Merry Christmas 2011!
Finally finished with work.. and the Christmas shopping.. time for games!
Well, time for finishing off a Christmas and pony related drawing for a friend, and attempting some of the Great Gift Pile objectives on Steam! A fairly straightforward objective was to find an Xmas present in any multiplayer level of PAYDAY: The Heist. In the First World Bank, the presents were waiting in the vault with the money 🙂
We also noticed new “beef” masks had been added to the game.. so here’s a friendly Tyrannosaurus with a gun! 😀
More games..
A friend bought us Renegade Ops, an action game by Avalanche Studios, featuring top-down driving destruction.. there’s 4-player co-op, so I can crash into my friends while I destroy things 😉
I took up an offer a while back for a different Christmas bundle; the Intermediaware Christmas bundle which also came with copies for friends too. This pack contained eight games from Intermediaware.. shooters: Absolute Blue, Impact and Defense of Yano, puzzle games.. Captain Backwater, Temple of Tangram, Psychoballs and Atom Antics, and turn-based board game Kabama, for one or two players. This bundle arrived by email as promised, on Christmas Eve!
I also won another game.. 11 Bit Studios‘ action-strategy Anomaly: Warzone Earth, from Day 5 of Splitkick.com’s Holiday Giveaway!
More Indie Bundles!
This morning I came across The Indie Game Christmas Bundle, a set of four games from Intermediaware.
I hadn’t heard of any of the games: shooter Absolute Blue, and puzzle games Captain Backwater, Temple of Tangram and Psychoballs, and aside from the one comment I’d seen on Twitter, I hadn’t heard anything about the bundle either. This is another on the pay-what-you-want model, with free copies of the games for your friends as well!
I have to admit that I felt this might be too generous to be true, and as the games are delivered on Christmas Eve, any reports of non-delivery won’t appear for a while. I did feel rather wary of this one, but I have bought it, and I guess I’ll just watch my bank statement.
The second bundle of the day was the Indie Royale’s Xmas Bundle, featuring Wadjet Eye Games‘ point and click supernatural adventure The Blackwell Trilogy: Remastered: The Blackwell Legacy, Blackwell Unbound, and Blackwell Convergence. Also in the bundle: a Lemmings-like puzzle game called Eets, by Klei Entertainment, 800 North’s Dino D-Day, which features multiplayer action with Hitler’s resurrected dinosaur army, and an action simulator game, The Oil Blue, by chubigans. This last game was recommended by the boss, but sadly doesn’t have a Steam code.
Just as well it’s coming up on Christmas and some time at home.. so I can actually get some of these games played! 🙂
