The Humble 2K Bundle: Because Your Wallet Hasn’t Screamed for Mercy Yet

Ah, summer. That magical time of year when we ease off on work and while away the hours with our families under the warm sun. Just kidding. Summertime is when we lock ourselves indoors, crank up the air conditioning, and …

Here comes another opportunity to stuff your hard drive with sizzling (ha-ha) sales that you simply can’t pass up. The Humble 2K Bundle is now available, and it’s filled with goodies. Pay what you want for BioShock, The Darkness II, and The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. Pay more than the average price to access BioShock 2, Mafia II, and Spec Ops: The Line. Or, pay $20 or more to receive all of the previously-listed titles, as well as BioShock Infinite, and XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

The-Bureau-XCOM[1] — The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

The games are primarily redeemable on Steam for Windows, though some titles are also available for Mac and Linux. There’s also a DRM-free version of BioShock up for grabs.

As usual, you can choose how to distribute whatever price you pay for your games. The money can go to 2K, a Humble tip, or charity. 2K’s chosen charities include American Red Cross and Action Against Hunger, so be generous with your dosh.

By Joe Jasko
After yesterday's announcement that Ouya would be getting a spiffy new Limited Edition console release in a pristine white casing just in time for the holidays, today we've also learned some interesting Ouya-related news. The company behind the controversial Android-based home gaming console has teamed up with Humble Bundle to bring gamers the very first console game to be available for purchase through the Humble Bundle website.The game in question is the highly addictive TowerFall by Matt Makes Games, and players will be able to scoop up the multiplayer combat platformer at a discounted price of $9.99 over the next 24 hours on the newly-launched Humble Bundle storefront for use on their Ouya console. Considering how Humble Bundle has been an avid supporter of Android games with their series of Humble Mobile Bundles (the third bundle was just unveiled today!), this is certainly a big win for the Ouya camp, especially if we see more of these kinds of collaborations in the future."You have just under 24 hours at the time of this writing to pick up TowerFall for your Ouya console at the discounted price, so you shouldn't hesitate to head on over to the Humble Store and get to platforming with your pixelated friends today!
