Seems like Frozen Synapse in the bundle comes with an extra gift copy.

Frozen Synapse always comes with 2 copies when you buy it on Steam.

Everyone do yourselves a favor and buy The Walking Dead.

I know my recommendations might feel weightless, because I like so many games. But The Walking Dead, however, is my personal GOTY for 2012. It's one of the best implementations of storytelling, ambiguous moral choices, emotion, and human interaction that I've ever seen in a video game, ever.

Hell, the moral dilemmas faced in this game even surpass The Witcher in terms of complexity and urgency. You are forced to make some decisions here that will literally make you pause for a while and reflect on your own beliefs. But don't just buy it for that; buy it for the excellent writing, the interesting characters, and one of the most intense gaming experiences ever crafted.

Also, don't be put off by the "comic-book style" graphics. It's a very adult, thought-provoking game.

What I want to know is how you got a sense of urgency from The Witcher

What do you mean, "too short"? Each episode is 2-3 hours long. There are 5 episodes (2 have been released so far, #3 is releasing tomorrow). That's 10-15 hours of gameplay.

$15 for 15 hours of quality gameplay is not a bad deal, especially considering the amount of replayability.

 

[EDUSAN]

with 15 bucks i get access to all the episodes?

Yup. $15 buys the entire season, so even though Episode 4 and 5 aren't out yet, you'll get them automatically when they're released.

 

[EDUSAN]

ah ok, then its ok... i thought it was 15 bucks for only the 1st episode...

Thanks, I heard a lot of good things about the game but missed it during the summer sale.
