The Humble Indie Bundle 5 now includes Braid, Super Meat Boy and Lone Survivor.
Last week, the Humble Indie Bundle 5 went live, boasting an incredible line-up of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Swords and Sworcery, LIMBO, Psychonauts and a beat the average bonus of Bastion. This has been regarded one of the best indie bundles yet.
Ah, Christmas, the season of giving. Amongst all the novelty jumpers, office party debauchery and iffy mince pies, it’s truly a season filled with sincerity and generosity, and it’s a common sight to see the gaming community involving themselves in the jubilant festivities of the holiday season. But what must come hand-in-hand with such merriment is a period of reflection, a notion of sympathy for those not as fortunate as we are. So as you bathe in the warm glow of your monitor one Christmas evening, take a moment to consider the poor folks on the street, the unfortunate children in hospitals, and remember just how lucky you are.
Every year, the industry developers do anything they can to help bring their games to a broader audience. For indie developers, this means getting together with other developers and releasing your games in bundles. For big studios and publishers, it simply means taking older, more popular franchises and reissuing them out into the wild with slightly updated graphics and trophy/achievement support. This year was no exception. We saw major publishers release popular franchise combinations such as Devil May Cry HD Collection and God of War Saga. We also saw independent developers release amazing bundles much like The Humble Indie Bundle 5. So which bundles were among the best this year…?
Recently, over at indieroyale.com, there was a new Indie Bundle released, containing five indie titles for those of you looking for something a little different in your games library. For those of you that have not heard of the Humble Indie Bundle before, its essentially a way of showcasing the best indie titles in a recent time, and available for a much reduced price. There is a minimum price, as well as a suggested price.
And that’s what Pure Sophistry is going to talk about this week.
Hell yes! Man I love those Humble Bundle guys! I've really been wanting to play Lone Survivor. XD
