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.

Humble Voxatron Debut/Bundle

Tech Tales
The Indie Royale Launch Bundle recently concluded, but now a new Humble Bundle is available, conveniently. Initially this new "Debut" only included Voxatron, a voxel-based top-down shooter with destructible environments which is still in alpha. Later, two "completed" games were added: The Binding of Isaac and Blocks That Matter. The Binding of Isaac is the only game I've already played; it's great, and you should buy it. If you purchased the bundle while only Voxatron was available, you'll get both new games for free. For new purchases, you'll have to pay above the average (currently $4.86, still a great deal).

As usual, all three games work on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and are of course DRM-free. Binding of Isaac and Blocks That Matter are both redeemable on Steam. Voxatron may eventually be redeemable on Steam, but there are no promises on that. Payments can as always be divided between the three game developers, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Child's Play, and the Humble Bundle itself.

With a little under 11 days left, this Bundle has already been purchased over 120,000 times for over $587,000. Notch currently leads the pack with a contribution of $2000. Head on over to the Humble Bundle page and buy a bundle to support indie game developers and two great charities.
