A Vampire Story is -80% and based on the first two hours it's a decent traditional point & click adventure. Puzzles feel logical and it's quite polished. Lots of characters with "silly" voices but it wasn't as annoying as I feared.

I suppose it's worth getting if you liked The Book of Unwritten Tales etc.

My sole purchase of the sale so far. Was made by some ex-LucasArts people including one of the lead artists on The Dig and The Curse of Monkey Island.

Vertical Drop Heroes HD is pretty neat, you have to make it from the top of a level to the bottom of a level and get out the exit, to make it to the next level ala Spelunky, with a lot more combat involved. Although a lot of it can be avoided and there are acheivements for getting through levels without killing things so it's more my playstyle choice.

edit: it's a roguelike so you get to unlock new classes and perks, you can purchase persistent upgrades with currency collected throughout each level/from killed npcs; also you can levelup your character (start each game at level 1) which increases numbers

Our Darker Purpose is probably the best Binding of Isaac clone I've played. It's still not as good as BoI, though.

Icewind Dale EE is $20 on Steam, but $10 for the exact same game on Android. Was this the case with Bladur's Gate EE at release too? I imagine it would run pretty well on the latest Samsung Tab, so I may have to pick those up there instead. Starting a 100+ hour RPG is pretty daunting though.

The same pricing was used for BG:EE but BG:EE had some DLC content that was included in the PC version for free but not in the tablet version where it was an IAP. Also the tablet version came out a lot later. Don't know what's up with IWD:EE being cheaper on the tablet since from what I can tell it doesn't have any extra content...

Replaying Risk of Rain after this recent update, and this game is still awesome and hugely impressive for basically being made by two guys. The music is great, too. I really hope they do a Risk of Rain 2 with more levels, more items, and a somewhat more balanced progression of gameplay. (I feel like choosing your items should be the default, and unlocking new items for choice to be part of the progression, and the Artifact that is currently Command should do the opposite, randomizing items but opening up the whole pool to you). Also, without the 5x damage artifact the gameplay is a bit too slow. Other than that, this game rules.

e: they seem to have removed the immunity phase from the final boss; a good call since now you don't have to wait around doing nothing for 30 seconds until he drops his shield.

They are going to raise 12,000 god drat dollars for this. That is not a good or bad sentiment on my part, it's just a statement of the facts.

It's a lot more fun than Payday 2 for one. Also you have to get from point A to B while killing herds of zombies. Holing up somewhere is generally not a good idea. The special enemies are a lot more interesting than the ones in Payday 2 as well.

I'd say it's in the same co-op genre but plays completely differently, really worth getting if you're into that kind of gameplay as the game's great. It has an absolutely attrocious online community though so play only with friends.

Hell and Damnation (HD) is the remake but by a different studio. It's worse in design as they changed some levels, removed some bosses and tweaked it in the wrong way. It also doesn't include the official expansion and I'm not even sure it includes all the chapters from the main game. However it's way better visually and if you haven't played the original - it's actually still a good game. So if you like contemporary graphics more in your FPSes then get HD, if you want better gameplay, flow and overall a better game - get Black.

I loved Payday 1, and really enjoyed Payday 2., btu found L4D2 to just be somewhat boring. I think I liked the mission structure of Payday more than the moving arena shooter gamepply of L4D.

That said, you absolutely need nice people if you play Payday. You cannot have fun without actual nice people. L4D you just run around and shoot things.

I'm seriously considering buying Diablo 3 w/ Reaper of Souls right now from a key seller for $48.21, has it ever been cheaper elsewhere and should I wait?
I had some fun with the starter edition and I'm just really, really itching for a hew ARPG to play since Torchlight 2 has no replayability past the one playthrough I did.
