Fallen Enchantress - $5, on sale yesterday (flash sale). This game is the second (I believe) attempt at this teams' Master of Magic-styled game. It's supposed to be much, much better than the first one, Elemental, which got very poor reviews (so much so that this game is not a sequel story-wise), but still is apparently average. The expansion is better, it sounds, but well, I'd rather play the first game first... plus that one cost twice as much, even on sale. I liked Master of Magic a lot back in the mid '90s. This isn't supposed to be as good, but hopefully it's decent.
World of Goo - $1. Decent side-scrolling physics puzzle platformer, and it sure is cheap right now!
Magicka - I got some more of the DLC, including the second addon campaign, The Stars Are Left ($1.25, goes in between the two that came with that Humble Bundle pack; the newest addon isn't on sale), and a variety of other DLCs as well, most with challenge levels in them: Final Frontier (challenge, vs., robe; $0.75), Marshlands (challenge, $0.50), The Other Side of the Coin ($1.25, alternate story and characters), Nippon ($0.25, robe and items), and Grimnir's Laboratory (challenge, $0.25). Yeah, Magicka has a lot of DLC. There's a pack for $6.50 that includes all the cheaper DLC stuff (ie, everything except for the newer addon campaigns), but I don't really want the rest of the stuff -- it's all versus maps and robe packs, and I'd rather save my $2 than pay for that stuff. Oh, I also got the free DLC challenge map set, Free Joiner's Workshop.
