It's not so much that the newer ones are worse, it's just that they are all basically just Armageddon again with some stuff tweaked or a handful of new weapons.
At least that's how it appears, I'll admit I have not played Revolution. Have they added anything significantly expansive or different?

I think that's the one where you have four classes of worm and you have to gain coin crates that drop in order to purchase weapons.

Also, they screwed up the ninja rope. It's now got rope physics.

Having only looked at the trailer video, Revolution is indeed the one with multiple classes, and it seems to imply that they have different amounts of weapons, equipment and health.

Ah, hell, I mixed up Revolution and Reloaded. Dammit, alliteration in sequel names. Revolution is basically Armageddon with new graphics, maps, and some new weapons.

Actually, only Reloaded is Armageddon once again. Worms World Party was actually a (IIRC cut down) version of Armageddon for Dreamcast, which got ported to PC and GBA. Similarly, Open Warfare was basically Armageddon for DS and PSP.

After WWP, a series of 3D games were released (3D, Forts, Mayhem, then the first and the third got glued together with updated graphics as Ultimate Mayhem), so, totally not like Armageddon, and after Reloaded, they went into the classes thing with Revolution and Clan Wars.

GoG is also doing a charity drive. $5 for 3 games out of the following:
- Darwinia
- FTL
- pid
- Botanicula
- Creatures Village
- Waking Mars
- Incredipede
- The Whispered Word
- Driftmoon
- Oddworld: Abe's Odysee

Great chance to grab a few good games. I can definitely recommend FTL and Waking Mars, and have been interested in Incredipede for a while.

New Bundle. Not very Humble.
Batman Arkham stuff. FEAR, LotR, Scribblenauts. WB Games package.

Arkham asylum is very, very good (even if it is pretty short) and now that they've replaced gfwl with steamworks there's no excuse. If you don't have it, get it now.

I've heard good things about arkham city too, though I've never gotten around to playing it yet.

[Anvilfolk]

Hot dang! Scribblenauts! FEAR 2 and 3! The Arkham games! I never realized I was actually interested in these games and whoahoahoah here they are all at once.

And so, someone purchased some more games they were never going to finish, or even possibly play

[choppy]

I have a cd binder thing full of the CDs of old games found thrifting that I'll never play. Why should I stop there?

Edit: So there's separate "Steam Keys" for each game, though you no longer have keys but link the "key" to your Steam account a la Steam login. You're still presented the option of creating a gift link instead of a link for yourself, which you can then share with someone else.

That being said, I don't want War in the North. Anyone itching for some LotR?

if you do not need the base game i would like it.

[Mephisto]

(Not sure if this would be the appropriate thread for this...)

I already own Scribblenauts. Any takers?

[Aoi]

How does this version of Scribblenauts stack up to the DS original?

[Mephisto]

It's different. I don't think I would go so far as to say it's better or worse than the others, though.

There are several more objectives and minigame types, but some people complain that certain solutions are less open than those of the previous games. YMMV. Personally, I enjoyed it.

Double post, but it's a big one.

New Bundle Stars bundle, The Majestic Indie Bundle.

I've already got M&B, but I've not played any of the others. I think I'll be picking this up after work.

Forge is the weakest part of the bundle. It's already free-to-play. The starter pack normally costs US$15 and comes with two 30-day XP  boosters and shadow armor for all of your classes. If it was a new character or something, it would feel less icky. Fifteen bucks for two months of fast XP gain and a bit of extra armor.

[Aoi]

Huh. Wasn't there another bundle, other than the above posted Majestic Indie Bundle that launched today (the same day as that) that also has Shelter? Can't find it in my email history though...

*yoink* A couple of those I've been looking at before, so a nice deal.

Edit: On closer look it's Tales of Maj'Eyal not TOME in the bundle, at least that's what is showing up in my games list.

edit2: doh, need to be awake more, TOME is Tales.

[puke]

wow, from pern to middle earth to its own thing.  ToME has really gone for quite a ride over the years.

Suggesting that a free game is a $10 value though?  Hmm... I mean, sure, I've spent more than that on Dwarf Fortress which is also a free game, but it seems like a bit of disingenuity on the part of the bundle.
