The Perils Of Summer
By megalowho 1 Comments
Steam's summer sale is here, time to click buttons and buy more stuff! Tried to only pull the trigger on great deals this time to maximize my $$ and also to hopefully discover something new. Here's my purchases, their price points and general impressions:
Flotilla $2.50
Broken Sword: Twin Pack (The Smoking Mirror, The Sleeping Dragon) $3.39
I've played and owned the first Broken Sword on multiple platforms, getting II and III at this price was too good to pass up.
Instant buy, so cheap for such a cool atmospheric game.
Grand Theft Auto IV $4.99
5 bucks almost felt like splurging but hey, GTA IV is still a great game and I bet it looks great on the PC.
Never played any of these titles, needless to say I'm quickly becoming a big fan. Most played games of the sale for me so far, amazing value.
Super Laser Racer $1.25
Screenshots looked alright, fast, a bit retro - why not, add it to the list.
Now things are getting hazier, but $1.50 is nothing and this actually seems like a cool little strategy game.
King's Bounty: The Legend $3.24
Also plowed through Episode 3: They Stole Max's Brain! of The Devil's Playhouse and that game continues to be something special, Telltale just seems to be pulling out all the stops. The first act in particular is probably the most memorable sequence of the series yet - Phoenix Wright would have been proud. This chapter does eventually move towards more traditional puzzle structures for the first time in the series which I kind of liked, nothing wrong with going to a proven formula as a breather from all the curveballs. Would play through again, for sure.
