The bundle packages together 5 indie games for $5. It includes Digitanks, an artillery-based strategy game where players build an army of tanks, Spring Up Harmony, a colorful physics-based action-puzzler, Mactabilis, an HD shooter that features RPG customization of your ship, Steel Storm: Burning Retribution, a top-down shooter that takes place in an alternate universe, and Delve Deeper, a fantasy adventure/strategy game that looks something like a side-scrolling Dungeon Keeper.

Pretty cool, I'll say. Its lasting for 8 more days as of this post.

Hmm, I might actually skip this one.  These games don't appeal to me as much as the other humble bundles, and I've already got delve deeper.

From what I can tell this is not a Wolfire bundle, that is to say, it's not one of the famous "humble indie bundles" that you actually pay what you want for.

Only one I've heard of is Delve Deeper which was a cool concept I didn't really dig the execution of. Still, for $5 I could do a lot worse with my money

Ah, my mistake.

Never even heard of these.

So, if I bought this, only Delve Deeper is redeemable at steam, the rest I would have to go to yet another digital distribution site called Desura.

What can you guys tell me about Desura then? I don't really want yet another of these in my life. I already have to deal with Steam, Gamers Gate, Impulse and GoG (oh, and a couple games on D2D).

Desura is more Indie and Mod-based than Steam, being run by the people who do ModDB and now IndieDB. Otherwise, it seems very similar in design philosophy to Steam.

an important distinction, mind you, is that the real Humble Bundles have a charity piece, you can decide if the money goes to the game makers or to some charities or both or dont care.
