I participated and was actually going to make a short blog about it tomorrow since it was partially inspired by the random Starforge stream.

Here's the link: I Want To See Space

Since I just won a copy of Devil May Cry 4, I figured this would be a good time to give back some.

• Magicka
• Home !!!! SORT OF OK PICK !!!!
• Krater
• Mark of the Ninja !!!! HOT PICK !!!!
• Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet !!!! PRETTY GOOD PICK !!!!
• Hard Reset
• Jolly Rover
• Vertex Dispenser
• Darwinia
• Multiwinia
• DEFCON
• Uplink
• Kung Fu Strike - The Warrior's Rise
• Dungeon Defenders (and maybe all the DLC???)
• Nightsky
• Sword and Sworcery !!!! HOT PICK !!!!

These all end in a week.

@Landon: It's even more upbeat and colorful than anything else Shin Megami Tensei. I might wrong, but something about anime characters dancing around to playful music certainly seems like it would appeal to a larger audience than silhouettes and typography. Then again this all based on my assumption that this stuff appeals to the broader anime fans at all.

@Zeik: That's why I said it was more the cut scenes (ski/beach trip, hot springs) that were about broadening the audience. Especially since those are the things that are easiest things to advertise to people who aren't already fans of the series. They definitely made P3 a game a lot more people could play but I think they're using P4's story and characters to further achieve that mass appeal. I guess it's more that P3 was successfully made with a broader audience in mind and P4 is just further iteration on that idea. Sort of like with Elder Scrolls.

@Animasta said:

Persona 3.

I would say Persona 4 aims even broader and that seems to be successful. Although I haven't played it, all the new cutscenes (like the intro) in P4 Golden seem to aim for an even broader audience than the original.

You could also argue that League of Legends has streamlined a lot when compared to its DOTA roots and that thing is one of the biggest games in the world right now.

I had to restart the on-rails turret chapter of Metro 2033 multiple times because I would hit checkpoints with only a couple hits left. I eventually turned the difficulty all the way down because I just didn't want to deal with it anymore. Is the slime corridor after that? Because I don't remember having any problems with the game past that point.

@ez123: I'm pretty sure it just says you already own the game and doesn't redeem the code.

I think this is the first time the majority of my extra codes for games I willingly bought. Saints Row and Cave Story are even a couple of my favorite games!

This song might be jam packed with a bunch of different games or maybe they're all Space Invader sounds, I'm not really sure.

There were two new indie bundles this week except I already owned pretty much every game in them! My personal favorite from the group is Sword & Sworcery. It's also the only one I've played.

While most of the game was a whole lot of fun, the part in Cave Story where

absolutely killed me.
