I just checked my Indie Gala account. All the old redeem links now are view Steam key links. So it looks like they did just replace the auto redeem links with all the Steam keys.

Except now I can't tell 100% which ones I redeemed yet or not x.x

They are good for their Genre. I found them a little dull but I like a different type of strategy rpg. I prefer them to be like FF tactics or Disgaea.

Well, I guess Valve isn't completely evil lately. Dispenser.tf, TrashBot and some other automated trading bots received exclusions from Steam's captcha requirements so they can stay in business.

Shadows of the Vatican Act I is free from IndieGala

Also their Friday bundle looks good from a strict "games per dollar" basis if you get in one the $2 price. Can't speak for the quality.

Bundle Stars has a new bundle, which as the Meridian New World game in it.

It's a good looking RTS. Apparently made by one person. I was waiting for it to drop in price, because while being pretty, it was a bit lacking in content and diversity. Part of a bundle though, looks like the right price for me.

If you knew someone who never played any of these, is there an order you would tell him to play them in?

Dark Forces > Jedi Academy > KOTOR 1 > KOTOR 2 > Republic Commando > Force Unleashed if you're bored

Empire at War and Battlefront are multiplayer games, so the single player isn't that good.

I'm not sure whether I'd call the Indiegala Friday special bundle good or not, since it doesn't have much I'm interested in. However, I did find it interesting that they're now labeling which games have cards right on the sale.

They're also giving away Marine Sharpshooter II: Jungle Warfare (scroll down under the Darksiders bundle) which won "Most Surprisingly Poor Game" from me this January.

M is for Marine Sharpshooter II: Jungle Warfare
When I played this, I originally thought it must have been a port of an old Playstation game, circa 1998. Which would have helped explain its blocky, low-polygon models and weird texture wraps. As it turns out, this was actually a budget PC game released in 2004 that no one put a lot of effort into making playable, much less good.

MS2:JW is a first person shooter/stealth game that has you tracking and killing terrorists who kidnapped the president of Burundi. You are armed with a clumsy sniper rifle, a questionable pistol and a completely useless knife. You know how all modern FPS's make their knives deadly to the point where it's practically a joke? In MS2:JW your knife is less effective against terrorists than licking them. The rifle uses a terrible control scheme where you have to bring up and zoom your scope all via the scroll wheel rather than pressing RMB to aim (to lower your scope, you have to scroll out past the minimum magnification). On the other hand RMB has the all important function of ******** a silencer onto your pistol. You can remap controls but you can't remap RMB to both bringing up your scope AND putting it back down since these are two separate functions and can't be mapped to the same key. Speaking of, every time I pressed [Space] to jump, it took a screenshot as well. I couldn't get the game to NOT do this.

The rest of the game is equally a mess. Vegetation is impermeable. You can't walk through it, you can't shoot through it. You'll aim up a shot and have your bullet be stopped by a leaf a foot in front of you or an errant stick clipping slightly in front of your target. Enemy AI is abysmal. You have a Chatty Cathy spotter buddy who is about as effective with a gun as my cat is. This is not a good game. It was not a good game in 2004 and it is not a good game in 2015. It looks like garbage and plays like garbage.

[...]
Most Surprisingly Poor Game: Marine Sharpshooter 2: Jungle Warfare
First person shooters to come out during 2004 included Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Unreal Tournament 2004, Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault, Far Cry and Counter Strike: Condition Zero. Also, Marine Sharpshooter 2: Jungle Warfare, a game that looked at least eight years old on the day it was released. I wasn't expecting a fully modern experience here but I was expecting semi-competent AI, half decent weapons or a quasi-realistic environment. MS2:JW was astounding in just how poor it was in comparison to the year it was released. The problem with this game wasn't that it was released in 2004, it's that it should have been released in 1996 and frankly it wouldn't have been great then.


Also, what's with that terrible Darksiders bundle where they can't even give you Titan Quest Gold?
