Humble Bundle is back, again. This time they have Frozen Synapse, and if you pay more than the average (right now, it's $4.51), you will also get the Frozen Bundle which includes Trine, Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds: Survivor, Splot, and Jack Claw. They are all cross-platform, and DRM-Free. You can also redeem them from Steam, Direct2Drive, and Desura. I don't think 5 bucks would even get you one of these games on Steam.

I got the last Humble Bundle, and was pleased with the content and price, so I'll probably get this one, too.

Check it out:

I know I'm bumping a pretty old thread but I thought it would be nice to let everyone know that the Humble Bundle is back again! This time, the lineup is insane:

- Amnesia: The Dark Descent
- Psychonauts
- LIMBO
- Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP
- Bastion (if you pay more than the average)

And the charities are:
- The Electronic Frontier Foundation
- Child's Play

I mainly bought this Humble Bundle about a week ago for Psychonauts, then I started playing the Swords and Sworcery EP. I love it. It's done in a 16-bit graphic design, but for some reason, it just looks better to me than a lot of stuff I've seen lately, I'm a sucker for design. I can't get LIMBO to work, which isn't a huge deal thought.

I wonder if it's better than the ipad version, because I played that one, and found the "game" parts (where you time taps) to be annoying

I think I'm gonna start reviewing the Bundle games as I beat them so people know if it's worth getting. I'm likely going to be buying the next bundles as long as the games are of my interest/stuff I've played and wanted to replay.

Lone Survivor 9/10 - Minimalistic story, creepy "zombie" side scrolling puzzle game. Reminded me of Silent Hill if it were on the NES/SNES. The art style looks 8-bit, but each "pixel" is actually detailed to look like a ceramic tile. As far as gameplay goes, it's all arrow keys and the keyboard for hotkeys.
Lone Survivor - Launch Trailer - YouTube
Braid 7/10 - Platforming puzzle game with a pretty decent story with a couple of plot twists. Involves nothing but puzzles, some that I actually had to youtube to figure out. Controls are arrow keys along with space for jump and shift for time reversal. Very simple to use.
Braid Trailer - YouTube
Amnesia: Dark Descent 10/10 - Still my favourite horror game to date. Awesome story, great sense of helplessness and fear. Overall, I think this game alone is worth it. Graphics are also great, especially monster designs. Gameplay isn't the easiest to master right away. I remember when I first played though the game I'd find myself trying to run, but accidently pressing my inventory or the "lean" keys. Works once you get it, sucks when you don't.
Amnesia The Dark Descent - Official Trailer [HD] - YouTube
Swords & Sworcery 8.5/10 - Not quite through it yet, but I love it. It's a cool story with modern day quirks of twitter and facebook thrown into the mix. There's no integration with facebook, however, you can tweet anything that is said in the game as it is being said. This game is played completely point and click. The "battle" sequences are composed of you facing the enemy and having a sword and shield buttons on screen. You must click these to use them.
Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP - YouTube

Limbo would not work, and I don't have a controller to play Psychonauts on my laptop right now, however I did try playing with arrow keys and a mouse, but there's just too many hotkeys that I found I was constantly moving my hands around. Definitely meant for a console in my opinion.

It's games from Telltale games, which includes Back to the Future, Sam and Max, and if you donate more than the average ($4.11 currently), you'll also get Walking Dead. I think the cheapest I've seen Walking Dead is $8 or $9 bucks.

Keep in mind that they no longer give you Steam keys, they will add the games directly to your library. At least that's how it was with the last bundle.

I already have both Batmans, I guess I'll pick it up for Fear 2 and 3?

Edit: Oh look, you can gift the keys (http://support.humblebundle.com/customer/portal/articles/1356336-gifting-steam-keys) instead now

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x108/Brianrieta/civ5_zpsf61e8ea3.png

:alonehappy: Stupid extended period of disability and then unemployment.

Anyways, much like Civ V really came into it's own after Gods and Kings, Civ IV was like that with Beyond the Sword. I don't know how many hours I put into that as I had a physical disk but I played IV a lot through university. It was obviously the pinnacle of the classic Civilization games, as coming from a long time Sid Meier's Civilization, II, IV and V player, I have to say that Civ V has strayed more than a little from the formula, what with the hex and no unit stacking (for both the better and worse). I admit I find it hard to go back a game in chronology and really get into it. I can go from playing V, to II, and then to IV but I can't stand going back from V directly to IV. Just like after playing Skyrim I can't go back to Oblivion and enjoy it as easily as I could go from Skyrim back to Morrowind.

IV is worth getting though for sure.

SkinnyPupp
02-04-2014, 03:14 PM
200 actually seems really low to me... I played it pretty much non stop for several weeks while I was on my 'sabbatical'

But yeah it really got great after G&K so there may not be much reason to invest in the older game

Shit now I want to play but I need to work... Gahhhhhh

It's different. I wouldn't say better necessarily; it depends on your personal preferences.

Civ 4 + expansions is definitely better than vanilla Civ 5, but Gods & Kings put Civ 5 on the same level. I'm mixed on Brave New World.

Like Brianrietta, I have way too many hours logged into Civ 5 (and Civ 4 and Civ 3). I'm definitely over 1000 hours for Civ V.

http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j45/prestox/HumbleBundles/adultswim_zps80d5d3d5.png (https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly)

The Adult Swim selection didn't interest me, at all. I threw $1 at the Pax10 bundle, and paid above average for the Jumbo Bundle.

Today, I noticed a cool update with your Humble Bundle Library. If you scroll to the bottom of your Library, it'll show you all the titles you haven't redeemed, yet. This is, especially, handy for those times where more games get added to the above average price:
