Defcon is £1.75 (75% off), but if you don't already own it, there's something wrong with you.

Thanks, bought it! I played the demo like hell back when it came out first. I think the entire game was a sort of different iteration back then?

[Fumarole]

There is in fact something wrong with me. I'm absolute shit at RTS games.

This especially sucks because I loved the aesthetic of the game.

One can't help but be shit at this game. Everyone loses.

[Giaddon]

It's not a RTS game.

One can't help but be shit at this game. Everyone dies.

Fixed that for you.

It's not a RTS game.

It certainly doesn't display many of the tropes of the genre....although yes, it's real-time, and yes, it involves strategy. It's certainly an odd one to pin-down. Puzzle/strategy/tower-defense hybrid, perhaps?

[vinraith]

Ah Defcon. Amazing, affecting aesthetics paired with incredibly shit gameplay. It makes a great screensaver, though, if you just set it to play itself.

[Fumarole]

Fixed that for you.

Yes that too, thanks. I am especially good at that part.

It's quite obviously an RTS, no reason to say otherwise, though the weight is on mind games rather than maneuvering.

[Giaddon]

Fine, it's a RTS. So is fucking... Soccer, I don't give a shit.

If you don't give a shit, why comment at all? No need to be a jackass.

Ravaged is actually only 0.62€/$ at Gamersgate. That's 94% off. Maybe a mistake...

[Heliocentric]

Gamers gate does that quite a bit, but at least they tend to honour it.

Definitely a mistake. It's back up to £1.74 now. Well done if you nabbed it beforehand.

Apologies for double posting. Gamefly have a couple of vaguely interesting things on sale. Risen and Carcassonne are £3 (with the NOV20OFFUK coupon) and £1.75 respectively - http://www.gamefly.co.uk/download-games/browse/?pf=1100&cat=OnSale#.UMHKZeTgnoI

Anyone have any thoughts to offer on either? I don't know about the digital rendition, but Carcassonne the boardgame is bloody good fun.

This is my favourite post for a while

Or we could use the obvious movie quote but that's gotten to be so overused it's like digging up a dead horse and beating its skeleton.

XCOM is £15 from Amazon UK, which is the best price I've seen for it (with the exception of dodgy-looking key resellers).
