I already have most of these, but I'll give them some cash anyway. And a lot more than the "average". Glad some groups are open minded to this sort of thing.

Got this. Good bundle again, last one introduced me to the really AMAZING game VVVVVV.
Been mostly playing Super meat boy which I overlooked when it came earlier to xbox live, but it is actually fun to play. Also Cave story plus offers a whole new world with its updated graphics. Then there is Jamestown ofcourse. These are the games which are worth the money enough in this bundle. Don´t really care for the mandatory physics and "modern" game.

I wasn't expecting to like NightSky but it's really a very well designed game. Much more fun than I anticipated.

Don't worry about it. You can travel from the Milky Way to Andromeda and back 1500 times before the sun explodes.

Steam is not needed, why would you think so?

All of the games in these bundles are in DRM-free form (no Steam required) when you download them, although they do allow the option to activate on Steam or Desura as well (at least that's what they did on the last bundle.)

No Desura on this bundle, but yeah all of them can be downloaded as standalone files.

hehe, when I first played it, I kept thinking this was going to be more about the atmosphere than the puzzles. but hell, the game is really hard in Alt. mode. I still haven't beaten that mode and I got the game the week it was released. though I'm getting the bundle for the HD version and Jamestown. Cave Story, while being a great game, I'm not one to grab it just because there's new graphics. I already bought the wii version and quite love it.

Definitely the best bundle so far. HIB is doing awesome things for Linux and Mac gaming.

Just added five more games and their soundtracks to the list.

I really wish I had a PC that didn't choke on anything remotely game-related.

Hammerfight is one of the funnest action games ever made. Set the mouse slider to minimum, don't autodetect.

Then he says to the white dude "Watch out for that black dude, he wants a piece of your cookie!"
