I got Darwinia, the Guild, Psychonauts, and Indigo Prophecy on Saturday for 23 bucks total.
I went back on Sunday and got some Broken Sword game, Bad Day LA, Swat 4, Harbinger, and some random 3d space RTS for 29 bucks total.
I don't have a pc to play any of them on yet, but hell, I made a pretty nice haul.
EDIT: The 3D space RTS is Project Earth.

Conquest is an excellent lesser known Space RTS. If you can find a copy of that im pretty sure youll have fun with it.

I assume you are referring to Europa 1400: The Guild, which is an interesting mix of management simulation with some RPG elements. It's a smart, deep game with some very interesting political/economic mechanics and is worth the four or six bucks it is selling for at Big Lots-I've always thought of it as "Sims for sophisticated gamers", and I keep it on my laptop because it is one of the perfect laptop games.
My take on those games:
Darwinia is offbeat but pretty good-not great through. I admit that I like a little more meat in my RTS games than it offered, so it may have been just a matter of taste-I thought it was definitely a 6-7/10 game.
Indigo Prophecy is totally love/hate and I stopped posting any opinions about it since people are so polarized one way or another. OK, I'll say I liked it a lot and would recommend people play it, but I'm not saying anything more!
Psychonauts is probably the best platformer that's seen a release on the PC since Rayman 2 at looks gorgeous at high res and buttery framerates. Only some lame platform elements near the end really downer the experience. Worth playing just for the milkman conspiracy.
Bad Day LA is crushingly awful.
SWAT 4 is a brilliant.
Never played Harbinger, Project Earth, or the Broken Sword game.

How does the game handle combat?

Also, Project Earth got 2/10 from Eurogamer :lol :lol :lol

I've seen Kameo, PD0, PGR3, and wireless 360 controllers at Big Lots in the past.

as great as a deal as that sounds, i can't stand big lots. the place is a dump.

You should just go in anyway. Save yourself a few bucks.
As a side note, the big lots I went to was cleaner than the local walmart where I used to work over the summer :rofl

The last time I went into Big Lots down here and took a look at the customers I'll bet there wasn't a mouthful of teeth in the whole place

I can't talk about anybody's teeth, mine are all sorts of crooked.
