Da New Guys also includes da official soundtrack.The last three games include: Indie Royale exclusive (and Seattle Indies Expo participant) Super Amazing Wagon Adventure, a 2D retro action game spoof of Oregon Trail; arcade shmup-type thing Waves from developer SquidInABox; and, finally, 8-bit dungeon crawler MiniFlake.
Shattered Horizon is free to play this weekend on Steam
Independently-developed FPS Shattered Horizon isn't the most high profile action game on the market right now, but it's got two things going for it which we're betting will capture your attention. The first is that until 4 p.m. EST tomorrow, you can download and play the game for free over Steam. It requires DirectX10 and Windows Vista or 7 to play -- but if you've got the tech specs to run the game, you can give it a free trial run until tomorrow afternoon. Oh, the other thing? It's a first-person shooter that takes place in the zero-gravity environs of the moon. If a cooler premise for a game exists, we've yet to hear it.
Crysis and Street Fighter IV round out today's Steam deals
Despite discounting games as part of its ongoing holiday sale event, Valve has seen fit to offer even more games at reduced prices, this time flipping the switch on massive discounts for triple-A titles like Street Fighter IV, which can be yours for $10, and Crysis Maximum Edition -- a bundle of Crysis and Crysis Warhead -- for under $14. That's not all, as your hard-earned greenbacks can also net you cheap digital copies of Medieval II: Total War, Half-Life: Source and Shattered Horizon -- though we'd be remiss if we didn't point out the very tempting combo of Darwinia and Multiwinia, both of which can be yours for $3.
