I found the Creeper World games to be really good. I haven't tried 2, but most people seem to think it's the lesser of the series.

As far as the Humble Jumbo bundle, Insurgency is also a really kickass competitive FPS, if you're into that kind of thing. I really enjoyed it for a while, before getting hooked on Titanfall.

It seems I might have to reinstall SHV, although I am not a fan of german stuff. I like to play the good side of the war :P Reinstalled SHIV recently... need to restart a campaign.



Looking through other sales, it's worth pointing out Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm, if you're into fairly realistic WW2 shooters, and Unity of Command for a very accessible, sleek, turn-based wargame-like experience.

The new Humble Jumbo Bundle 3 includes free keys to give away. I've made a thread to give my keys away here:

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=145600.msg5801390#msg5801390

Post there if you want keys, or if you want to give away keys.

Anyway, Saints Row IV plus a bunch of other games was too good to pass (I already played a "full demo"... yet I still want to buy it. SUCK IT COPYRIGHT MAXIMALISTS)

Also, extra cheesy acting courtesy of our old pal Tex Murphy! Who can say no to that?

The unlocks for Humble will probably be expansions.

That would be nice.

Also if you get SR4, don't forget to check the Store Page, there's 2 DLC that are free.

Also, also if you get SR4 through this bundle, It may be worth picking up the sr4 upgrade pack on the humble store giving you all the DLC for far less than individually.

Can anyone explain why you can't unlock the last game unless someone claims one of your shared copies of Insurgency? I don't understand what marketing tactic they're using here.

Also, will someone please take one of my extra copies of Insurgency so I can get my game? It won't let me claim my own gift copy. : /

Edit: Removed gift link from here, will use Sergius' thread instead.

My guess is they're trying to boost server populations as high as possible by giving away (almost) freebies. For online games a robust and active player base is what makes the game.

I guess what I don't understand is, why is Full Mojo Rampage only unlocked by giving away Insurgence? Are they made by the same company? I feel I am missing the logic here. I do get why they're incentivizing giving away free copies, I just don't really understand why this particular game is the incentive.

Full mojo rampage looks fun. I might have to get the bundle and gift, just for that.

Oh darn... what if... the bundle includes the upgrade pack later? I should wait exactly 12 hours days to find out... but what if it's not unlocked yet by then? Or if I miss it? Damn!

Hm, just having this limited time offer tells me that unlocking the DLC for free in the bundle would be very dickish of them... that points towards them NOT including the DLC in the Bundle, right?

EDIT: Also, the hidden games are tier 2 and SR4 is tier 3, so it wouldn't make sense to include SR4 DLC...
EDIT2: Hm, bundle timer is the exact as the upgrade timer, so yeah I doubt they'll give that away. BUYING NOW

Unlocks happen at the halfway point, ie 7 days in. You had time.

I know, I just decided it was illogical for them to give away DLC and sell it during the same period, and slightly unlikely to give it away in a lower tier to people that are paying less than what's required to get the base game.

I'm more patient than you are. I won't even touch the current bundle until the unlocks. I have a backlog of games as is.

Mount and Blade (The original, not Warband) is free on GoG.  If you go to the site every day of their sale and click the buttons, you get Witcher 2 for free also, along with some movie.  Lots of other games currently on sale there too.
