Question. I already own Little Inferno (and I loved it). Am I allowed to give out the Steam key to someone else or is that a big no no?
While the Steam keys are supposed to be for your own personal use, I've never heard of anyone getting in trouble for giving them out. I've done it and there are whole threads on other forums for doing it.
 
Next Humble Bundle weekly sale is up.

Back to the Future: The Game
Sam and Max: Devil's Playhouse
Poker Night at the Inventory
Hector: Badge of Carnage
Puzzle Agent 1 & 2
Wallace and Grommit's Grand Adventures

Beat the average ($4.10 at the time of writing): The Walking Dead

This is tempting me, for the Walking Dead alone. How are the other games?

Back to the Future is crap for gameplay, but has a really fun story.

Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse was decent, but the other two seasons were better IMO. It's fun.

Wallace & Grommit's Grand Adventures is hit and miss. Mostly I liked it, though. The writing is good, some of the puzzles are fun, but there are parts where it drags.

I really need to get around to playing Puzzle Agent one of these days.

I really, really, really enjoyed Back to the Future. It's basically the 4th movie, and fits into the storyline as canon. If you like BttF, it will give you a huge stupid grin.

I was disappointed in the gameplay. Just very slow and not very difficult. The story was definitely good though. The guy they got for Marty was spot-on.

I've only played the first episode of Back to the Future, but I really liked it. Just never got around to playing the rest, mostly because the first episode was free so I never bought the rest.

I dug the Hector games. They're probably the raunchiest adventure games I've ever played, but they're hilarious.
 
Short version: It's a lot of fun and deserves a lot more love than it got. Worth way more than $5 for both... which is probably why i bought two copies, on top of my Xbox 360 copy.
I should really get around to playing those. They've been on my steam list for quite some time, and I've only played the first 10 minutes or so.
 
3DS eshop has Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Zelda: Oracle of Seasons each for $4.99 until June 20th.

On the one hand, I have many games to play right now. On the other hand, none of them are Zelda games (except Ocarina, but I've gone slowly through my zillionth playthrough).

Pretty sure I am going to cave to this, I never got around to playing these 2.

Neither did I. Only playing Oracle of Seasons at the moment, but it's wonderful. Great 2D Zelda game. I just wish the eshop had Minish Cap and Link to the Past--I never got to play those either.

GOG.com will be giving away a free game at some point today, June 18th. I don't know what it will be, but the last limited-time free game was Fallout.
 
The free game siTorchlight.

Summer line up so far has a LOT of great titles at great prices, but nothing I don't already have or that'll blow yourm ind, I guess.

If you missed any of their past great sales, this is a good time, though.


All of this for $21.10:
BALDUR'S GATE 2 COMPLETE
BALDUR'S GATE: THE ORIGINAL SAGA
TEMPLE OF ELEMENTAL EVIL, THE
ICEWIND DALE 2 COMPLETE
ICEWIND DALE COMPLETE
NEVERWINTER NIGHTS 2: COMPLETE
NEVERWINTER NIGHTS: DIAMOND EDITION
PLANESCAPE: TORMENT
DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: DRAGONSHARD
FORGOTTEN REALMS: DEMON STONE

Alan Wake bundle (base game + American Nightmare) 90% off

Mot other games are 50% off or more.
 
I snatched up that bundle. I like the fact that it also allows you to exclude games and it actually deducts it from the total price. I already had Planescape: Torment, so was able to remove it from the list.
 
No bundle on GOG today, but plenty of interesting offers, depending on your preferred style of game.

The Witcher 2 is 75% off - to $5.99
Don't Starve 33% off - $9.99
Miasmata, a challenging wilderness survival game, for only $3.74 (that's 75% off)
Signal Ops, a squad-based tactics espionage game, for only $4.99 (that's 66% off)
Slender: The Arrival, an urban legend survival horror experience, for only $4.99 (that's 50% off)
and Strike Suit Zero, a space combat sim with giant mecha-armor, for only $4.99 (that's 75% off)

Do'nt Starve I'm on the fence about. It's a new indie game, so a sale is nice, but it's also on Steam, so there's a decent chance it'll go on sale there as well. I prefer GOG over Steam, but I don't know if Steam'll just match this sale, or go to $7.50 or so. The others are all nice sales if you like the genre. If you like Western RPGs and haven't played TW2 yet, you really should :p
 
Resonance is 50% off right now, at $4.99. It's a really great sci-fi adventure game by the same people that did The Blackwell series and Gemini Rue. As a long-time fan of adventure games, I recommend it.

Has anyone played To the Moon? I keep thinking about getting it.

Humble Bundle 6 for Android is up.

https://www.humblebundle.com/

I snagged it because I've heard good things about Frozen Synapse.
Aquaria is a fantastic metroidvania-type action/adventure. It's got some flaws, but the art and music are great, the story is emotional, and the combat works for the most part. It's a shame the game doesn't really tell you about the keyboard shortcuts for changing forms, and some other control features that make the game more playable, but I can overlook that.

I thought steam was supposed to send e-mails/push updates to mobile when something on your wishlist goes on sale? Is that not the case? Cause mine isn't.
