Humble Indie Bundle V is available for a fortnight (http://www.humblebundle.com/?hib5). The usual pay what you want model is being used. Games included:-
Psychonauts
Amnesia
Bastion
Limbo
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
Don't know what else to say except wtaf.
Bastion is only included if you pay more than $7.XX (which I'm sure people would).
It's a definite purchase for me - and will be my first Mac purchase. Might as well get some use out of it.
I've never really liked the others - play the games a few times and then forget about 'em...
This one bundle didn´t get into me too.
Good value I think though. :)
Already got it! :P
Yes I think it's great value as well, just Bastion and Amnesia are worth it already.
I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Psychonauts included though. I understand that many people like Tim Schafer's works but calling Psychonauts (published back in 2006 for every major console and PC) or any of his works "independent" is just plain incorrect.
Bought it for limbo, played the demo a while back and really liked it.
Amnesia looks interesting, i saw it being recommended a lot when
looking for first person adventures recently.
Don't know much about the others though

Yep, I took a personal guess that psycho would be the prime horse on this deal.
I agree with you, nothing indepentent on double´s fine front.
But still, nothing there appeals to me...it is probably just the moment.
Psychonauts is definitely not indie. I was confused by that too ;/
I've played through Psychonauts already and played through Amnesia too many times *fear smiley* so I'm getting this for Bastion.

It really is quite poor. It certainly won't have you laying man eggs like the reviewers say ;)
They are really hitting the spot with this bundle.

I doubt Notch will support this one bunble... :D :D :D
Is it possible for us to see the figures going on individual games?
One thing that always strikes me on a good way, is to see the value MAC and LINUX users put into it. :good:
Doesn't look like there's more info than the one already visible there. It would be interesting info, although maybe it would be comparatively aggravating if they did so, or maybe the majority of people don't even care to the point of changing the money split (myself included) so it doesn't really make an impact.

The real reason Ian doesn't like this game is because it cost him twenty pairs of pants before he got past the first loading screen. :P
Seriously though, the puzzles can be very frustrating if you get stuck on them, which you will at some point. I found that broke the immersion. Since immersion is everything with Amnesia I found a walkthrough that got me through the puzzles yet didn't contain any 'fun' spoilers: http://www.gamefaqs.com/mac/605845-amnesia-the-dark-descent/faqs I recommend using it when you really need to.
Play it alone, with headphones on loud and in the dark. Its the only way.

I know you don't like Amnesia but what do you think of this on first impression: -

I LOVE horror - books, films, games. None of which gives me nightmares or scares the crap out of me. And this game certainly doesn't. I found it tedious to the extreme - even with headphones on while playing in the dark.
That vid looks pretty interesting - it's certainly original in that you play as a baby/small child, so the perspective is different. I would presume that the kid doesn't use weapons against the enemy either - perhaps just using it's physical differences to hide and escape under and in things like vents etc. Nice to be able to see hands and feet in a FPS too. This interests me far more than Amnesia. :)
