New Humble Bundle is out. It's a "Greatest Hits" collection of sorts, dubbed "All-Stars" and consisting of some of the best indie games from previous bundles.

Tier 1 (Pay what you want):

  • World of Goo
  • Super Meat Boy
  • Dustforce DX

Tier 2 (Pay more than the average):

  • Dungeon Defenders Collection
  • LIMBO
  • Braid

Tier 3 (Pay $1 above the average or more):

  • Risk of Rain
  • Antichamber

Since I have all these games, I probably won't buy the bundle. If I do, it might be for the DRM-free copies of Risk of Rain and Braid, for I already own Steam copies of everything else in here.

I already have all of them except World of Goo and Dustform. So I'll pass.

But it's a good deal for anyone who missed those games the first time around.

Already have, have, have, have, don't have, have, have and have

Only one game I don't have. That moment when you realize bundles are no longer satisfying.

Insufficient interest, not interested, have, have, have, have, have.

If they could bring back Aquaria, then that'd be way more interesting. I already have it, but it's a thing that's hardly seen much in the way of sales and stuff for a while now, but it still has a lot of star power.

Well, I will freely admit that they've got me thoroughly confused with their 2015 E3 Ticket. Half of the items seem to be beta keys or coupons to the store.

And this time, we have the Humble Borderlands Bundle.

The minimum nets you Borderlands and its first three expansions.

Beating the average also includes Borderlands 2, Gaige, Krieg, the Creature Slaughterdome, a 75% off coupon for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! and some additional items to be unveiled next week.'

$15 would get you the season pass to 2, Upgrade Pack 2, Son of Crawmerax and a 25% off coupon for any 2K merch.

I grabbed that as soon as I could. The first game still runs surprisingly well on my PC.

As for the current bundle, it's a doozy: a cavalcade of creation engines and resources. It includes:

  • Game Guru and Axis Game Factory, which I'm not familiar with.
  • a 1-year license for Stencyl.
  • huge discounts on an RPG Maker game engine of your choice (2000, 2003, or XP).
  • several RPG Maker resource packs
  • a few RPG Maker games, including Last Word and Remnants of Isolation
  • ...and more!

Sweet mother of discounts the normal price for those engines is vastly worth numerous times over what the set price is.

Hell yeah! Aside from the RPG Maker stuff, I don't plan on using the other engines very extensively, though I will definitely try each of them out for a few minutes.

New games added to the Jumbo Bundle 4's Beat the Average tier. They are:

Correction: I was also missing Endless Space, which I also picked up. I gave the rest of the games from the bundle to my brother (except for Space Engineers, which I didn't pay for since it's still in beta).

That depends. How far will you go for Rome?

($15 for Rome - Emperor Edition plus packs is a pretty good buy if you want Rome at all.)

Word is that the bugs are mostly patched. It's still not the same as Rome 1 (and thank Ceiling Cat for that).

I sent in a query as to whether they could provide any details on the bundles (since otherwise, it's kind of a blind gamble), and got the following:

The games included in the Humble Monthly subscription are meant to be a secret, so you’ll never know what you’re going to get until after the games are released! What I can say is that each month, subscribers will get around 5 games that are a mix of hit new releases and classic games. The total value of each month's Humble Monthly Bundle can vary pretty widely, but what we can say right now is that you should be able to expect the combined MSRP of more than $70 per month.

I think the concept is alright, but I don't know that I have time enough to play those 5 games a month and I have no idea whether I'd even like the games they'd send me.

This doesn't sound like a particularly good idea, to be honest, unless you very frequently play games.

Imagine you got four games, and each game is a 10 hour thing. To complete all four games, you'd have to play about one game a week.

That's a very fast turnaround.

Some people have way too much time.

Some people routinely collect games.

My only concern is also the reason I don't buy humble bundles normally these days. I already collect games that interest me on my own, so there's always an overlap. Not that I don't mind having some more presents to hand out during the holidays, but I suspect I will have a vast number of them come this time next year if I subscribe.
