Worth the purchase?
Broken sword 5 and Blackwell have never been bundled before, and they are awesome games

I'll probably have a spare broken sword 5 since I going to take the $8 and I already got it in my library, wanna trade for it?

Too bad, could have helped you out with a key for Night of the Rabbit, but have no spares for those others. I wouldn't spend $8 for them either btw. Although Epiphany alone might be worth it, it's just my wallet doesn't allow it (and reason says it will be in a cheaper bundle sooner or later anyways). Awesome series, the Blackwell games!

I'm interested in them as well, but Epiphany is the last one in the series and I don't have the rest of the Blackwell Bundle, so it doesn't make sense for me to start at the end. :)
I wish they had Broken Sword 4 & 5 since those are the two I'm missing...

Oh, I wanted the novelist, so I will at least buy the $1 tier :)

If I didn't already have the Novelist it would be instabuy. That was such a fantastic game, I highly recommend it!

I'm glad to see The Novelist in a $1 tier
BTA is weird, I don't know why Always Sometimes Monsters & Night of the Rabbit are there

I liked it. It reminded me of old-school detective shows on the tv like Agatha Christie or Poirot.
It's quite slow-paced and I enjoyed that, it was gentle and charming as far as I was concerned. I've heard others critcise it for same reason, thinking that it's pace too slow and boring rather than it being an endearing feature.

Already have Stacking, Syberia, and Night of the Rabbit. But I'm seriously tempted to go for the third tier, and I've only done that once or twice before as I'm too cheap/broke to do it often, but damn I'm a sucker for adventure games and those are really great ones.

Eh, it's a pass for me. I have 3 out of 4 in the $1 tier, 2 out of 3 in the BTA, and the $8 tier's not worth it.
If you don't have any of these games, I recommend Stacking, The Novelist, and Always Sometimes Monsters. Stacking is an adventure game where you play a nesting doll trying to free your siblings from their terrible fates after your Mom sells them off to the game's villain.
The Novelist is a story based CYOA where you play as a ghost watching over the Kaplan family over the course of a summer. Depending on your choices, you can either drive the family apart or bring them back together.
And Always Sometimes Monsters is a story based RPG Maker game. You start out as a writer after a bad breakup with your partner. Life is shitty without them, you are suffering from a huge case of writer's block that threatens to destroy your career, and you are on the edge of being kicked out of your apartment. As the game goes on, you must make choices that can either lead to a reunion with your ex (that sadly does not get the resolution it deserves in the epilogue) or lead to your eventual spiral into despair.

Bought the BTA. Some good stuff, and some good giveaways. =)

Only missing Broken Sword from the first 2 tiers. It's on my wishlist and I don't think it's been as cheap as the bta price anywhere on it's own so will probably pick it up.
Other than that I don't have Blackwell Epiphany. Never played any of the Blackwell games, but have heard good things about them. Might try one or two out and if I like them I suppose I could up my payment.

The Blackwell series games are among the best adventures games ever created in my book. I highly recommend them, but to enjoy them to the fulllest they need to be played in order, as they reveal a bigger story arch slowly as they progress that connects all of them together and keeps up the interest for the characters all the way through. I think I never ever cared more for any video game character than I care for Rosangela Blackwell and Joey Mallone (I didn't even have to look their names up). It's almost as if I knew them personally laughs

Well, the Blackwell Bundle was on sale last summer for $1.99, so it might be worth watching for again this summer.

The first one is REALLY indie, the second one is great, the third one is stepping into typical point 'n' click territory of unrealism, the fourth one was where the creator lost it and turned a series of small episodes into a convoluted, overcomplicated, mystical über-conspiracy. I bought the bundle for the final episode, but I will start it with some scepticism. It can still end great though, but the whole Super-Secret-World-Domination-Medium-Illuminati-Society aspect of the fourth one made me kinda cautious.
Still, among the quasi one-man indie adventure titles, it is one of the best series.

Got it now, thank you.
Wanted 2 games, the Raven Thief and Broken Sword, worth it for those two alone.
