VGW: There’s no denying it that game design and creation is becoming the sort of thing that the “everyman” developer can feasibly pursue. Even the budding game design enthusiasts can find a creative outlet in Media Molecule’s Little Big Planet series. You might even notice that online distributors like Steam are becoming hotbeds for up-and-coming developers as an outlet for propagating new and interesting ideas and game mechanics. Surely, with all of these avenues available for publishing, one would find it rather easy to create an idea and watch it flourish among the gaming public.
Unfortunately for one-man-developer, David Johnston, his development cycle took some strange turns that prolonged his release of The Adventures of Shuggy nearly two years past its completion.
Hardcore Gamer: A mere $4 gets you One Finger Death Punch, which Totalbiscuit recently raved about, Paranormal, Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers, Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood, Hexcells, The Adventures of Shuggy, Critical Mass, and CreaVures.

"The boxiest of all the bundles is back and I have dragged myself out of bundle-based retirement to cover it. Not like I used to mind you, with an ill-informed, rushed and relatively lazy new post, but with insightful (hopefully) and worthwhile (probably a bit of a stretch) reviews of the games. Think of it as something akin to my coverage of the very first Bundle in a Box – where I reviewed the debuting (and incredible) The Sea Will Claim Everything - but with a slightly less penetrative, far more promiscuous gaze."
Gamesta.com has a few more bundles to go to. The latest Bundle in a Box launched its Eclectic Delights, which offer 5 core titles for just $0.99 or 9 games for those that beat an average standing at less than 3 bucks at the time of writing.
