    Alice O'Connor posted a new article, Humble Indie Bundle 5 launches: Psychonauts, Limbo, Amnesia and more.

    If you've been suffering from indie game bundle fatigue, this should snap you out of it. Humble Indie Bundle V has launched, offering Amnesia, Limbo, Psychonauts, and Sword & Sworcery for whatever you fancy paying. Pay more than the average, and you'll get Bastion too.
