General Humble Bundle/Weekly Sale Thread

I'm not really sure that I get the point. If a person wanted just that one game then wouldn't they have likely already picked it up from Steam or directly from the developer?

You'd think that, but you'd be underestimating how cheap people can be. Bastion looks nice, but I wasn't going to pay $15 for it (specifically because it's a digital download, I don't like paying more than $10 at the most for a game I can't even physically touch). I got it via an Indie Bundle for something like $4. There is the possibility that someone might be trying buying it as a cheap gift.

Also, I can understand why a developer would want their game featured in a bundle but why would they want to sell their game this way and basically compete against their own stores?

It's a strange quark of digital downloads, I find.

So, new weekly sale is up.

$1 for Darksiders (with OST) & Red Faction: Armageddon (with OST & Path of War DLC).
Beat the average for Darksiders II (with OST) & Red Faction: Guerrilla.

Sorta tempted on this one, specifically for cheap ass Darksiders II, although I'd prefer it on the PS3 and I'm not sure my PC can even run the game.

If screen tearing bothers you I'd recommend getting the PC version. Also, Darksiders 2 isn't that great anyways. It's a larger game, but the combat is worse and the story is boring.

New sales for this week:

$1 for:
Red Orchestra (+ OST)
Red Orchestra 2 (Game of the Year Edition + OST)

Minimum for:
Killing Floor (OST + 11 DLC packs)

Kinda interesting sale this week:

For $1:
Flotilla
Atom Zombie Smasher (+ OST)
Air Forte (+OST)

For minimum:
Thirty Flights of Loving (+ OST)

Flotilla doesn't look particularly interesting and Air Forte reminds me of the educational games I played in elementary school. Atom Zombie Smasher isn't bad, but it's been given out a few different times in other bundles so I imagine many buyers already have it. Thirty Flights of Loving is a kind of platforming point-and-click that can be completed in 10 or so minutes. Everyone I know that's played it has recommended it (supposedly the Steam version comes with a copy of the first game).

And now they are stopping the weekly sales for a bit. Didn't think this would last.

With all the recent gaming news being bad news, there's thankfully some good news. The Humble Weekly Sale is back and this time with Alan Wake and Alan Wake American Nightmare. This time there doesn't seem to be any sort of pay the average, so spending $1 will get you both games and a lot of extra content. If they add some additional content, just pay the extra to get that too.
