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.

The third and final volume of the Portal 2 soundtrack, Songs to Test By, has now been released by Valve. The first two volumes have been downloaded over two million times. In addition to songs such as "The Part Where He Kills You," "Spaaaaace," "TEST," and "Bombs For Throwing At You," there are also a few ringtones available. All three volumes can be downloaded individually, or you can grab the complete soundtrack in one download. With volume 3's 24 tracks, the soundtrack includes a total of 64 songs.

Oh, and clicking the hole created by the turret laser will also send you over to "Turret Lullaby," an amusing comic explaining why the turrets sing.

Finally, the announcement also reveals that Peer Review, the first Portal 2 DLC, will be released Wednesday (October 5th), for free. Another announcement said the date was October 4th, so we'll have to wait to see which date is accurate. Given Valve time, I'll guess with Wednesday for now. Peer Review will include a new co-op campaign, challenge mode, and online leaderboards.

Update: Peer Review has been released (on October 4th, shockingly!).
