   This weeks mid week madness is a Indie game pack that contains some great Indie puzzle games. (I'm annoyed because I've only recently bought two of them and it cost me more than this pack, lol). I've posted a few images and a link to a You Yube video for each game in the pack. Most of the games are done in a retro style with psychedelic colors. The pack includes the following games

   Bullet Candy ([i]New updated version)

   You can buy individual titles for £2 each (~$3) or the whole lot for £9.99 (~15). Either way they are a great deal.

   I'm in the U.S. and for some reason the prices are even less than you would expect from the exchange rate. The games are actually $2.00 apiece, or $9.99 for the lot (same numbers, different currency). I bought Bob Came in Pieces (though I haven't had a chance to play it yet.) So if you're paying in American dollars you're getting an even better deal.

   Steam is a terrible temptation, lol! Obviously my rule about not buying things which I don't really need has gone out the window. It's amazing how easy it is to justify buying almost anything when it's only $2.00.

   Yes I also think Steam is terrible (lol). Since installing Steam late January last year, on average I've bought more than one game every day. The deals are just out of this world. :)

   I think I may buy this one. It has single player, besides multiplayer. Only a rating of 76 though., not very high for these shooters, but I guess coming out at the exact same time as Call of Duty and a some others wasnt to bright.
   Right now would be a much better time to put a game out. There isnt anything.

   Hi Txnnok,

   Personally I think Operation Flashpoint is a much better game than Call of Duty. I think what puts some palayers off is this game is played almost like the real thing. It's easier for you to die while in combat, there's no run and gun and often you have to plan your strategy before you attack otherwise you lose all of your squad; not only that you have to treat you wounds if you get hit otherwise you bleed to death. The squad based controls are also not as easy to use as just playing a single person . you have to learn how to control and use your squad otherwise you wont complete your missions. Brilliant game, which has similarities with ArmA II

   The reason I think it's better than Call of Duty is because you've got a massive island to explore and it's got much more replayability than Call of Duty. If you're an online player COD may also seem more appealing, but I think this game still wins in that departmnt. (but then it all depends on what you like in a game - for me this is the king of FPS games) Basically this is a Sandbox game though you do have various missions to carry out. There are two squads one of which you control. you can play this with a friend cooperatively, you control one squad and the friend the other squad. also i do think squad based shooters never score as high as a normal FPS. I love this game and highly recommend buying it. I may buy a second copy for my son. Though I think I may already have done so (lol)

   Brilliant price.

   I don't usually bother about the Metascore because it only tells you how popular the game is across the whole gaming community.

   For example one of the games I bought last June called Damnation, I found hard to play initially, and was also disappointed with it because the pre release videos buil;t it up to be something it wasn't. It has the lowest metascore of any of the many games I've got via Steam (only 41). My son got a copy via one of the package deals over the Christmas period and he loved it. I started playing it again with him (it's got a cooperative mode) and realized what a greqat game it was. I just think it doesn't play well initially, which is probably why a lot of people (including myself initially) were put off playing it.

   I've posted images of the game somewhere. I'll set up another post later about Op Flashpoint and lik to the images when I've found them.

   I'm going to be a little busy playing the latest installment in the Silent Hunter franchise. :) (A good giveaway friend has also bought it and we intend playing some cooperative as soon as we've got used to the controls. :)
