Lava Mortus 2nd Bonus Unlocked.

Next is 3rd Bonus : Greed - Black Border at 4500.

Larva Mortus is unlocked, it is Steam only.

Net bonus is Greed: Black Border. This is an SciFi hack'n'slash, and it is better executed than Chosen, I think. It is not a bad game at all. It has been in several bundles before, and I guess that if the trend continues, it will be Steam only. I do not think it is sold DRM free anywhere, it is Steam or Securom.

edit - darn ninjas... grumble...

edit 2 - The bonuses so far are quite good, could almost argue that they are the best games in this bundle. It is a shame I already got them all

Thankfully I have a friend who is just getting into PC gaming and has rather taken to the "easy play" of Steam, so I guess I will just continue filling his games with the extras then. Already bought 3 games in this pack with the sole intention of gifting them over, and two HB's

On the other hand rather limited for people like myself who prefer DRM free gaming..
Groupees offer GOG keys with theirs bundles sometimes. I didn't see this time for Scratches.

Negatus: I'm not surprised. How many times can you offer the same games (plus some "new" throwaway titles) without there being diminishing returns? I would be hard pressed to buy one, much less than the minimum three, games from this tired list.

Momo1991: I really love Groupees and I try to support every game bundle they offer even if it's just a little money.

For this one, I bought a couple of games I already own simply to gift to others that might not be able to afford even the minimum. Plus there were at least two DRM-free games that I didn't already own. So yes, I agree that many of these are repeats but it is a "build-a-bundle" for anyone that is missing some of those games and I really like that option!
Are you buying those games because u want to play them, or just to complete your collection? :P

blotunga: What game is worth it besides Robin Hood? I still need two :). Is there a point in taking grotesque tactics 1&2?
Robin Hood, Scratches, and the two Grotesque Tactics games are the pick of the bunch....

I only ever buy games that I want to play eventually - there are a ton of games in that bundle that I won't play and did not buy ;-)
Finally a Meridian bundle with some DRM-free games in it, but all the bonuses so far are Steam-only games. Hope it doesn't stay that way.
Games I would like to see as a bonus (too bad they're not in main offer :/)

Battle Mages were in some Indie Gala bundles, but I missed those

games I have on CD/DVD, but wouldn't mind to have them in DD form

Agreed! ;-)
Waiting hopefully for a reduction in the minimum number of games. Not because I want to pay less, but because I don't want to buy games that I don't want... I'll feel a weird obligation to play them if I do.

I just got an extra to gift ;-)
good for u
Kind of waiting for a minimum game drop as well, but I'm not sure if I'd buy it even then. I'm only remotely interested in the Stalin Subway titles out of the options I don't have, and I've heard bad things about those games.

amok: So I have now tried The Chosen a little bit, and got some initial impressions.

4) The skill tree and character progression is a bit disappointing. I am trying the ranged hunter first, and so far all I can do is level up some passive skills. You can have only three active skills at a time (offensive, defensive, other). So for example for offensive you can put your skill point in for example Power Attack (increased crit chance) and later on Convert (chance on hit for mob to fight for you for a short time) but you can not have both active. What makes it not work is that for each level you get 1 skill point, and most skills are locked and only opens up on later levels. This means that in the beginning you have very little choice about where you dump your skillpoints, and later on they become irrelevant as you want better skills, but then the point is "lost" (if it makes any sense...) It is easy to change skills on the fly, though, but the system do not quite work and I am not sure how they came up with it.

Leroux: Seems like the skill trees are also the same for all three characters? Apparantly the only difference between the classes is in the general stats and the items they use. I tried the demo for a bit, and while the monk wearing a magical staff can make a melee attack by left clicking and shoot fire by right clicking, the huntress wearing bow or gun does not seem to have a use for the right mouse button and her mana so far, she can only shoot and shoot by left clicking. Judging from what I've seen, I don't have very high hopes that there will be a lot more magic and special attacks later on ...
no. it seems that it is the same for all three.

For the hunter, she uses spell scrolls with right mouse button, but then it is one use and they are gone...
