You can get Albion for less in sales and if you can live without the superbox bonus content, then no.

As someone whose been enjoying Star Trek Online's space battles lately, I'm intrigued by this bundle if only to actually play a real space sim. But would this be like wading in ankle deep water (STO) and then leaping into the ocean during a storm (X Series)? IE, way too much way too soon?

Has STO improved? been a while since i actually tried it...

I only started playing recently, so I can't really say. I really enjoy the space combat part of it. Ground battles aren't half as good.

No.. The sim part is easier than most space sims. And if you suck at it (like I do sometimes) then you can always use missiles :D. They are good games imho. Not just the space sim, but the entire universe, which is btw a sandbox empire building in the style of Eve Online. But single player only of course. Which is a bonus for me :D

It has, a bit. There's much more stuff to do now, and it's a lot more polished. Ground combats were also changed for the better, with a possibility of an actual direct control.

So what kind of games those X games really are? The videos tell me nothing else that they are space sims, but what kind of space sims? Wing Commander? Elite?

Elite. They're basically TES in space with a much bigger focus on economy and smaller focus on combat.

Ninja'd

Another one, only want Sine Mora from this one so me'll pass

Sine Mora looks incredible! I hope it is as good as it looks.

Hmmm, has anyone tried JA: Back in Action? Is the $6 tier worth it?

Ugh, another Steam only one. The weekly sale has really gone downhill. The Arcen one was great if you missed Indie Royale's Arcen bundle but it seems that over half of them are just Steam key sales.

I just posted this on the general gaming deals thread too, I was rather hoping that this here Focus bundle I've heard so much about was going to show up this week too...
