Overall, Time Gentlemen, Please! is a definite improvement over Ben There, Dan That!, and it's an admirable achievement in its own right, especially for such a small development team. It's unapologetically retro, almost to a fault (and for some you can likely remove the "almost"), but the game's wacky storyline, laugh-out-loud moments, and respectable length make it a no-brainer for any fan of BTDT.
The puzzles may sometimes be obtuse and the dialogue raunchy, and only players willing to embrace a subtitle-only game need apply, but those who can force themselves to think abstractly and see humor in lewd subjects will find the game well worth the minimal purchase price (a little over $5 as of this writing) from the Zombie Cow website.
Gamesta is back with more indie deals. The latest Groupees bundle lets gamers pick their own selection once again, this time with an roleplaying vibe to be found in each title.

"Dan Marshall is a Bafta winning indie game developer – or at least that’s what his Twitter Bio says – and is the mastermind behind Time Gentlemen Please, Ben There Dan That and the upcoming titles Gun Monkeys and The Swindle. I recently had the chance to chat with Dan about The Swindle, why Time Gentlemen Please and Ben There Dan That are so cheap and what both Microsoft and Sony need to do to encourage more indies to their next generation platforms."

While video game prices are on the rise, there are plenty of great games, great deals, and great steals for those who don’t mind playing games after they have been out for a while. My objective in this article is not necessarily to review games, but introduce you to lesser known games, websites, and deals that may be hard to find. I help you get through the week with upcoming weekend sales, free play weekends, and a recap of games you should always have ready to play."
