    Have you tried the Stalker series? The first two are on sale for $10 USD together, and you get the third one if you spend more than $20 during the sale.

    I have Stalker Clear Sky and it is a stuttering mess so I never play it. I played the demo for the first one years ago and it seemed okay but the Stalker games pop upin Bundle Stars bundles (its how I got Clear Sky) for 5 bucks of less for 6-10 games. Their deals are crazy.

    Its great pricing and they're legit steam keys. I've bought a ton of bundles from them and never had an issue. Just don't buy a bunch and not put the keys in right away because I ordered like 7 bundles at once and Steam blocked me from entering keys for 24 hours twice because I had so many.

    @Splintah Almost all of the bundles across all the distribution platforms are listed on http://www.epicbundle.com/game

    Just over 2.30 hours untill next deal. Current bundles are:

    Lucasfilm Adventures
    Dungeons & Dragons
    Heroes of Might and Magic
    Stalker Zone

    And of course a load of games outside of bundles.

    I'm waiting for the huge patch they are making to continue Wasteland 2. Upgrade to unity 5 engine, graphics facelift, tweaks to the gameplay, gamepad support (due to is coming for ps4/xb1 as well).. Call it an Enhanced Edition.. :)

    Even better. I've decided not to buy it now, because I already got stuff to play. Your post just added to why I shouldn't buy it now.
    There's always a next big sale. Hopefully by the time GOG makes another sale there's gonna be a patch for Wasteland 2.

    Did you know that you can play kinda upgraded Stalker S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha for free? Amazing look and cool gameplay. Might have few bugs but what Stalker doesn't?

    That song was originally with the first "The Transformers: The Movie" in 1986... Still waiting on Unicron in the new ones.



    Thought it was funny to hear it in Shadow Warrior though.
