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
Mortal Kombat 11: Ultimate Edition
Fear: Ultimate Shooter Edition
Middle-earth: Shadow of War Definitive Edition
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor GOTY Edition
Batman: Arkham Origins
Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition
Batman: Arkham City GOTY Edition
Batman: Arkham Knight Premium Edition
Injustice 2: Legendary Edition
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Watchmen: The End is Night Part 1 & Part 2
Mad Max
Mortal Kombat XL
Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition

Alas, there's nothing for _me_ to take advantage of here (you can all
guess why ;-) but I think you can see why this one caught my
attention. "FEAR" is a renowned PC classic (even if it is aging a
bit); "Batman:Arkham Asylum" helped redefine its genre, "Middle Earth:
Shadow of Mordor" is satisfying fantasy, and "Mad Max" is similarly
satisfying post-apocalyptic. Even the lesser games like the Injustice
titles or Mortal Kombat are pretty good.

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

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

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.
