Finally broke down and bought Goat Simulator w/MMO Expansion on Steam last night for 33% off ($6.69)
You should go and read the reviews on both Steam and on Gamer's Gate... many are marvelously funny parodies of the whole role playing genre.
Just checked and the game is back to it's full price again $9.99, but it will be discounted again...you just need the patience of a... goat.
Very cool! [8D]
I saw the game for $6.69 at Steam a couple days ago and was going to PM you but remembered that you had originally said under $5.00 so I held off. It'll probably go back on sale tomorrow for $2. [:D]
I bought the game "This War of Mine" a couple days ago and have become engrossed in it. It's a bit on the opposite side of the spectrum from wargaming. In the game you manage a house with 3-4 civilians in it who are in a war zone and must scavenge the city for their needs to survive. You make things out of scavenged parts such as water collectors, small animal traps, beds, chairs and other things to keep your peeps fed, warm, entertained and able to fend off looters. It's a pretty interesting game, especially for me as a wargamer. It's sort of the other side of war, the side of the civilian casualties. [:(] There's even a link when you get to the menu screen of the game to donate to a group called "War Child" which is a charity to help children in war torn regions of the world (not part of the game but to donate real money for real). The mood music during the game is kind of depressing to listen to and your faced with all kinds of moral dilemmas, such as when a child comes and knocks on the door and asks you for medicine for his mom who is sick. You can turn away the child and your peeps feel rotten but you save your medicine for when your peeps get sick or you can give the kid what he needs if you have it on hand and your peeps feel good the next day but without meds for themselves, sort of like "morale" in a wargame, you must keep the spirits of your peeps up so they stay healthy and can scavenge at night as well as defend the homestead.
Very interesting concept game.
