Crusader Kings II was mentioned in "Games you might not have tried #4" by Extra Credits. http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/games-you-might-not-have-tried-4

This was enough for me to pick it up in the Pardox Collection and I am hooked. The learning curve is steep, and definitely required some extra curricular research just to figure out where to start, but once the game clicks, it's brilliant.

In a nutshell, its a strategy Medieval Noble simulator, where you pick a specific time in history and a region, and play as that leader and their heirs until the bloodline runs out, or the game ends several hundred years later.

Just check it out, and grab it when it's on sale.

Pretty darn fun. And free!

Bastion is an absolutely beautiful game. The graphics are and aesthetic treat, the music is sublime, and the storytelling is the best use of voiceover in any game.

Also, now on Mac as well!

Love the music, but man this game can get frustrating, when you miss one jump and go back to the beginning of the level.

Torchlight is only $2.50 today. Grab it!
