To be fair, this is day one of the bundle. They still have two weeks for that average to rise, which it undoubtedly will.Nimzar said:

Just because they now own the rights outright does not make it indie. They created the game and under a publisher. The studio is Indie and they have the rights back to their game but that by no means makes the game an indie game.Aidinthel said:
Tim Schafer and the Bastion narrator in the same video?
It feels like there should be an award for that.

I was so looking forward to playing some of these games tonight. I made a sizable donation, then waited... No keys or download links came in the email. Tried the key resender, said my email was in the database, still no email came(even checked the spam folders). So I sent them an email with the transaction id, still waiting...
Oh well, no games until tomorrow.
*Edit* After reading their twitter, looks like they are have email problems with their web app.

I fail.... I haven't played any of these games D:
What game should I start first? ((This deal is too good to pass, I DO want to play every game))

I bought it for Superbrothers, Limbo and the music (already own Amnesia, Psychonauts and Bastion). I still paid $10 for it. Because I always do with HB.
Are you currently constipated? If yes, Amnesia. If no, still Amnesia. You will never find Doom 3 scary every again.The Mighty Stove said:

I'd be ridiculously excited about this if I didn't already own every single game in the bundle (yes, even Super Brothers).
At this point, it's not even "support these unknown developers and give money to charity" anymore. Now, it's just "here's a ton of stupidly awesome games for an obscenely low price".

I did. All the confirmation emails say $10, so I'm not sure exactly what I've paid in real money (about £8, I think) but the transaction was definitely accepted and I've got my games.b3nn3tt said:
Everyone owes it to themselves to play Psychonauts, it's one of my favourite games of all time. And I must have replayed it half a dozen times or more yet I *still* occasionally find clever little touches and snippets of dialogue I never spotted before. Hell they even covered situations you can only get into by cheating!The Mighty Stove said:
Seriously, all 5 are well worth your time though, so it depends on your mood. In rough order of my personal preference:
- If you fancy a platformer with seriously inventive level design and hilarious writing, go Psychonauts
- If you could go for something mind-shatteringly terrifying, go Amnesia
- If you want a colourful, slickly executed action RPG with a really distinctive setting and clever, memorable voice-acting, go Bastion
- If a bleak and darkly funny 2D platformer/puzzler with a wonderful silhouetted art-style appeals, go Limbo
- For a relaxed adventure game with cool pixellated graphics and an evocative soundtrack, go Sword & Sworcery
Just to be nitpicky, shouldn't that be 'over the average'?Andy Chalk said:
OT: I downloaded this last night. The last game I played on PC was, I think, Red Alert 2. I have no idea what the technical capabilities of my machine are, I'm crap with computers and I anticipate a lot of frustration trying to get these things to work, but having played a couple of demos for them on my 360 I decided it was worth it.
So expect a forum thread in the next few days where I beg assistance from anyone willing to coach a technophobe through the process of making PC games work. And I swear, the first person to mention the "glorius PC master race" is getting a shoe thrown at them...
The reason I don't already own Bastion and Psychonauts (the others I'm not as interested in) is because they both cost a fair amount of cash from the XBLA, and I don't have that kind of money to throw around. When a chance comes along to pay $10 for five well-reviewed games, two of which I really want to pay, I'm going to take it even if it means leaving my platform of choice and entering the murky, error-riddled world of PC gaming.Nimzar said:
I may have "only" paid ten dollars, but that's more than paying a single cent or just pirating the game. When I bought it last night, you had to pay a minimum of $7.15 to unlock Bastion, but instead of settling with the bare minimum I went a little over. It's what I can afford to pay, and in fact it's more than I'd have liked to pay (because who wouldn't rather get stuff for as cheap as they can? That's capitalism for you), but it's for a good cause and it is a great deal so I figured I could stretch to a few extra dollars.
Wow, I already have 3 of the 5 but I'm still sorely tempted. The soundtrack for Bastion alone is phenomenal and worth the money, and the other soundtracks + the other games would be great too. And not to mention the trailer was great - Logan Cunningham and Tim Schafer together make a great pair.
