Latest Humble Bundle brings Fez and Mark of the Ninja to Mac and Linux

We've seen the Humble Bundle be used to introduce some big games to new platforms in the past, and the latest offering is no exception. The 9th edition of the Indie Bundle sees both indie game favorite Fez and Mark of the Ninja making their debut on Mac and Linux. Along with those, you'll get FTL: Faster Than Light, Trine 2 and Brutal Legend, plus the beta version of Eets Munchies, which is making its debut on all three platforms. As usual, you can pay whatever you like for the bundle and choose how much goes to the developers and charities (EFF, Child's Play and Watsi), but you'll have to pay more than the average to get Fez and FTL. Those not up on their indie gaming can get a taste of what's in store in the video after the break -- just don't get your hopes up for a Fez sequel if you like what you find.

Humble Bundle goes indie once more in seventh iteration, includes Indie Game: The Movie

Humble Bundle goes indie once more in seventh iteration, includes Indie Game The Movie

In recent months, the notorious Humble Bundle has gone from indie, to literary, to mainstream, and back again, with today's announcement of the newest Indie bundle and its smattering of games. If the six indie titles included aren't adding enough indie cred, the bundle also includes a digital copy of Indie Game: The Movie -- surely you remember the documentary from its appearance on The Engadget Show, no? As per usual, two of the bundle's games are tied to a pay tier (currently just under $6), and all titles are PC / OS X compatible -- you'll even snag soundtracks for everything, DRM-free. And should you pony up over $1, the games all transfer to Steam. To be clear, you should be paying more than $1 for all this stuff anyway.

Humble Bundle goes literary, offers octuplet of books at a humble price

Humble Bundle goes literary, offers octuplet of books at a humble price

The Humble Bundle tends to be associated with not just low prices, but also indie video games (and occasionally music). Today's bundle, however, centers on the literary-minded among us, offering a set of eight e-Books for just under $10. Of course, a main staple of the bundle is its pay what you want price model, which applies here as well -- should you only want six of the books, you can pay any price (one penny for six books! hot dog!). If you want access to John Scalzi's Old Man's War and Signal to Noise by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean, you've gotta shell out over the average payment price (currently sitting at $9.84). If you want that sub-$10 price, we'd suggest heading over sooner than later. Another good reason? You've only got two weeks before this humble e-Book bundle disappears forever.

Canonical tag teams with Humble, wraps up Indie Bundle installation with bow (video)

canonical-tag-teams-with-humble--indie-bundle-ubuntu

Love your Linux games, but hate painful installs? Ubuntu maker Canonical understands, and has kicked the usual, less snappy, procedure to the curb creating a new approach for the Humble Indie Bundle. The company already expanded Linux gaming, recently adding EA titles to its Ubuntu Software Center, and now you can download the Humble quintet from there as a single file, and install it in one go. In true open source style, you can pick the price you'd like to pay at Humble's site and even juggle how that sum is distributed to the games' developers and charities. So with the install obstacle gone, trundle on past the break and see if the promo video seals the deal.
