I bet the game is on sale again (maybe even cheaper) this October.<\/p>\n<p>I also decided to hold off on <em>Hoard<\/em> for now.  While the price seems to be a good deal, after doing a little research I am not sure that the game has an active online community base (probably just a dedicated few gamers).  This is a classic chicken and egg situation; even if the game on sale, if no one picks it up due to a dead online community, the online community will never grow.  For now I am going to take my chances that the price will drop again or Sony will offer it up as part of a Plus free game (or heavily discounted), which would in turn build up the online community (at least for a little while).<\/p>\n<p>I almost held off on <em>Space Invaders Infinity Gene<\/em>; almost.  The under $5 price point was too good to pass up.  I missed out on the predecessor to this <em>Space Invaders<\/em> next generation reboot, so I am kind of going into this one blind, but from all the positive feedback <em>Infinity Gene<\/em> has received, I have a feeling that this one was a good buy.  Besides, one can never have too many shooters!<\/p>\n<p>Two solid games for under $10; color me pleased!<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mentioned in my comments yesterday about the 11 for 2011 Sale, I did pick up Tumble, but was on the fence with several other potential purchases.
