**### UPDATE (Aug-05-2011):**
Now Includes two more games. And if you pay more than the current average (currently $5.45) you ALSO get bundle #2. That's right 12 games for less than $6 (or more if you're a good person) AND YOU HELP CHARITY!

Howdy,
A fellow steam-friend sent me this link. It gives you 5 games that are activate'able through steam (should you so choose). And best yet YOU SET THE PRICE! Beyond that the price you set can go wherever you want it. To the developers, to charity, to both. You set the spread as well!

**Game List -**
Crayon Physics Deluxe
Cogs
VVVVVV
Hammerfight
And Yet It Moves

Bonus Games - **
Steel Storm
Atom Zombie Smasher

Bundle #2 Game List (included for donating above the current average) - **
Braid
Cortex Command
Machinarium
Osmos
Revenge of the Titans

You may have SOME of these games, but unless you have ALL of them, it's totally worth it to buy!

A worthy cause, this shall be stickied and spread through the media.

Got it as soon as I could - before you posted this, actually. How much is everyone paying? I'm not divulging my expenses yet...

what's the catch?

the catch is; You help charity.

Not only do you help charity, but you help the developers as well.

Crayon Physics is a must have, Cogs & Hammerfight I've never heard about, VVVVVV and And yet it moves never impressed me. Are we talking about actual charity, or A) giving money to the Baptist Church of Whatever or B) the "charity" which gives videogames to hospitalized children?

VVVVVV is awesome. As is AYIM. And for the record, the two charities are the EFF (and if you don't think that's a good cause I'm not sure I want to be talking to you) and Child's Play, which donates not just video games but physical games, toys, books, and other items to hospitalized children.

yeah i like VVVVV. had it before this thing even. And haven't gotten around to AYIM yet.

I bought the VVVVVV soundtrack, actually, both versions (hey, I had leftover <Holiday Name Here> money, and my parents actually made me spend it, they dislike me hoarding money that much), and it is not a purchase I regret. I oftentimes fall asleep at night with PPPPPP songs in my head.

I would eagerly pay well to charity for a game I would play. None of them sound good to me.

Sorry Charity of choice .

Trust me, get VVVVVV. I don't even play platformers, but it's brilliant. Cogs is worth a look at, too, and it was part foe the Pitato Sack, so it can't be that bad. Hammer fight... Meh, not my type, but it could be your. Same with CPD, but apparently it's great, and AYIM is okay. If you're still unconvinced, spend a cent on them, and if you like, go back to donate more.

For a post of the day, I sure made a lot of tos in that. Oh well, it was late at night, and on an iPad, so... Yeah.

AYIM is phenomenal. It might be a bit too artsy for some of you, though.

Sorry, too fishy for me. Kids need better medicare to get to hospitals in the first place, not toys for a better stay. As for the EFF, I'd rather give more money to Wikileaks. But I'll give a second try to VVVVVVV.

Well, you can choose to give all the money to the developers or the HIB people themselves, if you feel like it. Besides, it's a cent!

I have heard and/or seen all these games before EXCEPT Hammerfight.

Also, thought I should let you know that Steel Storm (the second one, the first is free) and a Minecraft trial code have been added to the bundle. In addition, if you pay even just one cent more than the average amount paid, you get all the games out of the previous HIB free! Out of these, I'd recommend them all, ESPECIALLY Braid. Osmos is superlative as well, and Machinarium is quite quaint, certainly a favourite of mine. Revenge of the Titans is great but I found the difficulty curve to be a little steep - but then, they've updated it to be easier since then, I think. Cortex Command is... Well, it's not my type of game, but it's certainly impressive. So, if you haven't bought this already... You're mad.

bump for update
