REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it
By Starling
Posted on 06/15/13
E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

Humble Indie Bundle V Ends, Generates $5.1 Million

Posted on Friday, June 15 @ 17:54:11 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack
 

After over two weeks of The Humble Indie Bundle V being available, the deal of a lifetime has come to a close. As a result of great games being bundled together for the sake of charity nearly 600,000 bundles were sold, generating $5,106,887.23 at an average of $8.52 per bundle.

While the numbers are fantastic its success comes as no surprise. Although it was the fifth Humble Indie Bundle in history, it was inarguably the most compelling with award-winning games such as Braid, LIMBO, and Super Meat Boy included. I've spent over three days toggling between the games; at one moment I'm solving puzzles in LIMBO and the next minute I'm crying like a baby playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent. My Steam friends probably hate me, but I couldn't be more overwhelmed with awesome games. Thanks Humble Indie Bundle V!

A portion of the total generated money has been donated to Electronic Frontier Foundation and Child's Play Charity to both defend the rights of gamers and donate toys to children in hospitals. It's not a bad month to be a gamer.

    Paid $8 US for it before the bundle was expanded, which at the time beat the average. Can't say I've tried the whole bundle, but I can say that even with Bastion alone it's money well spent.

    You still get the extra games as long as you beat the price when you bought it. Just go to your download page and they should be there. I bought it for $8 as well when that beat the avg.

    I know that. I've also been playing Super Meat Boy.

    I've concluded that I lack the subtlety of movement that SMB requires.

    No love for Psychonauts? It is easily the best deal there, considering its length probably exceeds all the other games put together. Personally, I didn't buy into it; completely passed me by.

    I've purchased every Humble Bundle to date, and I plan to continue to do so. More often then not, I don't even find time to play some (most) of the games I've purchased, but I've never felt like it was a mistake to buy. Even the charity and EFF support aside, I think it's important to show that these non standard methods of offering independently developed games can work, to encourage others to think similarly outside the box.

    I already owned Psychonauts on PC, but I still got this bundle. Why? It's the retail CD version, and I now don't have to worry about installing 5 discs worth of content, praying none of them were scratched.

    Oh, and a mildly nerfed final level. That too.

    That final level was just insane. Talk about an exponential learning curve.

    Played Braid for an hour and it's been a great experience. Some of those early puzzles are a biiiiit crazy (Cloud Bridge, looking at you...) but learning how to control time is really awesome.

    I loved Braid! And don't worry, you'll find plenty of really crazy puzzles later on.
