I vaguely remember Light of Altair. It was different. I didn't hate it. Gnomoria is good. The next tier looks the most interesting. Eldritch is neat. Aaaand Eldritch seems to be it for good games in that tier.

That's a pretty kickass bundle... I only own Gnomoria, and each Steam key is independent.

Getting it. Also another nice bundle site to subscribe to.

The Tier 1 looks great, considering that Gnomoria is on sale on the Humble Store for the same price and here you get 4 more games. The second Tier doesn't look that awesome, though.

Nice, I've had my eye on Light of Altair for a while.  Looking forward to playing it.

The demo video for Eldrich didn't grab me.  Is it good?  I dont see anything in Tier 2 that I particularly want to play.

New Humble. Sid Meier stuff. Probably some of the worst Sid stuff.
Civ 3 and 4? Those are good. Pay a buck or whatever.
Railroads!  <-awful dumbed down kiddie-fied garbage
Civ 5. Meh. Pay $15 for Brave New World. No map packs. I'd rather stick to 4.
Ace Patrol. Looks bubbly, like a baby safe toy. Never played it. Never heard of it until now.

I personally liked Civ5. That you couldn't megastack gave it a tactical layer that I enjoyed. Then again, I never played 4 and all its expansions.

The Ace Patrol games are on the lighter side, but they're nifty little tactical games that keep you coming back for more since your guys pilots and planes get better. I think there's a pretty deep tactical game underneath that you never really get to experience because the game fails to convey the technical aspects of the game.

But oh well. If you're into WW2, it's a nice, light tactical level game :)

Huh, never knew about the colonization expansion. 

Civ4+BTS was one of the best 4x experiences I've ever had.  Adding on the Quot Capita mod upped my enjoyment by about a factor of 10, and the replayability by about 100.

Never tried 5.  I hear the expansions are supposed to make it better, but that it is just a different kind of game and that you need to expect that out of the gate.

Might pick up the bundle just to have 4 on steam, and maybe to someday give 5 a spin.  seems wasteful though.

Several RuneQuest books are in the current Bundle of Holding.

Technically, it is a bundle that contains games.

The Colonisation expansion isn't so much an expansion as a modernisation of the original Colonisation, which makes it pretty nifty :)

I've been interested in checking out Runequest for a while, thanks for bringing this to my attention!
I don't think anyone will get their panties in a bunch over them not being vidja gaems, these bundles definitely belong here too.

if you want to videogameize some runequest, check out King of Dragon Pass.  It's pretty rad, they recently re-released it for PC on GOG and updated it for ipad.  Note that the PC version isnt updated, just the iOS one.

The current Groupees Be Mine 11 bundle is well worth $1: http://groupees.com/bm11
1953 - KGB Unleashed
Grimm (Complete Series)
IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946
Infected: The Twin Vaccine
Redshirt
Shufflepuck Cantina Deluxe
The Body Changer
Ultionus: A Tale Of Petty Revenge
AERENA: Clash of Champions (Early Access)
Plus 4 music albums.

So far I've only tried Redshirt, but I've sunk a surprising amount of time into it already. It doesn't have deep gameplay or anything like that, but it's just entertaining. The humor is great, the aesthetics are great, and as a person who hates Facebook and refuses to even visit that site because of the sheer stupidity that surrounds it, I have to say it is a very accurate Facebook simulator. It parodies Star Trek and satirizes social networking sites fairly well, which to me is worth more than $1. It's not a game I would have paid full price for, but as part of a bundle, I'm glad I got it. I'm sure I'll enjoy it for a while longer before I get sick of it.

Looking forward to playing Grimm as well, and Shufflepuck. Both look fun.
