Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII Reviewed: Great RPGs

My dual reviews of Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII, two great retro RPGs available as a bundle. Cthulhu, which was developed second, is undoubtedly the better game, but Breath of Death is worth playing too.

Tech Tales
Today I won my second giveaway on SteamGifts. Last time, I won Jamestown, an enjoyable indie top-down shooter, and gave away two copies of Terraria in turn. This time...well, this time, I won Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, an almost brand new $50 game. In case that wasn't enough, the gift was pre-ordered, meaning that a copy of Darksiders ($20) was included too.

Thanks to the generosity of Illbeans, I have $70 worth of new games to play. In celebration, I bought a copy of Bastion to give away. I had heard many good things about Bastion from friends and other people, so I bought a copy for myself as well. You can enter the Bastion giveaway if you're a SteamGifts member. 

If not, from the previous post...

"If you're not a member yet, you will need an invite code. These codes are generated by existing community members for a variable point cost (50 at the moment). Occasionally special multi-use promotional codes are created by site staff as well. Luckily, I have 1 6 spare codes and Propugnator has 3 some spare codes to giveaway too. But the SteamGifts community needs good community members; these codes will not be given away randomly.

If you would like a code, convince one of us that you would be a good choice for an invitation. Link to a giveaway you've made somewhere else or a contribution you've made to another community, or write out a great explanation of why you'd really like an invite. Really, anything could work. It's up to you, but anyone trying to purchase or trade something for an invite code will be ignored."

I've played a bit of both Bastion and Space Marine , and they're both a lot of fun. I probably wouldn't have bought Space Marine on my own, at least not until the price dropped; being able to experience the game now is great.
