Downloaded Lunar Flight Beta update and Fray, an alphafunding game today. I like online co-op games and Fray has a lot of potential. I like that the devs include a free CD key for me to give away as this could coax one of my friends into playing the game 8-)
I've been playing a lot of The Stanley Parable and No More Room In Hell lately. Both are Half-Life 2 mods and NMRIH (No More Room In Hell) is a blast to play online. I've played NMRIH every weekend since I installed it and have met a great group of people who also play the game. It's a really challenging game compared to what I'm used to in an FPS, and I like that it doesn't baby the player. For example: 1) In-game objects are not highlighted with the "halo" effect (i.e. soft glow) so common in games these days. 2) You don't pick-up objects by walking over them... you have to actually pick them up! 3) No More Room In Hell's maps are very dark. If you've properly calibrated your brightness settings, it's so dark that when it's "pitch-black" in the game, you can't see anything without a flashlight. About time someone made a game this way, and this is as it should be.
I'm generally having a blast playing all my new games, and I'm impressed with what's available here on Desura. If nothing else, it's great to have an alternative to Steam for some of the games I like (and I can buy things wherever the price is best :) Long live comparison shopping!
