This bundle trumps all other current indie bundles combined x 10.

Yeah, it's ridiculously good. I jumped on it right away without a second thought. Limbo is amazing btw.

Is LIMBO really worth it just by itself?  Really, I mean.

I'm sure it's a good game, I read the review on RPS and I am interested, but I have a huge backlog already.

Such as Amnesia and Psychonauts.  I also have Bastion (finished, may play a New Game+ some day).  And I have little interest in Superbrothers, so LIMBO is the only reason I'd buy this bundle.

Also I just put Dead Pixels, 1000 Amps, and Airmech into my backlog.  1000 Amps is near the top.

Hm, looks like Superbrothers is for iDevices, and my mother just got an iPad.  Hm.

Ah, nope.  The one in the bundle appears to be for desktop only.  (True?)

Its quite short, so it won't take space in your backlog for very long.  :)

Personally, if you already have Amnesia, Psychonauts and Bastion, I wouldn't buy it just for Limbo myself.  (although since you can pay what you like, then I guess it doesn't matter if you do.  :) )

I bought it at full price ($10) and I thought it was totally worth that. Your mileage may vary, but one or two bucks isn't a huge gamble.

I already have most of these games except the Brothers one, I really want it, but I don't want to pay full price for the bundle for just one game :-/

That's such a subjective question that it's not really possible to answer in general. To me, hell yes it is. It's one of the few games that I wouldn't hesitate to classify as works of art. But as Biag said, your mileage may vary.

Well i just got this and am pleased :)

Also about the other recent bundles.  Many have been sorta iffy with may 1 sorta decent game as a draw and most of those games are free with ads on the VOID service with gamersgate.  (I'm looking at you Space Empires 4, Twin Sector, and Elven Legacy.)

This bundle is ridiculously good. Even though I've got everything but Sword & Sworcery, I'll get it for the soundtracks and DRM-freeness.

I find it funny that a couple games featured in this bundle are on sale right now on Steam.

Got this for offline (non-Steam) backups as well as for Bastion, since I heard so much about it. Already have Amnesia and Psychonauts, but nice to have them available for offline mode as well.

I'm considering buying a bundle of bundles for $1 and throwing them around like cheap candy.

I'm not sure whether to buy 20 or 100.

That is a little scummy, don't you think?  Remember, this is technically for charity.  Its supposed to be "Pay what you can afford", not "grab as many as you can for cheap and then making yourself look good by giving them away."

Really? Because the site says "Pay what you want."

They deliberatly chose to allow people to pay whatever they want for a reason. And it's as much for the developers and humble bundle team as it is for charity. Taking advantage of that isn't scummy in the same way getting buy-1-get-1-free offers isn't scummy. If they wanted people to pay a minimum of a pound or dollar then they'd have set the minimum price, nothing is stopping them.

Also: Is anyone else kinda sad that theres no android games anymore? That android bundle was probobly my favorite just because of not having to trawl around the google play store looking for something worthwhile. It'd be nice if they got at least one android game in each bundle. :(

Surprisingly, I didn't have any of these games before now. Judging by the number of custom stories for Amnesia, I'll be busy for quite some time.

Custom stories?! I've not played amnesia since it was released, are you telling me there's more of it to play now? :o

On the developer's web site, even. Check it out.

As a side note, I thought HBV sounded familiar. When I look at my archive of HB games, I already have a folder for 5. Steam calls this 8.

Oh nice! Now I'm going to have to re-install it.

And I think the numbering discrepencies might be because the last few haven't been HB propers, there was the android one for example with probobly doesn't count as a normal HB?
