The Humble Bundle is interesting this time with Wii U and 3DS games available including Stealth Inc 2, Guacamele, Steam World Dig, along with several other interesting indie titles. Plus, a few that have not yet been attached to the Bundle.

There are more 3DS games than Wii U games, but it's enough to be worth it on either platform if you're only interested in one or the other.

Average is about $10 as of this posting to get everything. It's worth the price for what you get easily. Especially for Nintendo store items.

Picked this one up. Well worth the price of admission, though notably Moon is an episodic game and the first one is the only piece included in the deal. :sweat2:

Far as I know, there is no part 2 yet.

Edit: Confirmed. The rest isn't available yet. There are only trailers for parts 2-4 in the E-shop. Part 1 goes for $8.99 on it's own, that's only a couple bucks less than the whole package. Well worth the price for the bundle indeed.

Playing through Steamworld Dig on the 3DS currently. I played it on the PC a while back, but it's neat in 3D and a great toilet title. Already in the last area and didn't miss any caves on the way down. I'll probably do Guacamelee next, that's a fun title too.

If Nintendo was in on this, what they should've done was have the option to include a GameCube Adapter for $35+ or something.

For what? If I want that I'd just use the old Wii. It still works and the picture isn't going to get any better than that anyway.

I don't think Nintendo had a lot to do with it. I mean, they were obviously involved on some level, but this is all indie dev games. Pretty sure those publishers had more to do with it than Nintendo did. They were just happy to cooperate for some good charity PR most likely.

Aw man, I don't own a Wii U and I already bought all the 3DS games in the bundle.

That sort of thing happens to me all the time with these bundles. Fortunately, I only had the games I had for this on PC.

This was great for me because they are great games for playing away from the computer in short bursts.

Anyone have experience with Might and Magic? The entire franchise is on sale right now, and I'm thinking of getting one of the games.

Which is the height of the series?

I'm only familiar with the Heroes side, and out of them I'd recommend Heroes V. More factions, better campaign, plus it doesn't need Uplay. VI had marginally better graphics, but that was pretty much the only thing I felt had improved.

VI and VII it's a toss up between either one of those.

The early games in the proper series are grid based RPGs like Legend of Grimrock or Daggerfall, until MM 6 which uses freeroaming gameplay like Morrowind. Combat is turned based in these games, they aren't really action RPGs.

If you want to get into the series rather than just one game, first five are skipable unless you really want to dive into the lore. Even then I'd skip the first two at least. They are kind of painful to play unless you're super nostalgic for them.

M&M Dark Messiah is an action RPGs with a high difficulty curve, but they are fun. There are certain builds that make the game easier as enemies are tough, stealth and ranged are the recommended playstyles. If you want a more action style RPG just get that one. It's a good introduction to the world and lore anyway.

M&M X reverts to the grid based gameplay of the earlier entries with some new trappings. It's decent, not as polished as Grimrock, but still fun if you like that sort of game. It looks better than previous entries graphics wise, but that's not saying much.

Basically, if you can sit through and play Morrowind today, you'll probably enjoy Might and Magic, even though they aren't as large or as good as that game is and use turn based combat. I believe most of the later entries can be beaten in less than an hour if you know exactly what to do and what you can skip, but all will give you hours of gameplay if you dive in and get into the meat of the game without rushing through them.

Steam Summer Sale is on. Lock your wallets up, they'll thank you in the end.

Yeah. Pretty much a decently done idle/click fest game. I haven't spent much time on it, but it seems to look like a fine time waster for five minutes every couple of hours or so.

Do you have to play it to earn the deals, or can I piggyback off of the community's efforts? I'm bugged and keep get errors everytime I try to play.

What are everyone's hopes for the sale anyways?

As much as I hated what it represented before, I'm hoping for a ESO sale. Now that it's subscription free, and has a bunch of updates to fix flaws in its release, I'm actually pretty interested.

My hopes for the sales don't matter, I'm broke. As for the game, you might want to try getting into a friend's game; that's how I got around my connection issues. Once you connect, you're participating whether you're active about it or not.

I haven't even looked at the sale. Everything that is of interest to me I already have this year, so there's no point. Not really interested in picking up any indie games that I won't play as I have plenty sitting on my HDD as it is.

Tom Clancy Bundle at Humble Bundle. Get all of Splinter Cell, Rainbow 6, and Ghost Recon, plus End War for $10. This is a great deal for these games.

All games are Uplay Keys.

Higher $75 tier nets a preorder for Rainbow 6 Siege, a T-Shirt, and a %66 off Uplay store coupon...meh.

If they were STEAM, I would have considered buying them. But not this. Oh NO. Not this junk.

Really don't get how Uplay is any worse than Steam. It works basically the exact same way and has never given me any more troubles than Steam does in any regard.

They are equivalent evils and I'm not sure why one is shit on so much more than the other.

Steam has better sales it's true, but the two clients and DRM are functionally exactly the same in my experience. Neither is any more invasive or difficult to use than the other.

Right now I have to reinstall Uplay every time I want to play Far Cry 3. Something's wrong with it.
