KOTOR 1: Good RPG if you fancy early 00's Bioware.
Republic Commando: Decent FPS gameplay, but it really shines with its look on the grittier side of Star Wars as you play the titular commandos.

What really sells that bundle are the three Jedi Knight games. If better light sabreing, forcewielding, stormtrooper slaying games have been made I'd like to hear it.

As for my own purchases, I'm assuming that the X-Wing/Tie-Fighter games from this bundle are worthy purchases for someone who enjoys Freespace and Wing Commander series:

I'm getting the first witcher for 99p.

Edit: Actually, got the exchange wrong. Google corrects me and says it's 98p. Stupid know it all google.

Shadow Complex is free this month on PC(although you need an epic account).  If you download it you have it permanently.

Its supposed to be a fairly good metrovania apparently.

Seems Epic is yet another one of those companies that requires use of their launcher and an internet connection to play their game, or this game at the least.

Crosspost from the free thread, for visibility.

The guy that did The Stanley Parable released a short little free game on Steam today... called Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist

News blurb @ Polygon ... Game @ Steam

My interest is piqued! Think I'll run out and....

....play something else.

[Nirur Torir]

Is that a real problem with a free game? I haven't heard anything shady about Epic.

[nenjin]

Just kinda becoming a principle thing, ya know? After a Steam, Desura, Origin, Battle.net, Ubisoft, Path of Exile, Rockstar Club, LoL, Sunless Sea, Warframe, Warthunder, Mechwarrior, etc... accounts, I get kinda tired of having to step into yet another game company's walled garden for a game I might play for an hour then forget about. I know that's unavoidable to some extent due to the age we live in. But it's not like Epic Games has some huge catalog that requires their own platform to play it on, their own drm, yadda yadda....and it's just a single player game.

So i decided to taky my chances with the GoG "blindbags".
Bought 2.

Game 1
Agrest - Generators of War (or something similar sounding)
Game completely ragged on by the reviews.

Game 2
Gray Matter.
A good game for a change but a genre i don't like.

6$ well spent!

Although to be fair Epic's launcher appears to have Unreal game engine assets as well. And I thought Desura went under?

[BigD145]

Bankruptcy doesn't mean a whole lot to a company.

[Shadowlord]

I think Desura is like a ship that's been fatally damaged and is slowly sinking. It hasn't disappeared below the waterline yet, but it will.

YIL uPlay or whatever Ubisoft's Steam wannabe's called is a rootkit, apparently.

[Rolan7]

Anti-virus software does have a history of misidentifying such programs as rootkits.
Of course there's some measure of truth to it...  With the extreme being something like Starforce.  *Technically* legitimate, but it walks talks and quacks like malware.

Uplay isn't bad at all though, Steam installed it with Far Cry 3 and it's just kinda there when I play Far Cry.  Had to make an account to do multiplayer and acquire points through achievements (used to buy certain DLC, a system I kinda like).  But that was easy and by default you can just X it out when done with Far Cry or whatever.  And FC3 uses the Steam overlay just fine, *and* the Uplay overlay, without issues.

Unless Uplay has been doing some spying I haven't heard about.

[BigD145]

That just sounds like achievement based unlockables masquerading as free dlc.
