The Humble Indie Bundle allows gamers to donate as little or as much as they like to walk away with 4 (or 5, if you decide to pledge more than the current average). Proceeds go towards two charity's-EFF and Child's Play Charity, whilst also giving the purchaser the option to contribute to the games developers.


The five games on offer are: Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Psychonauts, Limbo, Superbrothers: Sword and Sorcery EP, and the game you unlock if you pay over the average is Bastion.

Not only is this all for a great cause, but the games on offer are excellent. Plus, seeing as you decide the price...you could be walking way with quite the bargain here. Go check it out!

Soundtracks to be Bundled With Indie Games

Humble Indie Bundle is a site which allows gamers to pay what they want for one of their featured games. The proceeds from the sale go to charity, whilst the gamer gets a copy of their game for Mac, Windows or Linux. The site has already brought in over $1.4 million dollars in only a few days, but Humble Indie Bundle has now included free soundtracks to all seven independent games for everyone who donates and purchases a copy of one of the games.


The music can be downloaded after the game has been downloaded, and can be found in a link to the right of the platform selection tool on the post-purchase landing page.


Many of these games have excellent accompanying music, with Super Meat Boy and Cave Story getting my thumbs up.
