The folks at The Humble Bundle are back again, but this time they’re taking a slightly different spin on things with their new Android Bundle!  The new Android Bundle includes the following games:

• Anomaly: Warzone Earth
• Osmos
• Edge

And just like previous Humble Bundles, if you pay more than the average price, you’ll unlock an additional game.  And if you pay more than the average price for the Android Bundle (currently at $5.93) you will get access to The World of Goo!

And not only will you get these games on the Android, but you’ll also be able to play them on Linux, Mac, and Windows!

The folks over at the Indie Royale are back again, and this time they’ve put together The Serious Sam Lightning Pack!  Their latest bundle includes the following games:

• Serious Sam: The Random Encounter
• Serious Sam Double D
• Serious Sam: Kamikaze Attack
• Serious Sam: The First & Second Encounter
• Bonus: Serious Sam: The Greek Encounter

And just like previous Indie Royale bundles, you will only need to match or beat the current minimum price to get all of the games in this bundle.

Stardock has announced that Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity, their epic 4X space strategy game, is now available on Steam.  And to help celebrate this news, Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity is on sale for 25% off the rest of this week on both Steam and Impulse.

About the Game

In Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity, you are the leader of a civilization embroiled in a galactic war, fighting for the survival of your entire race against relentless foes. Your success will depend entirely on your ability to manage your empire and command your vast fleets of starships to victory.

Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity is a “RT4X” game, blending the epic strategy and empire management of the 4X genre (Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate) with the fast-paced and tactical elements of real-times strategy.

Key features:

• Explore the epic scale of a dynamic 3D galaxy featuring planets, asteroids, plasma storms, stars and more.
• Take on multiple roles as you seamlessly transition between the role of emperor and fleet commander using Sins’ unique strategic zoom.
• Extensive diplomatic and economic strategies are yours to wield to your advantage. Forge alliances, establish powerful pacts with allies to open up new bonuses, setup trade between empires and use pirates to take out over-powered tyrants.
• Fight epic battles with hundreds of ships on-screen at once, with up to 10,000 particles firing off in full-out combat.
• Seamless zoom in and out, from looking at a one-man fighter to viewing your entire empire spanning billions of kilometers of space.
• Defend your worlds by constructing massive starbases, deploying deadly minefields, and researching advanced defensive technologies.
• Create strong alliances and gain powerful pact bonuses using the all new diplomacy system.
• Bribe or hire pirates to wipe out your opponents, but beware, the pirates gain strength over time and can also be used against you!
• Play online with up to 10 friends via Ironclad Online.

I haven’t played magic in years but have been interested in picking up Duels of the Planeswalker 2012 since it launched, so I am definitely all over this deal!  Feel free to add me to Steam – IronSerif.

See ya online!

Here is the current lineup:

• Wii Sports
• Animal Crossing: City Folk
• Mario Super Sluggers
• Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

New games just added:

• Super Mario Galaxy
• Mario Strikers Charged
• Punch-Out!!
• Super Paper Mario

Definitely some great deals in here, most notably Super Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I know I personally paid full-price for all three of those when they were first released, and I’m surprised that it took this long to drop the price. They were well worth the original price and now at 19.99 each, you can expand your Wii collection with some top-notch games for cheap. And don’t forget, the upcoming Wii-U will be backwards compatible with all Wii software and peripherals!

OnLive is one of the leaders of the cloud gaming movement. “What is cloud gaming?” you may be asking. Cloud gaming is what you would use if you want to play newer PC games without being able to afford a killer PC. The way it works is that you pay for the game and it is installed to a server just for you in the OnLive (or whichever service you use) server room. Then you log on from your PC and stream the game over the internet. It isn’t the most perfect way to play a game, there is delay and the potential of the servers going down or the service being discontinued, but it will be perfected and I believe become a new medium for those of us who have to buy our own computers and just don’t have the money to spend on a top notch gaming rig.

OnLive is currently having a fantastic deal to help get people into the service, which I would recomend anyone jump on as soon as possible. If you preorder Homefront from OnLive you will get a free OnLive Game System, which is a box you hook to your TV that acts in place of your computer, it even has a decent controller included to enjoy the action with. You will also get a free Play Pass (means a free install of the game basically) for Metro 2033, a remarkable first person shooter released by THQ last March. That is a $99 value for free when you preorder a $50 dollar game that, with all honesty, looks damn good to begin with.

Homefront is being release March 15th for the PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3 and I know I will be picking it up myself (I preordered it from Best Buy to get the free limited edition headset). The game is a first person shooter set in a quite plausible future in which the US economy completely collapses and North Korea rejoins South Korea to become a new super power under the rule of Kim Jong-il’s son. After a Korean super-weapon disables the entire US infrastructure the Korean army invades. The player takes the role of a member of a small underground resistance movement which is taking a stand against the invaders in Montrose, Colorodo. Sound a little like the classic film Red Dawn? That is because the game is written by John Milius who also wrote that film back in the 80′s; he has also co-written a prequel novel set in the early months of the invasion titled Homefront: The Voice of Freedom, which I am currently reading, it’s pretty good so far so if you have any interest in the game check it out.
