Hot off the heels of its successful (and slightly controversial) THQ set, the Humble Bundle is back to offering indie games for a nice low rate. This time you can get four games, an additional two for paying above the average, a full-length movie, and six soundtracks.
Do you enjoy playing video games on your personal computer, and have a few dollars spare? Then you have probably bought the Humble THQ Bundle already. If not, though, the pay-what-you-want bundle is now an even bigger bargain, as the publisher today threw in Relic's RTS Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War on top of the many other fine games already in it. It ends Wednesday, so get your skates on.
In what seems to be an odd move, Humble Bundle has teamed with publisher THQ to offer seven PC games in its traditional pay-what-you-want packs. It marks the first time Humble has bundled games from a large publisher, while packaging Windows-only games and using the Steam DRM.
Double Fine's first "Amnesia Fortnight," in which the company spent weeks refining prototypes to make into its most recent crop of games, was a great success. The second was made a bit more democratic, and four pitches have won the vote to become full PC prototypes.
Do you fancy playing the prototype of a four-player co-op mythological kill 'em up in development at Double Fine? If you do, and you probably do, you can get it by opening your wallet for the studio's latest Amnesia Fortnight experiment, which has turned its regular prototyping process public for we plebs to vote on. Everyone who previously bought the bundle has already received this new addition.
Recent Double Fine Productions fruits including Costume Quest and Iron Brigade were borne of the studio's 'Amnesia Fortnights,' where everyone sets aside their regular work to prototype wacky new ideas. Now Double Fine is opening that process up to the public, letting us slap down some money to choose which game ideas get made and receive those prototypes. If you've ever fancied a smell-based stealth game or Godzilla-inspired roguelike, you can now make that happen.
The pay-what-you-want Humble Android Bundle #4 was already a pretty flipping great offer, and now it's ludicrously so. As is customary, Humble Bundle has boshed in a whole load more multiplatform games for those who pay above the average price, namely Canabalt, Cogs, Zen Bound 2, Avadon: The Black Fortress, and Swords & Soldiers HD.
After promising not to bring its award-winning Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP to Android, developer Capybara has proven they are flat-out liars. "It's easy to look the other way when a few people request a port, but we've heard this request thousands and thousands of times, and who are we not to listen?," the developer notes in its blog. So yeah, it's happening.
Gaming is generally an expensive hobby, but you can make it work on a budget if you search the right spots. The Humble Bundle 6, for example, opened the other day to offer six games for around six bucks. Since that clearly wasn't enough to tempt some hold-outs, today it added four more.

Pay-what-you-want pioneers Humble Bundle have returned with another bargain bundle of top indie games for your purchasing pleasure. Its latest offering packs Dustforce, Rochard, Shatter, Space Pirates and Zombies, Torchlight and Vessel, along with most of their soundtracks.
The pay-what-you-want Humble Android Bundle 3 was already a fine deal, packing Fieldrunners, Bit.Trip Beat, SpaceChem and Uplink for PC, Mac, Linux and Android, and now it's an even bigger bargain. Paying above the average already got you Spirits too, and now four games from the original Humble Android Bundle have been chucked in on top of that, Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Edge, Osmos, and World of Goo. Can't say fairer than that, really.
The Humble Bundle is back on, this time offering a set of games for Android devices. It includes Fieldrunners, Bit.Trip Beat, SpaceChem, and Uplink. Paying more than the average (currently just over $6) gets you Spirits as well.
When Humble Bundle V launched, the general consensus was that it was one of the best collection of games ever put together. Clearly, many people agreed, making the last collection the most successful Humble Bundle yet.
As if the latest 'pay what you want' Humble Bundle weren't already an absurd bargain, today it added another three top games. Those who pay more than the average price, or have already, will now receive Braid, Lone Survivor and Super Meat Boy in addition to, oh boy, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Limbo, Psychonauts, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, and Bastion.
If you've been suffering indie game bundle fatigue, now that a new one launches almost every week, the latest Humble Bundle should perk you right back up. The 'pay what you want' Humble Indie Bundle V packs Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Limbo, Psychonauts, and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, plus, if you pay more than the average price, you get Bastion too.
