The Humble Indie Bundle V

Humble Indie Bundle V features five incredible, best-selling games plus their soundtracks (in both FLAC and MP3 formats). “Experience the fear and paranoia of Amnesia: The Dark Descent; the intensity and impact of LIMBO; the zany characters of Psychonauts; the future-retro, audiovisual concoction of Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP; and, for customers who pay more than the average price, the exquisitely crafted action-RPG, Bastion.” If you bought these games separately, it would cost around $110, but they are letting you set the price. Pay a $1 or more and you can optionally get a key to redeem the games on Steam (for Mac and Windows). The games work great on a Mac but if you need to check system requirements, they are here.

The Humble Indie Bundle V includes lots of great titles and their accompanied soundtracks, giving you plenty of unique Indie gaming to keep you out of the summer heat. You can find links to all the great games below.

There’s fourteen days left to donate, so you have plenty of time to cash in your paycheck and donate to a worthy cause; donate to the developers, the Child’s Play Charity, or the Electronic Frontier Foundation. If you like this deal, Humble Bundle is also accepting tips. They have already sold over 26,000 copies in the first 30 minutes! Be sure to check out The Humble Indie Bundle V official launch video after the break and get amped up!

Note: The Mac edition of S:S&S EP will also be popping up on Steam sometime today, plus it’ll show up on the Mac App Store before the “summer solstice”.
