Three Survival Horror Games ... Cheap. And For Linux!

Well, here I go, pimping the competition again. Well, that's me I guess.

Andy Blower just let me know about a weekend deal on the Penumbra Collection... This weekend only, the entire trilogy can be had for $5 - total - on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

The Penumbra Collection is a trilogy of three physics-heavy "Horror Adventure" games. Swedish developer Frictional Games is a small, professional indie shop with a grand total of four developers who created this series (and have a new game in development). They are a tiny development house really focused on horror-based games, and I like to support that.

So, we're talking dirt-cheap entertainment here. And games with native support for Mac and Linux, which is unfortunately pretty rare.

Check Out the Penumbra Collection - On Sale This Weekend!

I'd definitely like to second the Penumbra series being great. I recently played through all three and wrote some impressions/review on my blog. Check it out (obviously start from the bottom).
