Humble Bundle #2 - Great indy games - name your price!

Osmos - Humble Bundle 2

The independent games humble bundle offer is back again, better than before. It is a pay-what-you-want offer for 5 indy games, all of which have support for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. If you pay above the average, you get the previous humble-bundle pack of 6 games as well! A very good deal for whatever you want to pay! (Makes an excellent Christmas present!) Anyone studying games design or games programming should get these games to learn from them - what works, what doesn't? Braid is a fabulous example of teaching the player the game without needing to give them a tutorial, and many of these games are great examples of the scope you should aim for if you are making your own game.

The games included are:

• Braid - a side scrolling puzzle/adventure through time. Nicely designed gameplay.
  
• Cortex Command - side scroller, not very impressive.
  
• Machinarium - a point and click adventure game, nice graphics, pretty decent.
  
• Osmos - an ambient physics-based "eating" game (you absorb smaller entities). Good gameplay and a great "programmer-game" (nice graphics). My pick of the lot. (only $10 separately)
  
• Revenge of the Titans - a tower-defense (build towers that destroy enemies) game. Nothing special.
  

The other games are:

• World of Goo - a construction puzzle game. Lots of fun.
  
• Aquaria - an underwater fantasy game.
  
• Gish - a platform game.
  
• Lugaru - 3D action adventure game.
  
• Penumbrac - a FPS/adventure game.
  
• Samorost 2 - a flash-based puzzle game.
  

If you pay 10 USD to get them all, that works out to less than a dollar a game, and I guarantee you will find at least one game you think is worth $10 in the humble (cross-platform games) bundle.
