This is a fabulous bundle featuring several different genre of games from Horror, Racing, Tower Defense, RPG, Simulation and Strategy, there's more than enough to please everyone in this bundle. Even if most of the games don't appeal you're basically paying for the price of one arcade game from the likes of say Big Fish for 9 full version games each of which is easily worth more than the $7 that guarantees more later. You can pay even less if you wish, but that will exclude you from the surprises in store next week.
Achtung Panzer: Operation Star *:
This is a very good tank simulation; in fact one of the best i've played.
Achtung Panzer:Operation Star is an Eastern Front wargame with solid graphics and sprawling battlefields that really emphasize the scope of WWII tank combat. The gameplay is a remarkably realistic turn-based and real-time operational/tactical hybrid wargame that continues the series begun by the acclaimed Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943.
Want to step into the role of a commander in the very heart of Kharkov’s defense? You'll have everything the officers had back then: tanks, guns, and fearless soldiers. The success of each opposing force hangs in the balance every day. Your decisions will determine who wins the Battle of Kharkov.
The game features 8 operations for the Red Army and Wehrmacht with more than 60 detailed units of the Soviet Union, Germany, and UK, including the Pz IV "Tiger", Mk II "Matilda", and KV-1 with various modifications. Huge realistic landscapes (over 260 sq km) are reconstructed in detail with help of topographic maps and photos.

Battle Mages: Sign of Darkness *:
Battle Mages: Sign of Darkness is an enthralling journey to the world of original game. It offers four new campaigns, covering dramatic events that took place in Daenmor long before the Shadow of Warlock spread over the land. The player will discover the mysteries of the Order of the Keepers, confront treacherous plans of the elves, lead vengeful Orcs to the battle, oppose the creatures of Chaos, and of course the darkness will raise its flag over the green hills of Daenmor under his command.

Dangerous Waters:
S.C.S. - Dangerous Waters allows you total control over multiple air, surface, and submarine platforms in a modern-day naval environment. Take direct control of individual crew stations and also plan and execute combined arms naval strategies from a top-down 'Commanders Eye' perspective.
Personally I much prefer the Silent Hunter( games especially the last one Silent Hunter V); that said, this is still an excellent game released back in 2005 (about the same time as silent Hunter III)

Dark Fall: Lost Souls:
The Eerie World of Dark Fall: ‘Welcome’ to Dowerton; a once picturesque rural village, hidden away in the English countryside. Like many villages, Dowerton has been tainted by modernity and economic failure; sallow youths hide in the shadows, losing their minds to chemical slime, while others simply disappear into the woods, never to be seen again. The elders of the village hide indoors, all too aware of the darkness that lurks outside.
What has happened to Dowerton? The once grand Train Station was the heart of the community, but only the very brave, or the very stupid, now approach the place, while it slipsfurther into dereliction with each passing day. Adjoining the Station, is the Victorian Station Hotel. Once a haven for weary travellers and adulterous lovers, the hotel is now in ruins. Rot, decay and time are tearing the place to pieces...leaving you very little time. For you will be entering the old Hotel at Dowerton, for one last time, to learn the secret of the Dark Fall.
You must watch your step, and never turn your back on the darkness....Something evil, unknowable and hungry is hiding in the darkness of these old buildings. It wants your soul; to feed upon, devour and torture. Can you make the ghosts your ally so you can battle against the darkness that lurks in that long forgotten, abandoned place?

Sentinel 3 *:
This is the third installment of the Sentinel franchise; a sci fi themed tower defence game where the player takes the fight to alien world. what i like about this game compared to a lot of other TD games is the number of weapons you get to use (20 unlockable turrets, orbital ship weapons, automated drones and other abilities); basically more than most TD games, with the ability to customise your load out so the potential for replayability is very high as no two games will be the same; so you're guaranteed to find lots of different ways of destroying those alien hoards.
