Ahh, the only two games I've ever reviewed that got Fs.

Did they fix the crash bugs in XIII century, I wonder? It would actually be a really good RTS, if so. If not, it's a cruel waste of time and money.

There's no excusing Necrovision, however.

4 bucks for Cyrostasis: The Sleep of Reason is a good deal. I'd highly suggest it.

Yeah, Cryostasis was surprisingly decent, in a grim, cold, distinctly russian sort of way.

It really says a lot for the former Soviet Bloc when every game that comes out of it feels dour and resentful of the world it exists in. Metro 2033, STALKER, Pathologic, The Void, Cyrostasis... not an optimistic one of the bunch.

Hey now, the Witcher's set in an upbeat, happy world with enchanting beauty and kind, loving folk!

...or not. Ahem.

You have a pathological inability to spell "Cryo," don't you.

I bought a bunch of gift copies and gave them away over reddit for this purpose. Will probably do a few for here too.

I'll probably only ever play Metro and Darksiders, but even so it's worth it :p
Especially since SR3 is included as well - $5.75 is nothing :)

I just invested in my first Humble Bundle with that.... holy shit, is it always that easy? Just drop pennies on the dollar, and get an ass of games? What have I been DOING all this time?

Delicious Company of Heroes....

Yes, it always has been that easy. Which is why I've got 14 bundles under my belt (including a music bundle and the ebook bundle).

Just shitty that I've lost the info to 4 or 5 of mine. An account and keeping them all on one e-mail address are necessary :-P

Apparently most fully controller supported titles are on sale, though not all are listed at once on the sale page, so I'd add to the list of note:
Lego Batman 2 DC Super Heroes $10.19
Castle Crashers $5.09
Orcs Must Die 2 $3.74
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga $9.99

Basically, if it's a port of a console title, there is an excellent chance it has controller support.

Actually, to quality for the "full controller support" in this instance means that everything can be done with the controller, including installation and other setup. Not all console ports allow that, some need a mouse and keyboard for install, or to initially choose the controller option. That this many games can be installed without a mouse & keyboard is a pretty big step towards a potential Steam console.

I am STILL mystified as to the lack of mouse/keyboard support in consoles, and the acceptance that this is how it should be. The SNES had a mouse, the PS2 had USB ports and could support a keyboard for online chat in some games (and the dreamcast could as well, though not straight USB like the PS2).... and yet still nobody has made the next obvious step that could actually put the PC gaming market in trouble, as opposed to all the other times they've erroneously hailed the end of PC gaming.

How many people play console games in a position that would be ergonomically feasible for a keyboard and mouse? If your playing console games from behind a desk, your doing wrong.

Couches actually make pretty good mousing surfaces, I have found empirically. Sometimes I'm over at a friend's house with my laptop and a USB mouse plugged in, and we play TF2 on our laptops in our actual laps.
