Would like to get Grotesque Tactics 2, but have everything else from that bundle. Hopefully it becomes a bonus in the BaM 4 bundle.

*Edit, looks like I should have checked before posting. GT2 has been added to that bundle along with RIP Trilogy.



Nice find on those books, has anyone read any of them?

In for the basic tier, didn't particularly like Brutal Legend on 360.

Are those Dungeons games any good?

Jay G.

They got mostly so-so reviews:
http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/dungeons
http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/du...-the-dark-lord

http://www.gamerankings.com/pc/60508...ons/index.html
http://www.gamerankings.com/pc/63270...ord/index.html

Interestingly, the follow-up, Dungeons: The Dark Lord got better reviews overall, and is in the lower tier.

Also, metacritic and gamerankings are two good sites for getting consensus scores on a game, as well as links to individual reviews.
