Anyone have Orcs Must Die! ? Looks like fun, but I was curious if anyone had some hands on impressions?

 

[Bebpo]

You want Freespace.

http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/freespace_expansion

Played Freespace.

Want something made in the last 6 years that is similar. Why isn't ANYBODY (even indie devs) making games like these? Resource-wise, they shouldn't be that pricey to make.

 

[Sober]

Okay, I'm looking at the Racing games on Steam, anyone have any impressions (since mostly all I have is Burnout: Paradise)?

-GRID (still a daily)?
-Need For Speed games (which ones to get/avoid?)?
-FUEL?
-Flatout: Carnage?

It's incredibly good, and has a great rep on gaf, tons of threads and discussions on it.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

I know it's more than $5, but I've still got to recommend Skydrift at $6.69.

It's a great mash of Mario Kart style racing with the epic style of tracks of Hydro Thunder. All this while flying. Controls are solid and arcadey and easy to get into. Has a couple of people online occasionally, but there needs to be more people playing this game.

I support this post! I managed to get into an online match with about 3-4 other players during the holiday sale and it was a lot of fun. I wish this game had a bigger community. The single player racing is still worth the price of admission though.

I do think it was a mistake to make game modes like Team Deathmatch and Deathmatch DLC. That should have been a free title update.

As far as I know, there aren't any.

There have been a few, even one by Square-Enix, and I'm not even talking Edios, but none of them have been particularly good.

fucking awesome and one of the best games of the year in my book.

that is all

Yeah, Project Sylpheed. I'd try it if I had a 360. I heard it wasn't too bad.

Dinner Date $1.25

Julian Luxemburg has prepared a dinner for two at his place – but things go awry when the date does not show up and he is left waiting at his dinner table, the clock’s ticking growing unbearably loud.

I've always been curious about this game. Does anyone have impressions?

Faerie Solitaire $1.00

Have magical fun in the addicting Card game, Faerie Solitaire! Find and raise a Faerie pet and repopulate the magical land of Avalon using the resources found by clearing each level.

For a dollar this game is a steal. Buy it for yourself and 4 other friends. It's a lot of fun.

Altitude - $2.50
Multiplayer 2D dogfighting game

It's much more complex a game than it initially seems. And there's still a good community going. Totally recommend it.

There's also a free demo if you'd like to try it first.

Joe Molotov says it's pretty terrible.

How's Hoard? game looks pretty neat but I don't think I've heard much on it.

Oh well. I'm sure I'll get a dollar's worth of entertainment!

 

[AndyMoogle]

It's not that great. It gets old fast. You should be able to find a game that is more fun at that price.

 

[EternalGamer]

Hoard is really great, especially as a multiplayer game.

Very original and fun and has more depth than it first seems with which buildings you decide to destroy or keep so that the cities generate more money. Also works great with a controller if you have one.

I mean, you get to fly around a medieval map and burn down country side. What's not to like?

Me and friends have played many hours of it. Has a nice co-op time based mode, and competitive modes. Plus it has very easy invite/party multiplayer system (something that a lot of indie games lack, sadly). It's a fantastic 'appetizer" game before you settle into something else and it is highly original. It is, without a doubt, worth the price of a coffee.

 

[Sober]

It's not that great. It gets old fast. You should be able to find a game that is more fun at that price.

It's a good time waster since most play modes end after 10 or so minutes.

Try the demo, the gameplay is pretty much all there, just not the maps or game modes.

Did you mean Renegade Ops? I think you meant Renegade Ops.

Too bad the $2 Amazon Sale on it is already over. It was a steal at that price.

 

[Card Boy]

Did you mean Renegade Ops?

Its better trust me on this. I never lie.

 

[Volcynika]

Its better trust me on this. I never lie.

I have both and Renegade Ops is far better, so I disagree, sir!

 

[EternalGamer]

Its better trust me on this. I never lie.

I admit I haven't played the game. I did watch the videos. It looks like a zombie shooter.

Meanwhile Renegade Ops is like controlling RV vehicles while you send in nukes and trash cities with fantastic physics. It's just plain fun to drive the vehicles around even outside of blowing everything to shrapnel.

 

[ElectricThunder]

Damn, and here I thought my wishlist was pretty well straightened out for a small order early tomorrow morning and now there's so very many things I'd totally missed----no way in hell to get so many with my limited funds so it is time to swell the list more than I'll end up shrinking it and see how the rest of 2012's Steam sales go!

Seeing the release date on that was 2009 suddenly really makes me feel old.

 

[PaulLFC]

FEAR 3 is £4.99 over at GreenManGaming. It's Steamworks, might want to wait a bit though as their site's getting overloaded at the moment.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Beep looks really cool. Anyone ever play it?

 

[Benedict]

What are the prices for Sega Genesis packs?

 

[AcridMeat]

Plain Sight is $1.24

The community is dead but it is a really fun game

edit: Would love to have a gaf game going.

Capsized looks alright, anyone here have it?

I was unbelievably excited for the game before it came out for some reason and I've put about an hour into it, if that says anything. The atmosphere and art is great, the game itself is pretty unrefined.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Anyone know anything about Westward IV: All Aboard?

$1.74 for an RTS set in the Old West.

 

[jgminto]

I'm so pissed. I'm missing out on Gemini Rue by $0.50.

NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 is the one to get.

FUEL was great when I played it on 360 (so don't know how the PC version is). Huge open world to explore and plenty of races. Might lack a bit in variation after a while. If you like to just drive around and get the collectables, you will spent hours in it.

Haven't played the other two.

 

[Toma]

Hey, can you add Children of the Nile to the OP? Fantastic simulation strategy game for 2,49.

 

[arts&crafts]

Saira
Cave Story+
Aquaria
Aztaka

Awesome thanks

 

[BobJustBob]

Great thread, thanks. But you messed up the tags on Tidalis and swapped the link and the image. It deserves better!

Tidalis $1.99

It looks like just another match-3 game but there are a ton of special blocks and rulesets and it can be seriously sadistic. Anyone who's interested, grab the (very small) demo and go to the custom game screen and hit the random button to see how crazy things can get.

 

[AcridMeat]

Age of Booty is $1.99

Another game that has single player but looks like if you get a couple friends in could be great.

edit: Has SecuROM :/

 

[Fou-Lu]

Awesome thanks

Cave Story+ is amazing, but it's not as close to metroidvania as people say. Aquaria on the other hand is the best metroidvania I've ever played, beating out all metroid and castlevania titles.

 

[shintoki]

Picked up Dark Void for the 3$, the impressed turned me off, but it looks to still have its charmed.

Well I don't know, but someone on my friend's list wrote this recommendation:

"If your own life isn't sucky enough, you can pay $5 to experience 20 minutes of someone elses sucky life."

It has as much replayability of The Graveyard. Don't waste your time.
