Orcs Must Die 2
Orcs Must Die 2 is pretty similar to Dungeon Defenders since it is also a Tower Defense game. The biggest difference is that you only get two characters in this version. It also has elements of a FPS since you have to be fairly active as well in addition to strategically placing your traps. You don't just sit around, it makes you take a fairly active role. I really like this one so far and it's only meant for two players and I can imagine it being pretty difficult with one person. There's a lot of neat traps to try and a decent amount of replayability. There is a lot of different upgrades and customization with your kit. This game is well worth it for the time you can put in. It was 9.99 for a 2 pack plus all the DLC.
Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition
Steam is also holding a "Vote for the Next Deal on Steam" poll. This was in the first poll and I'm glad it won. I've been wanting to play this game for forever now. DOS games are a pretty big part of my childhood and I still own my original Secret of Monkey Island disc. When I read that they were making a remake, I was a bit adamant about the idea but was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. It pretty much retained all of it's originality but with 'better' graphics. Better in quotations because some people do prefer the nostalgia of the old ones. I'm enjoying the new ones and there's a fantastic option to switch between the two anytime you want in the game. The voice acting is also a nice welcome addition and it's a great game with funny dialogue and an amusing storyline. I'm really pleased that the second game received this treatment as well because I never got to play it, so it will be something new for me to enjoy in addition to the first game. The Special Edition bundle for these two games was 3.74.

Faerie Solitaire
This game was quite a random purchase but I was perusing through some of the deeper hidden deals. I found a random review for it that said your friends may find this questionable, but it's a surprisingly simple but addicting game. I thought, it's only 1.24 so I may as well give it a try. It's really cute and very simple but it's a very good casual game. It's quick learning and although the gameplay hasn't really changed for me yet, it gives you different objectives every round. You also find random eggs and raise this little 'pet' and evolve it through playing. You also earn money every round that you can use to buy upgrades. I think it's well worth the price and I've already played for 3 hours and didn't get that far yet so it's nice that there's a lot of gameplay for what it is and although it is simply solitaire, it's a nice relaxing change of pace if you want to play something while watching tv, ect.
That's all for now. Expect more in the near future. ^_^
Hopefully there is some great deals in the near future! ♥ |
