Up to 80% off Armello, Aqua Kitty, Dust: An Elysian Tail, and Inherit the Earth!



Having a pet around the house is all fine and dandy, until saliva-free peripherals become a rare commodity. Or until you find your new pair of 5.1 headphones sticking out of the litter box. It would seem that cute, furry beasts and games don't mix well, but we've got solid proof this is not the case. Sure, things can get hairy when gaming around unruly pets, but try gaming with them and it's fun times for everyone involved. Especially when they are one of <span class="bold">The Furry Few</span>, the Weekly Staff Picks starring our cuddly co-habitants of the planet.

In the jungle of war there is always a lion. Or a wolf. Or an otter. If you thought human power struggles are intense, try clawing, backstabbing or weaseling your way to the throne of the animal kingdom as one of the eight Armello clan heroes. And while you are falling in love with the charming cartoon visuals and the sublime soundtrack, this tabletop strategy game with subtle RPG sensibilities will manage to keep you up until it's time for your dog's morning walk.

Dust, the amnesiac, death-dealing protagonist of An Elysian Tail is not one for words. But while he slices, dices and double-jumps his way through breathtaking glades, mountaintops and dimly lit caves, his chatty nimbat companion and sentient sword make sure there is not a dull moment to be had. Especially if you make a point of delivering death through spectacular combos, or discovering the awesome collectibles scattered around this fairy-tale world.



So welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games, everything you want and we even know the names! They are called <span class="bold">The Furry Few</span> and they are our four Weekly Staff Picks, going for up to 80% off. Nudge them out of hibernation and get ready, for they will be eager to play. And not always nice… The promo will last until January 14, 10:59 AM GMT.
Forum reveal post! Yet another staff pick that doesn't interest me enough, regarding the discounts, though...
Not my type, maybe to others.
No thanks, nothing I'd be interested in for this price.
That announcement description made me laugh...
I absolutely approve this kind of weekly pick. If you like metroidvanias (or just really gorgeous 2d games) and haven't played Dust yet then what are you doing reading this while still not owning it? Go for it!

absolutely agreed. dust is a winner :)

dust is absolutely worth your time at this price.
so is inherit the earth.

[but be aware that ite has mazes. it's best to look for solutions to those mazes because they can be a little obtuse.]

Armello looks interesting ... will wait a bit though.
I really enjoyed Dust finishing it a few months back. Great story telling and graphics, well worth every penny.

Considering the the theme of this week's promo, it would be great to see a surprise release for Jazz Jackrabbit :D

Yeah, Dust is an awesome game. Not too hard so it's not frustrating, but with lots of exploration so it's not too short either. Controls are good, graphics and animations are nice... Cool stuff. :)
