Hmm..
I've only played two hours so far, but I have to say I'm not impressed. The story already seems trite, the 'morality' too black and white, and the controls and UI are really bad.
I got 8 hours in but haven`t played since. It takes a while to takeoff. The good part of the game is seeing your character change as you make decisions. Still, not sure it has aged super well. I wish they had Fable 2 instead.
The graphics obviously didn't age well.
I tried to get into this game once, but this bloody saving mechanics prevented me from playing further (seriously, I don't have so much time, and I might have bette things to do than playing to the next save point).

Well, I don't really care that much about graphics and the art style still works, but what gets me are the menues and that bloody save mechanic you mentioned.
Anyway, after Fable I tried Gothic 3 (on steam for € 2,49), well aware of the game's reputation. It seems well founded as mouse controls don't seem to work at all and I'm stuck in the tutorial. Currently downloading the latest community patch.

It's been a while since I played the lost chapters but I really liked it. I have it on disc but bought the digital version since it was so cheap. The morality is extremely black and white but I still enjoyed the story, it seems to get better further in. Your character doesn't change tons with your decisions, it's a pretty linear game imo but I still liked leveling up and the story was decent enough.

The humble weekly is decent, little inferno, super hexagon, natural selection 2 for $1. For $6 you also get critter crunch, pixeljunk monsters extreme and hotline miami.
Can anyone recommend hotline miami? It has pretty good reviews but I think you can get it on sale on steam sometimes for less than $5. Dunno if the $6 package is worth it. Those other two games look like they should be ios titles.

Hotline Miami is decent if you're into fast-paced gameplay. I think of it like GTA1 combat mechanics translated to a twin-stick setup which is much more satisfying. The story's pretty trippy, certainly done differently to most games. It's a good game but I do think it's a tad overrated.
It's also pretty hard but not Super-Meat-Boy-hard.

It was one of my favorite games from last year and one of the only indie games I actually played through more than once (I think I played it through 3-4 times, and I still boot sometimes when I have to kill 15-30 minutes).
It's not for everyone though. You just have to understand that levels are short, and that you're meant to die all the time and try again and again. This is softened by the fact that you respawn immediately at the tap of a button and you just want to keep trying. You're never more than like 30 seconds away from where you were. It's fast and feels very crisp and responsive, it's very satisfying to succeed, I don't know how else to put it. It pushes some good buttons. Also, having a soft spot for, or having lived in, the whole aura of the 80s is another bonus. And the soundtrack is amazing.

Dont you already have a huge pile of shame ?
Do you really want to be adding yet more games. Unless you intend to play it immediately after buying then you might as well wait as games can only get cheaper as they age.
