The new Humble Indie Bundle is terrific. For a price of your own choosing, you can get indie gems Super Meat Boy, Bit. Trip Runner, Jamestown, Shank and Nightsky, as well as Cave Story + and Gratuitous Space Battles for paying more than the average selling price.
Today, the folks behind the bundle announced that they’ve added a new batch of games for anyone who pays more than the average price, which is currently at a mere $US5.16. So in addition to those seven games, you’ll get Crayon Physics Deluxe, Cogs, VVVVVV, Hammerfight, and And Yet It Moves. So, a bunch of games from the last Humble Bundle tacked on to an already killer lineup.
Need more incentive to pick this up? (Seriously? You do? Wow. You are demanding.) OK then, you’ll also get the soundtracks for every game thrown in for free.
I’m not sure what could make this deal more appealing. Maybe if they like… deliver you a pie, to your door. And give you a back massage while you eat it. Before dusting and re-threading the cables behind your TV.

Wednesday, December 21, 2011 at 2:44 PMThey stopped being “humble” when they started their whole “Pay more than average or we won’t let you play all the games!” thing imho

Wednesday, December 21, 2011 at 2:49 PMThe bundle is available to any donator. They offer bonuses to people who pay more than the average. And there’s really no reason not to pay above the average, if you ask me, especially since you can choose for it to go entirely to charity if you really want to stiff the developers.

Wednesday, December 21, 2011 at 3:16 PMI’m sorry, but what’s not “humble” about “Here are all these games. Pay whatever you want. Oh, pay more than the average price of $5, and we’ll throw in a few others”, especially when the average is only about 5 dollars due to people being cheapskates?
I’d pay five dollars for Super Meat Boy alone. The combined total is Far more than that and if you believe that in order for the bundle to be “humble” you should recieve every game and Not spend a few dollars at the least to do so, you’re no better than a pirate, good sir.

Thursday, December 22, 2011 at 1:02 AMReally your arguing that you have to beat the generally minor average to get the bonus
The fact is there are alot of scum who pay like 5 cents for it and buy 50 of them then resell codes at a later date
Having to beat the 5 dollar average for a bunch of games that generally anyone would be worth 5 dollars is really that hard.
If it’s that much of an issue obviously your being tight to begin with.
You probably spent more than the average on lunch

Wednesday, December 21, 2011 at 7:05 PMWhy aren’t people buying this? Seriously. I bought both Bundle 3 and 4 and have only downloaded one of two of the games. The money is going towards good things so that should be incentive enough.
