Nice abstract design! http://i.imgur.com/yuVe2.png 

Amazing. 

Those won't load for me =/ 

You're using a broken browser then? 

Chrome. I see a bunch of grey squares. What's supposed to be happening? 

I'm using Chrome as well and no problems. Latest flash etc?

It's a single-screen platformer where the level gets modified as you progress through it (no screen change), lasting about 5 minutes to play through.

Some neat little ideas, but the controls are a bit naff. 

Direct2Drive.com is in their 4th week of their month long gaming sale-a-bonanza, and this week looks pretty good. Mass Effect 1 + 2 bundle for $35, Aion for $25 (any good, Jago?), Fallout 3 for $15, etc.

Nice little sweep of games. Anyone know if Sacred 2 or Divinity 2 are worth their sale price? Or Civ 4 Complete Collection for $10?

Fuck, whatever, I'll probably get em anyway. 

sacred 2 is fun for mindless killing. there's a story, but you really don't need to pay attention to enjoy the game.
there are a lot of ways to develop each class, so there's a lot of replayability. 

Worked for me, pretty good fun, I evicted the fuck out of that bitch.

Minus a million points for the bit where you have to hit the globes in order, covering the whole length of the level only to have pressed them in the wrong order. Also, there is not way of telling what the correct order is. 

That was crap. I wanted to hit stuff while moving as well.

Good idea though. 

I didn't like it much either. In retrospect i realized your worst case (if you're clever about which order you attempt to hit the globes) is to have to make the trip down and back up 3 times (if you keep guessing wrong) but still, i agree that that was a bit too tedious.

Some of these have already been posted here. 

Awesome pay what you want offer:

Zwiffle: Aion is great for the first 26-27 levels, until it turns into a grindfest of an epic proportions, which gets progressively worse with each level. NCSoft also has non-existing "customer support" whose sole reason for being there seems to be to insult the remaining paying customers. 

to be precise, you can't pay less than $0.01. Or negative amounts of money, for that matter.

Of course, that also means you NEED an account at one of their pay thingies, which are mostly evil or very US centric (or is theresome way to let amazon.de handle the transaction?). What am I gonna doooooo!? 

 

 

I bought it.

> grindfest of an epic proportions, which gets progressively worse with each level

isn't that why you play these games?

Is it true that Aion uses the Cryengine? 

If my scraping is correct the pack is currently doing $135 per minute. That's 8000 dollars per hour. Pretty good for some "old" indie games, eh? 

isn't that why you play these games?
No, a well-made MMO masks the grind with a lot of things and makes it as subtle as possible.

Is it true that Aion uses the Cryengine?
Yes. 

Since I'm pretty much a non-gamer these days and not been too much into RTS I guess I won't play it in the end - but it does seem to be a game with some interesting concepts!

First impression: nice atmosphere, way too hard. For me, anyways ;-) died maybe 20 times in the first 3 levels. 

Nice one, way to go. Five games for one dollar! (nah, I payed more) Though wtf at the $1000+ donations.
