Magicka

Action RPG that comes out soon (the 25th). Apparently it's supposed to be humorous. Might be fun.

or 9,99€ in other parts of europe, like it is for me in germany :) However i wait for the steam version i think
I've just downloaded the demo, so gonna see if its worth my penny :)
Thanks for posting about this little gem. Tried the demo but there are a lot of bugs with the game right now. Apparently the devs are very communicative, though. And they have already released a fairly large patch and apparently will be patching things almost daily until the bugs are fixed.

The demo crashes on start for me, but I read some fixes this morning that I'll give a try later. For those that are able to play the game multiplayer without crashes, they apparently love it.

Paradox Interactive is known for releasing their games in a rushed and substandard state. It'll probably take months and at least one expansion before the game gets to a point where most developers would normally have considered releasing it. Just look at HoI3 which still has significant bugs and problems over a year after it was released and the players are left hoping that the second expansion which was recently announced will bring the game to a solidly enjoyable state.
