" versions of Kings Quest 1-3 here for free: www.adginteractive.com/games/games.html

If it helps you resist at all they will not work on any 64 bit version of Windows (really? in 2012? Really Activision?) and possibly it may not even work on Windows Vista or 7 32 bit. There's a disclaimer that

"* Some games in this collection may run under Windows XP 64 and Vista 32/64, but are not officially supported"

You can tell they haven't updated squat for the game in years since they don't even mention Windows 7 and act like Vista support is some new fangled thing.

Supposedly there are patches and DOSbox files you can find around the net to get them to run, but why jump through those hoops? I'm also told that the GOG versions are setup to run on Vista/7 32/64 with no problem.

I was all set to buy this bundle myself and also get one to gift to my niece and nephew but if the publisher can't even be bothered to get it to work any version of Windows for that has been released in the last 5 years than to hell with them.

Really? I got the Space Quest collection to work with my Windows 7 64-bit machine

Haven't played a Lara Croft game since the PSX days, not including a little time I spent with Anniversary. How are the more recent ones faring? I love Arkham City/Asylum and the Assassins Creed series. How do the Tomb Raiders stack up?

I'm just going off of what it says on the Steam page. There's a warning for Vista/7 uses to check the system requirements below and then it goes into those details. It may work now I don't know but honestly if they can't even be bothered to update the store page I don't want to risk it.
