We're big fans of the pay-what-you-want Humble Bundle game packages, and the latest release is a winner. The four games included are Beat Hazard Ultra, a sweet space shooter that uses your music tracks to generate enemies; Dynamite Jack, an adventure romp that mixes stealth with a-splosions; NightSky HD, a neat platformer by the folks behind the legendary Cave Story; and Solar 2, a space trip that's reminiscent of Osmos. They're available for Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, and even good old Android.

This could be you.
  • This could be you.

You determine both what you pay and who gets the money, splitting it between the developers, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Child's Play charities, and the Humble folks themselves. If you give more than the average buyer (currently $6.64), you get two bonus games: the subterranean tower defense game Dungeon Defenders (DD: Second Wave for Android) and the maddening twitch-fest Super Hexagon. Soundtracks and Steam codes are part of the package, too.
