usual, this is because I'll be AFK when the games actually release, so
I'm posting it ahead of time just to be sure you all know about these
freebies. Sure, it's extra work for me, but I'm glad to do it. It has
nothing to do with pre-empting Ant and getting all those sweet, sweet
Internet Points for myself. ;-)

Two pieces of crap worse than shovelware.  I already had Idle D&D on some previous giveaway on Steam.  I wish there was a way to make them pay me a penalty for having it.

* River City Girls

     Oh thank gog, not another F2P game. This is a game
     they'd actually expect you to pay for. It's basically
     a retro-styled side-scrolling brawler (think "Double
     Dragon"), except --as should be obvious by the title--
     the protagonists are teen girls. It's fine, I  suppose.
     It's not really a genre I'm into, so it's hard for me
     to judge. The visuals are nice enough, I suppose, and
     the reviews are generally favorable. If you enjoy this
     style of game, I suppose it's worth grabbing it. As
     for me, it's just padding out The Number. That's a bunt
     and you're safe on first, Epic.

I didn't get it, when I checked Epic earlier, but I did like Double Dragon, but that was ~40 years ago.  I'll go back and get it though just on the off chance.
