    Kind of interested in this one, mostly for The Shivah. Just not sure any of the others appeal to me. (Osmos could be a nice zen game.)

    Bundles are dead to me. Osmos is okay, but nothing great. It's been in multiple past bundles.

    Osmos is very good, and very challenging. Yeah, it's starts easy and casual, but wait until it goes hardcore on your ass. You'll yell "Epicycles!" in the middle of the night.

    Bundle in a Box Adventure Bundle up http://bundle-in-a-box.com/ . Games are Gemini Rue, Ben There Dan That!, Time Gentleman Please!, 1893: A World's Fair Mystery, and The Sea Will Claim Everything. First 3 include steam and desura codes. Everything can be downloaded drm free too.

    Current min is $2.99 and it seems that will decrease as they hit sales milestones. Beating the average (currently $5.something) also gets you The Shivah and some game called Metal Dead.

    I'll be waiting a bit for the min and average to go down. The bundle will be up for 2 weeks.

  10. Though I ended up buying it at the dollar level just for 7 more Steam games I'll never ever play. Gotta get my Steam game count over 1,000!

    Making History might be interesting in multiplayer...


    Edit: I've just played the tutorial (with Czechoslovakia :roll:). It does look interesting.

    Another Indie Royale is live and it's pretty meh: The Void (was available in a 5 for $5 pack on Steam), Dead Pixels, The Ship, 1000 Amps, Laser Cat, and the beta of a F2P game. Only the Ship, 1000 Amps, and Void are Steam Keys (as is the F2P beta).

    Also a new Humble Indie Bundle (and beat the average) has been added to the Steam registry.

    Play Space Station 13 instead.

  16. I tried playing Space Station 13. I docked in a shuttle, then some swirling black vortex tore a hole in the station and I ran and hid in a maintenance room with a naked dead body until I couldn't take it any longer and threw myself into the vacuum of space. NEVER AGAIN.

    I'd take Disciples 2: Galleans Return off your hands for sure if you still have it.

    I'd love to get Torchlight or Space Empires if you've still got them and no one cooler wanted them.

    The new Humble Bundle is apparently launching within minutes for anyone browsing the forums now.

    Amnesia, Psychonauts, LIMBO, Superbrothers: Swords & Sorcery + Bastion if you beat the average. Not bad, think I'll bite.

    Got in at $6.25. Bastion will probably drop to $3.75 during the summer sale so your best bet could be just to pay $1 and wait but, at most I overpaid $1.50... and I get to play the games now versus four weeks from now. Already owned Pyschonauts and had no interest in Limbo but amazing deal if you owned none/want them all.

    Is Bastion worth 5.15$, compared to other four which are worth 0.20$ each?

    The last humble indie bundles have been consistently having a $6+ average. It won't go lower. As far as what Bastion is worth, as I said, it could very well be $3.75 during the Steam Summer Sale. At most you'd save yourself $1.50 (as of the time of this post -- price rising) by waiting another month. In the interim you could probably find that much in change in your couch.
