Here you go!

The only game thing where other people pretend to be as awesome as Toady One!

The games are:

Hotline Miami
Proteus
Little Inferno
Awesomenauts
Capsized
Thomas was Alone
Dear Esther

It's apparently pretty cool.

It's worth at least $15 just for Hotline: Miami.

Gotta agree with Scelly9. Even if you dont want any of the other games from this bundle, you really should get it just for Hotline Miami.

Well maybe not $15 since it only costs $9.99 on steam (w/o sale) :)

That said I've heard great things and I suspect it's worth getting it for effectively half price (and DRM free) along with the other games.

I have Capsized from a previous bundle, it's fun enough (would be more fun if their multiplayer was LAN and not local), haven't played the others.

I've been interested in Dear Esther. Now, when I buy it, I can get a bunch of other games that people say are fun. Go Humble Bundle!

The style of Hotline Miami hasn't appealed to me, but its gameplay has. Now I can see myself, for cheap. Go Humble Bundle!

I said what it's worth, not what it sells for.

Awesomenauts and Dear Esther look good, and I don't have any of the games. Went ahead and picked it up.

Awesomenauts is amazing. Picked this up just so I can share that particular game :) Mildly curious about some of the others.

If not under Neotemplar look for Vellum.

I don't know what I was expecting from that game but I can confidently say that it exceeded expectations. I wandered around for a full fifty minutes trying to see everything. It actually made me feel awe, wonder and (in one case) dread.

It's beautiful.

I really didn't like it :( I thought it was going to be really interesting because of all the rave reviews, but it literally turned out to be slow walking through similar landscapes in 4 different seasons, with about 3 or 4 types of flora and 3 or 4 types of fauna. That's about it, or am I missing something? I mean, reaching the island was nice at first, and it is pretty, with some nice music, but that was about it :\

Perhaps I'm just too stressed out to enjoy it at the moment? But I doubt I'll go back to it anyways.

It's the little touches. The soundtrack changes depending on what's nearby and during autumn certain things happen if you just wait. I like it mostly because it's a massive change of pace compared to most other games.

After finishing Little Inferno I think this might be the best Bundle I've bought.

It really takes a certain kind of person to enjoy games like Proteus. I personally thought it was overambitious and boring, but I guess I play Runescape so it might be that.

That said, still an awesome bundle. Awesomenauts and Hotline Miami = win.

The Humble bundle really does please. Biggest complaint I have is the lack of Hotline Miami sound track.  >:(

I love Hotline Miami but I really wish it was longer/had more content. I breezed through the game in just a few hours (threeish?). Currently up to 5 hours after almost getting A+ on all levels, "true" ending, all masks and the majority of the achievements. Not sure if I can be bothered doing the more "grindy" achievements.
Can't wait for the sequel in which I really want to see online multiplayer with a deathmatch mode. Imagine the chaos of two teams (or free for all!) each massacring the other. It would be glorious.
