Get Five Great Indie Games for Any Price You Want
"Pay What You Want" sales are great things. For those who may be unfamiliar with the phenomenon, it's a pretty simple concept: Game makers put their product on sale and you get to pick the price. Indie hits pretty well [http://www.worldofgoo.com/].
But the new Humble Indie Bundle takes it a step further by offering not just one game at any price you'd care to name, but five - and they aren't sucko pieces of crap, either. The bundle includes World of Goo, Penumbra Overture [http://www.bit-blot.com/aquaria/], all for the low, low price of whatever the hell you want to pay.
And that's not all! Some or all (or none, if you're that kind of person) of the bundle's price can be directed to the Child's Play [http://www.eff.org/]; the payment can be divided into any proportions the buyer wants.
Four out of five of these games are pretty damn good (I've never played Lugaru, but it looks pretty groovy) and putting them together in a bundle and letting people slap their own price tag on it is just mind-bogglingly awesome. Of course, there will always be wolfire.com/humble [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/97366-Name-Your-Own-Price-for-Crayon-Physics-Deluxe].
