Universe Sandbox is alright. Not really my thing, sadly, but it is fun to send asteroids at Earth.

Botanicula is like Machinarium without robots, so it depends how much you like that game. 
Splice is a funlittle puzzle game with a bacterium theme.
Haven't played Oil Rush so no opinion.
Universe Sandbox is just as it sounds. Fuck around with astro-physics. Game won't last much longer than the "fucking around" stage unless you like astro-physics.

Impression of Ys?

You run into things. The solution to everything is to run into them. No I'm not joking.

Not in Oath in Felghana and Origin, but that holds true of the old games.


I've played about halfway through Oath in Felghana before. It's not easy persay, and requires some quick reflexes.
If you like hack n' slashy sort of combat you might enjoy it. Check out a few gameplay videos or so and see. Also, the music is damn amazing.

I went ahead and got it. It does look fun, and if I like it I might get Origin as well.

As for today's deals...stuff I want, nothing I can play. Having a crap computer sucks :(

Looks like you may just want to save yourself the six bucks and buy EYE alone. I've got an eye on it myself; is it any good?

Think of as the sequel to Dues Ex. It's not a flawless game but it has quite a bit of content. The RPG mechanics are done really well and playing a different "build" feels different, which a lot of games get wrong. The storyline is impossible to follow, so don't go in it looking for something awesome there.
The first level is the worst in game and also extremely hard. Things get much better after that. Also has co-op support for up to like 20 people which is fairly impressive.

When I played E.Y.E. overall it was OK at best but it had my favorite rifle ever. The B.O.S.C.O silenced .308 bullpup with 25 round magazine. It had enough damage to 1 or 2 hit nearly any enemy, enough ammo to be used at close ranges to clear large groups of enemies, and enough zoom to be used viably as a sniper rifle.

 I like the Anno series, but $25 is still too much for me to spare on stuff

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

I was working from 8AM-3PM (-5 GMT). Did I miss any good deals that were Flash Sales between those times? BTW, how long do each one last? Haven't paid attention to that.

Just making sure I don't miss Fallout: New Vegas (+expansions). I'm definitely getting that (for cheaper than cheapened).

EDIT:
Nevermind. A forum is keepting tabs on those Flash Sales. Seems I didn't miss out on anything so far. :)

And to answer my other question: New ones every 8 hours usually. Actually 6-12 hours.

EDIT EDIT:
And while at it, more buried treasures in the sale: (70%-80% off)

Another awesome link (found within the Flash Sale tracker one:
http://www.coustier.com/ (and it tells you the history of the prices too. Good to know. :V )

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Looks like a pretty fun game I can get into along with my brothers. If Terraria had anything to show, going on an adventure, spelunking, and looting/recovering lost loot is more fun with some buddies in on the adventure.

I'll wait for it to Flash Sale first.
