Time Gentlemen, Please is an utterly barmy indie adventure game, one of the most ludicrously silly and hilariously offensive titles you'll play all year. It was previously only available via developer Zombie Cow's website, but now you can grab it via the power of Direct2Drive.
It's also the sequel to Zombie Cow's freeware adventure Ben There, Dan That. For the sake of continuity and completeness, the Direct2Drive version of Time Gentlemen, Please comes bundled with that as well.
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."

"Welcome to the weekly series of Gaming on a Budget. 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."
I've been well impressed with Ben There Dan That (free) and once I've finished it I'll be buying TGP - best P&C adventure in a long time - the humour is very much in the same vein as the adventure games of old (Sam & Max, Monkey Island, Toonstruck etc).
It's brilliant, well worth the price.
