"1849" is on sale at 50% off! [:)] Sale ends February 22nd! This game is not for everyone...I like City Builders and US Westerns so naturally I'm biased. From the devs: "The year is 1849, and gold has just been discovered in California. You decide to head out west, to seek fame and wealth in the approaching Gold Rush. Will you strike gold and become an overnight mining magnate? Or will you build your fortune bit by bit by supplying 49ers with pickaxes and blue jeans? 1849 is a city management game set during the California Gold Rush. Your task is to build towns, populate them with workers, and make sure that they are housed, fed, and entertained. You’ll have to manage and coordinate extensive production and trade networks to make sure your towns thrive." There is alot to this sim...

"Highlands" is on sale at 55% off! [:)] Sale ends February 29th! This is a nice little Strategy-Indie-RPG, a little on the short side...from the devs: "Highlands is a unique turn-based strategic experience where players choices and decision-making will determine whether they return to exile or march victoriously to crush their enemies. Exiled from their homeland and faced against overwhelming odds of defeat, players in Highlands are tasked to build an army and retake what is rightfully theirs from a group of mysterious overlords and their mechanical army. These noble leaders will manage key aspects of their army and population including food, weapons, recruits and other resources to get stronger and advance in the game. As they march on, they will unlock new territories and production areas where individual characters will be able to use their skills to strengthen their position. Choose wisely on which sectors to conquer and relinquish to the enemy in order to push new frontlines and find your way back to power." Feature rich and worth a look!

"Lifeless Planet Premier Edition" is on sale at 50% off! [:)] Sale ends February 24th! One of the more interesting Indie games on the market...not for everyone however! From the devs: "While seeking life on a distant planet, an astronaut discovers an abandoned Russian town. He suspects his mission is a hoax until a mysterious young woman saves him from a strange and deadly phenomenon... Lifeless Planet is a third-person action-adventure that features an old-school sci-fi story and spectacular environments in the spirit of classic action-adventures. After a hard landing on the planet, the astronaut discovers the planet that was reported to be rich with life is instead a barren wasteland. When he goes searching for his crew, he makes a more startling discovery: evidence that humans have already been to this planet years ago! When he comes upon a deserted Soviet-era Russian town, he struggles to make sense of his mission. Did his light-speed travel to the planet send him back in time? Or is this all some strange Cold War hoax?" It is a game to definitely take a look at...

Tales of Maj'Eyal for $1.74 is an insanely good deal. You can actually get the base game for free anyway, but buying it gives you a few more modes and options. If you have even a passing interest in roguelikes or RPG's, you should check it out. Unlimited replayability between all the different classes, skills, items, races, and more. Seriously, one of the best bang for your buck games ever.

I checked little of let's play on YouTube. So soldiers are armed with small caliber clip fed light machine guns and enemies are giant bugs with very tough skin. Do you see anything wrong with this? Yeah, too small hammer for the problem. Are anti-material rifles and RPGs really that rare in the far future?
