    WB Games might not be a great corporation, but over the years they've
    managed to put out (or at least, acquire the fights to) quite a few
    great games. If you missed out on any of them, now's your chance to
    snag 'em on the cheap; Humble is having a "WB Play the Legends" bundle
    were you can grab 16 games for $12USD, which is a pretty fantastic
    deal even if you already own a few of the games.

    Here's the list:

    Gotham Knights
    Back 4 Blood
    [snip]

    Oh god, don't remind me of B4B.... I played the open beta and hated it.

    It's definitely at least worth a look...


    I will admit, if I cared about any of these games, it would be an
    incredible deal.

    I was going to do mount a defense of the game and then I realized what
    I actually was thinking of was "Evolved". _That_ game had a really
    terrible beta too and while its final form wasn't GREAT it wasn't hate-worthy.

    But "Back4Blood" was different. It shows how important Valve was to
    making "Left4Dead" the classic it became. Without their backing,
    TurtleRock Studios just doesn't have the resources (whether its a lack
    of skill or money, I can't say) to push out a polished game. I didn't
    play B4B long enough to HATE it but nothing about it made me want to
    stick around and see more. Especially when I could just go back and
    play "Left4Dead" instead.


    Remember, if any game is billed as "from the developers of X", be very
    afraid.
