If you want to support independent game developers but don't want to spend a lot of money doing it, Direct2Drive's latest game sale is just up your alley. They have collected five recent indie games into one bundle and for a limited time you can get all five for a super low price.

The bundle includes the tower defense game Defense Grid, the odd adventure game The Path, the weird looking first person action game Zeno Clash, the political simulation-strategy title Democracy 2 and the puzzle title Cogs. All five can be yours now for just $17.75. Normally you would have to pay $77.75 to buy each title separately. There's no word on how long this bundle deal will last.

In about a half-hour, we will have a new President of the US. So it makes sense that some folks are taking advantage of the opportunity to promote new games and game deals. One of these companies is IGS who is releasing a new PC game called Commander in Chief. Developed by French based Eversim the title was previously released in Europe as Mission President. It allows players to take over as the leader of any country on Earth. You can create a Cabinet to help run the government and then makes decisions on military, economic, social and other issues.

Also today, the Democracy 2 web site is offering a one-day online sale of their political sim game from developer Positech Games. You can purchase and download the full version for just $9.99, a 50 percent discount from its usual price. You can download a free demo of the game right here at Big Download.

This minor patch for Democracy 2 updates the game to version 1.23. It fixes a small list of bugs and adds some game enhancements. Continue reading for the list of changes.

"Democracy 2 is the ultimate political strategy / simulation game. Based on a sophisticated neural network, the game simulates the motivations, loyalties and desires of everyone in the country. As president or prime minister, it's your job to balance the need for income from taxes against the demands of the voters. Do you want your country to be an eco-friendly green paradise? or a socialist utopia? Will you pander to the patriots, the liberals or the religious pressure groups? Can you keep crime under control without destroying the civil liberties of your citizens?"
