It seems Humble Bundle is starting to step up their big bundle schedule. I just got an e-mail about two bundles at once. One is an android bundle with a few notable titles, namely The Room (You're tearing me APART!). Metal Slug 3 is nice and all, but NOT on the Android. While I was very surprised about how competent some touch only controls have gotten in games like Dead Space Mobile, I really wish this Android bundle had been like the last one and offered PC versions of all these games, at least all the ones that have SEEN PC versions anyway. I seem to recall a PC version of the Metal Slug games some time ago when that game "rental" service for PC was still a thing (I forget what it was called). All in all though, worth a few dollars to me.

The next one is another THQ bundle. I could take or leave the Red Faction stuff here. I really never much cared about that series. However, it includes BOTH Darksiders games. Just getting Darksiders 2 for around $7 makes it more than worth it, which is basically why I bought it, as I already got the first Darksiders with the first THQ bundle. Now that Humble Bundle gives individual Steam keys for each separate game in the bundle instead of one for the whole group, I have an extra code for Darksiders 1 to give out now.

I'll probably get that THQ bundle as well, though I'll wait a bit to see if the average goes down... but I don't have Darksiders II or Red Faction: Guerilla, so it's probably worth it. I do have the other two games, but so does everyone...

Wow, so Red Faction is actually a good series where EVERYTHING can be destroyed. Somehow I had just sort of skipped out on this one. Guerrilla seems like the more interesting title so far.

Red Faction: Guerrilla is all kinds of fun, I beat it a while back and loved every minute of it. I've got the second of the new series, but I haven't actually played it yet.

The whole point with the original two (early '00s) Red Faction games was that they had an engine where you could destroy almost everything, so you could blow up the walls in the levels, etc. Some parts were indestructible, but you could destroy a lot of the level... good stuff, from what little of them I played.

Guerrilla and Armageddon just let you blow up all the buildings and stuff though, right?

You can blow up pretty much anything in the new ones too. The destruction is very granular as well, so you can blow out the walls of a building, but it'll still stand. If you take out the support beams though, the whole thing will probably collapse in a glorious spectacle. I was smashing up all sorts of walls and took down a bridge some enemies were standing on. It felt good. So yeah, you can basically destroy the entire level, walls and all, in the new ones too.

That said, I need to experiment on one thing. I'm not sure if I can blow up the ground yet.

So yeah, I picked this up, and now have extra copies of Darksiders 1 and Red Faction Armageddon. What can I do with them, though?

Yeah, I'm still trying to find someone I know who doesn't already have Darksiders 1. At least we are recognized as owning extra copies though.

With THQ having so many sales because of how they're about to go out of business, it does seem hard to find people who actually don't have Darksiders 1... :)
