The Humble Indie Bundle was a neat gimmick last year where a bunch of indie devs got together and put up a package deal -- you could buy a bunch of cool indie games for any price you wanted, and they'd included the option to donate the proceeds from your purchase to the EFF or Child's Play (or give it to the devs) in any proportion that you wanted. And now they're doing it again with a new set of games. The big name this time is Braid, but there's a bunch of others and they're all available on OSX and Linux as well as Windows.
Pyrel - an open-source rewrite of the Angband roguelike game in Python.

I did this for the last bundle, and was pleasantly surprised by a couple of the games and will follow and likely buy further games from these devs. It really did work well as a marketing tool. This set...doesn't seem nearly as appealing. But it's as cheap as I want it so I'll use it as a demo, and if I enjoy them, then I'll have yet more devs to follow...

Thanks for the reminder. I would have been quite sad if I could not get the bundle. I haven't played many of the other bundles. Quite honestly, I forgot about them. The ones I did play I enjoyed a lot. I was not the guy who paid 5,555.55$ for the bundle.

Got this one together with the previous one. Spent around 10 hours yesterday playing Aquaria. Fun times!

I recommend Braid to anyone who hasn't experienced it yet.

By the way, Osmos is a very neat little game that becomes pretty challenging on later stages (especially those with attractors, oh how I loathe attractors!). Nearly impossible to speedrun due to randomness and control complexity, though. :D

If you own an xbox360 and liked Braid as an "artsy" game, I recommend trying Limbo. (The trial is free, so it doesn't cost anything to try it.)

What if we just liked it as a good puzzle platformer?

Well, in that case too.

Also of note: If you pay more than the average payment, you get the first Humble Indie Bundle for free. http://www.humblebundle.com/bundle-in-bundle
