SteamWorld Heist 

I finally picked this game up on a sale. I believe the regular price for game is 15 dollars and it was on sale for 8 or 9 during the holiday season. This game is probably worth the full 15 dollar price if you enjoy turned based strategy games.

If you don't like turn based strategy games there is still a chance you might enjoy this title but probably only a slim chance. The game has a decent amount of unique characters with their own special abilities (the redneck farmer girl comes in handy during the final boss with her special move to be able to fire another shot if she has a kill shot (helps destroy the orbs that provide shields)).

Anyways, this game got a decent amount of playtime but I would avoid the DLC. I thought there was going to be a bunch of new levels in a new area that takes place after the main story but it seems like they just put a few levels here and there in the old areas. You get a new character which is nice but when I clicked on the wormhole which I thought might lead me to a new area it just restarted the entire game with all characters available at start. So the DLC isn't worth it and I suppose I should have looked more into what it had to offer before buying.

Tank Troopers

This game has potential but it seems to be best suited for multiplayer.  It even lets others do a download play even if they don't own the game.  However, it only has local multiplayer option with no online option.  It would have been nice if there was online play for this game and would have really made it worth the money.

So I have just been playing the single player missions.  There are 36 tanks in all ranging from tanks based off real life tanks from the past and made up funky ones.  You have to unlock pretty much everything in game which means a lot of replaying missions (especially if you get stuck).  The single player missions are split in between two different modes.  One mode they give you a tank and different heroes as a preset with no option of changing it and the other mode is custom where you select whatever tank you have in your garage and pick heroes that you want.   I believe there are a total of 30 missions and they are the same for each mode with only difference in that custom mode is where you choose your layout.  Most missions are fun but some are pretty damn annoying such as mission 15 protecting 3 repair trucks which don't move (usually they will follow you around in other missions healing you).  However, in this mission they just sit there and they blow up in one hit.  That one took me at least 10 trys before I somehow ended with one truck still alive.
