Crap. I was going to get Tom Clancy's GRAW 1 and 2 for 2 bucks each yesterday, but decided to wait until today to get them. Bad idea. Now they're at 6 dollars each. The difference there is 8 dollars total, so I'm going to wait for a Mega Sale or something.

 

Ah, unlucky. Yesterday was the Ubisoft's Ghost Recon day, so you'd probably have to wait a little while for another mega sale. Maybe they'll put it back at that price for the Summer sale though.

 

Can anyone help tell me which of these games I should pick up? Trying to keep it at around 18 or 19 bucks...

Scoregasm (2.99, tried the demo and its a very fun DSS)
Binding of Isaac (2.00, not sure how fun this will be or if i like the art)
Bit Trip Runner (3.99, but i think it'll go lower sometime, looks kinda fun)
Super Meat Boy (5.10, but looks like its gonna be worth it)
Dejobaan Complete Pack (8.00 with 4 games and a dlc, though i more want the AaaAaaa games, though the other stuff looks possibly fun).

Any help is appreciated. Also any other recommendations, as I have like nothing from the Bcwemay sale...

Also IndieGalaV is up and for a buck you get four good looking games. More for BTA and BTA2.

Thanks!

 

Oh gosh. If you pick only one it has to be Super Meat Boy. However, if you don't want to rage to the point you smash your keyboard in half, go with.... I still think you should try out Super Meat Boy xP Okay fine. If you want your keyboard intact, go with Scoregasm if you thought it was fun. If you're questioning the art of Binding of Isaac, STOP THERE and never think about it again.

But then again... Super Meat Boy calls.

 

i don't know the other games very well, but The Binding of Isaac is really great if you're into SHMUPS and arcade type games.

 

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Will for sure pick up Scoregasm and Super Meat Boy(thanks to your recommendations mystiksun). I'll also pick up Binding of Isaac (thanks to Skymuffin's suggestion and the fact it's $2). With the Dejobaan Complete Pack it puts it at $18 exactly, so I think I'll be going this route, unless anyone could suggest doing something else with that $8?

 

Curious question: Does anyone know if the Civ V Gods & Kings expansion will be included in the GOTY? When I bought it I got the GOTY on the assumption that that would be what would happen, but now that it is available for pre-purchase on Steam I'm beginning to doubt that. Still holding out hope, but what do y'all think?
And:
Happy Memorial Day

 

I doubt it as well. Mainly because the GOTY already has some DLC (Korea and Wonders of the Ancient World) missing. I don't know why it's missing, but I'm just going to assume that no more content will be added to the GOTY edition.

 

I just got Super Meat Boy about a week ago and I'm loving it. Already on the last world. I wouldn't say it's ridiculously hard, not like I Wanna Be the Guy.

Although I haven't unlocked all of the portals, played the dark maps or got all the bandages, it's a very fun game. Plus it has a lot of replay ability.

 

A Portal movie! I haven't watched it yet, so don't yell at me if it's bad

 

Made it into the CS:GO beta even though I only put in 120 hours into source xD

It's really fun, but with the huge graphics update, my computer's lagging a bit >.<

 

I got an invite from a friend. It's pretty fun but I haven't played source in a long time, and I didn't put even 120 hours into it. Go ahead and call me a newb!

 

I gave an extra pass to a school friend. I was disappointed since everyone I knew had given away their friends passes. Luckily I got in early.

 

lol I was taking the whole 'noob' approach and on the survey I put that I've never played Counter-strike hoping they'd pick me so they could get a "new to the game" feedback

Guess that didn't work lol

 

It's great. Bought, but haven't played the Missing Link DLC, so I can't speak for that one though.
