With the arrival of Spring, naturally Spring cleaning is sure to follow. We here at GameAgent wanted to clean up and streamline our delivery of sales and information on Fridays so we’re not bombarding you with multiple posts. Instead we will now give you the Weekly Round-Up. Here’s what it will contain:
What happens when DLC practices go too far? An indie developer makes a game that mocks the industry and its foibles, that’s what! Defeat the bad guy, save the world and get the girl! But first you’ll need to find coins to buy DLC to enable animation, sound and even pausing.
Thankfully this is just satire and all the DLC is purchased with in-game coins. But consider it a cautionary tale for the future…
If you want to stay young at heart, and sharp mentally, take a few minutes a day and train your brain!

For the next 2 days (the last 2 days in February, 2013) BioShock 2 for the Mac is only $9.99! With a bargain like that, here’s some compelling reasons why you should explore this game:
Sequels bear a heavy burden. They are continuously compared to the original with a lot of scrutiny. Stick too closely to the formula of the first game and people view it as unoriginal or a cash grab. Veer to far from the proven formula of the first game and the audience thinks you’ve lost the plot or just used the name to nab a built-in audience. Some have succeeded with sequels: Mega Man 2, Call of Duty 2 and Civilization V are all worthy sequels. I’m here to tell you that BioShock 2 is worth adding to that list and worth your time.
Here’s a rundown of the aspects of this game that make it a must-play title: (more…)
