Hasta La Gadget!

We’ve seen the Humble Bundle be used to introduce some big games to new platforms in the past, and the latest offering is no exception. The 9th edition of the Indie Bundle sees both indie game favorite Fez and Mark of the Ninja making their debut on Mac and Linux. Along with those, you’ll get FTL: Faster Than Light, Trine 2 and Brutal Legend, plus the beta version of Eets Munchies, which is making its debut on all three platforms. As usual, you can pay whatever you like for the bundle and choose how much goes to the developers and charities (EFF, Child’s Play and Watsi), but you’ll have to pay more than the average to get Fez and FTL. Those not up on their indie gaming can get a taste of what’s in store in the video after the break — just don’t get your hopes up for a Fez sequel if you like what you find.

Humble Bundle has had a pretty good run with its game offerings so far, but its newest grouping of Origin titles provides some of its biggest names yet. Included in the bundle are Mirror’s Edge, Medal of Honor, Dead Space, Dead Space 3, Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, and Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box (most of which are available on Steam). The games can all be purchased for $1, but paying over the average (currently $4.54) will also net you Battlefield 3 and The Sims 3 Starter Pack. Buying the bundle won’t just score you some sweet games; you’ll also be contributing to a few good causes, as Electronic Arts is donating its share of the proceeds to charities like the Human Rights Campaign, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, the American Red Cross and the American Cancer Society. For more info, check out the video after the break or follow the Humble Bundle link below.

Who would’ve thought that letting consumers pay what they think is fair for quality games would prove popular? That’s the concept behind Humble Bundle, and so far, it’s been rather good to developers and charities alike. Now, deals from the company are set to get a whole lot more frequent, as it’s just announced weekly game sales that’ll supplement the monthly bundle offers. You’ll find a new game from Humble Bundle go up for sale each Tuesday, and to kick things off, the company is starting with Bastion, an RPG from Supergiant Games. Just $1 nets you a Steam key to the game, but if common decency isn’t enough of a reason to pay more, you’ll find bonus content and merchandise up for grabs, too. This week’s charities include the EFF and Child’s Play, but you’ve only got seven days to act before another game takes its place. Best start checking it out, and you can start with a demo of Bastion after the break.

Are you tired of your antagonistic friend Kevin berating you for not having played Capybara and Jim Guthrie collaboration Sword & Sworcery? “You’ve never played Sword & Sworcery? Dude, you should probably play Sword & Sworcery,” he says, in his mocking tone. Well enough of that — today is your first chance to snag Sword & Sworcery on your Android device for a potentially very low price. That price, of course, is up to you, as Sword & Sworcery is just one of six excellent games included in the fourth Humble Android Bundle, which launches today. Paying any amount nets you not just Superbrothers Sword & Sworcery EP, but also Waking Mars, Eufloria, Crayon Physics Deluxe, and Splice. Paying over the (variable) average amount will also get you a copy of (gorgeous) adventurer Machinarium. Beyond just Android, you’ll also get copies on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (pay $1 or more and you’ll even get Steam keys for each game) — it’s a pretty great deal. Even better? That money goes to charity! Just think how good that’ll feel to rub in that jerk Kevin’s face.

So let us get this right. You can pay what you want, and get another stack of games for your Android — or, indeed Mac, Windows or Linux machine? And help charity? And this is actually proving very popular? Yes, Fieldrunners, Bit.Trip Beat, Uplink and SpaceChem, are the latest games to get the Humble Bundle treatment on the aforementioned platforms (the latter two are tablet-only when buying for Android). Oh, and if you’re generous enough to pay above the average, you’ll unlock the Spirits platform-puzzler, too. We’re finding it pretty hard to argue with, especially as you get to decide the distribution of cash (between charity, the hardworking devs, or the platform-providing Humble). Judging by the real-time stats on the site, people aren’t holding back on the cash, either. Still not convinced? Hop on the free-for-life video after the break to see the games in action.
