I can take care of Xotic for Gragt if you didn't already give him a copy. He's tossed a couple of games my way in the past. If you already got him, then I have an extra copy of Xotic for someone else.
EDIT: key has been given away

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Haven't sent him Xotic yet. Just have him earmarked for the Ball now then.

 

[Gragt]

Broticis gave me Xotic, so remove me from that one. Still keep me on the list for The Ball if not one wants it badly.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Gragt has been balled. Remaining games are:

Xotic
Beep
Hacker Evolution
Anomaly + Edge + Osmos bundle
Toki Tori

Playing Wasteland Angel right now -- pretty fun driving/shoot 'em up. Do yourself a favor and use a game pad.

Just dicked with this now myself, it's surprisingly enjoyable. Compared to Band of Heroes which suuuuuuuuuuuucked, Wasteland Angel has a pretty good idea of how to make arcade shooting and score attacking entertaining. Surprised me a bit because the trailer they had on Steam didn't really tickle my fancy IIRC

 

[Metro]

The FPS mode they have on the bonus levels is pretty neat, too. Overall the game is a bit short. Only put in about two hours and I'm probably 40% through it. Still, decent investment for a bundle game.

Payday: The Heist will be $5 in an upcoming Amazon promotion ('Farewell to February') -- activates on Steam. Again, Amazon DD store is US only.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

That's a pretty entertaining game, well worth $5 if you like vaguely L4D style gameplay. I say vaguely, since zombies with guns impacts the gameplay in a fairly good way.

Much like L4D it's primarily a multiplayer co-op game though. It has companion bots, but they won't complete objectives and just follow you around shooting mans. Though at $5 it still might be worth it just for dicking around singleplayer. Isn't GREAT that way, but for some bitesized missions involving shooting it's not bad once in a while.

 

[Metro]

Just wrapped up Wasteland Angel. Very short -- it won't take you more than 4.5 hours to play through the story and even get 100% achievements (with a little luck). Good concept, fairly good execution but it is rough around the edges at places and seems a bit poorly optimized.

 

[Kosmonaut]

Just Cause is at @ $5.09. What's your opinion about this game bros?

 

[Metro]

Never played since I'm still using XP but from what I hear it's definitely worth $5 as a fun sandbox shooter.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

Most fun I've ever had in a sandbox game. Main plot is fucking terrible, but in a self-aware way.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Definitely worth it. Though I've only dicked with it for an hour or two to look at it, but that gave a great first impression for an open world fuck around game.

 

[Kosmonaut]

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

 

[DwarvenFood]

BROS got an exta copy of the following videogames. Yell at me if you want 'em, preferably one per customer, but after telling me the main one you want mention whatever else you want in case nobody else swoops in to get it.

Xotic
Beep
The Ball
Hacker Evolution
Anomaly + Edge + Osmos bundle
Toki Tori

BRO
I would not mind receiving Toki Tori from you, if you got no one else for it; Thanks!

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Omar gets Toki Tori!

 

[Metro]

Darkness 2 $25
Payday $5
Saints Row 3 $25
Warhammer Space Marine $15
Red Faction Armageddon $5
Warhammer DoW 2 Retribution Pack $20

 

[TripJack]

based on the bro team armegadon review i might get that

I should've waited to buy payday

and cowbro ill take osmos if no one else wants it

 

[Metro]

I could never get myself past three or so hours in Guerilla so even at $5 I'm leery about Armageddon. Checked out a Let's Play and it appears to be a generic console cover shooter that goes on for about 12-15 hours in repetitive fashion.

 

[sser]

Payday looks fun. I didn't even realize they were making a Darkness-sequel.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Tripjack gets Anomaly and Edge and Osmos!

 

[TripJack]

Deus Ex:Human Resources Department is 66% off for the weekend

The Serious Sam games are also 66% off for the weekend.

What's the Kodex Kritical Koncesus on SS:BFE,is it worth 10 euros or not?What about those indies SS games are they any good?

Also is Mirror's Edge worth 2.5 euros?

 

[sser]

I picked up Mirror's Edge (like most of my games) for about $5 on the consoles. I felt it was worth the $5.

 

[Ulminati]

Mirrors edge had some good ideas and is definately worth giving a quick spin. 2½€ seems like pretty good value.
