Humble Bundle 2 out now
« on: December 14, 2010, 01:50:12 pm »
You'll no doubt read about this on your gaming news feed of choice this week but worth plugging it here too as it supports the Childs Play charity...

http://www.humblebundle.com/

Available for one week only. Games are Braid, Cortex Command (currently in Beta), Machinarium, Osmos, Revenge of the Titans (also beta). Pay as much or as little as you want for the bundle and decide what proportion goes to the developers and the two charities. DRM-free and no limit on activations. The last bundle had license keys that activated on Steam but this came a while later.

Have to say this is well worth it for Braid and Revenge of the Titans alone, both of which were on my want list already. Played the Braid demo and it is beautiful and innovative, I generally have a very brief attention span with ultra-tough platformers but will give this another go. Revenge of the Titans is an intriguing arcade-style take on tower defence with Puppy Games' lovely retro-graphics style. I was waiting to see how some of the gameplay concepts panned out in the Beta before buying - will definitely get it now though!

Just bought 2 copies (1 for me and one for a friend)!  I already own Osmos, and have beaten braid like twice, but just Revenge of the Titans and Cortex Command make it worth it. :D
Avid League player and apparently back from the dead!

If we weren't going for your money, you wouldn't have gotten as much value for it!

Oh, wait... *causation loop detonates*

Those are the only two I want. I already own Braid and I played Osmos and Machinarium before, but didn't like them enough to want to buy them.

EDIT: Out of pure curiosity I put in $0.00. It worked until PayPal was all like "You need to actually enter a value."

EDIT2: I've been playing Revenge of the Titans and Cortex Command. Revenge of the Titans is probably one of the only Tower Defense games I've played and actually really enjoyed, and Cortex Command is just a blast. I know it's "In Development" but other than the Campaign Mode that's not there, I really don't see much in the way of missing features. I mean heck, there's built in editors for darn near everything (I need to get on making some maps at least). My only complaint is the font is anything but legible when you're playing at anything larger than 800x600 resolution. Oh, and multiplayer is local, which isnt a bad thing, and I love the integration (It even picked up my random 3rd party USB Sega Genesis controller, and my Joystick of all things) but internet play would be nice. Otherwise, I'm having a ton of fun with it. Good thing I'm on break right now or my GPA would be tanking, between this and AI War :)
