So what do you think?

I have only tried Osmos, revenge of the titans and cortex command so far(well, i have played braid a long time ago too) and i must say that both Osmos and revenge of the titans are very entertaining. Im sure Cortex Command is nice aswell, but it dosen't fell complete, and the learning curve seems very steep(you get placed in a world, and you got to buy some supplies, when you open the buy menu you have about a gazillion options with no explanation. Also, there is no campaing yet).

The video is awsome aswell

I totally agree. The Osmos demo was awesome. I played Revenge of the Titans quite a while back when they first released a demo and that was pretty fun.

I'm excited to try the other games, but Braid alone makes this bundle worth it. And it has a Linux version now!

Bought and downloading. Thanks for the heads up. I was at the PAX presentation put on by the guys who hosted this. It was incredibly inspiring!

It's a great bundle, just like the last one - but I find myself buying less and less indi games because of it. Know what I mean? - seems that the cream of the crop ends up in one of these bundles, so I tend to wait.

I agree. I'm going to play through it again, and this time it will be on linux

Bought it for 20€
Really great games, tried Braid and Revenge of the Titans.
Gonna go for Osmos next (and finish Revenge of the Titans)

Anyone notice who the number one contributor to the Humble Indie Bundle was? (note, he's the creator of another successful indie game which, at the moment of writing this, is the subject of the most recent post in game reviews)

Yeah, I lol'd pretty hard when I read this.
I simply love how the indies support each other in every possible way <3

That's awesome.

I lol'd at the @notch thing too, haha. I bought it earlier today and spent most of today playing it :D

At this point in time, here are my thoughts:

Osmos- Tough at some points, but very relaxing and rewarding.
Cortex Command- Very cool, very fun... however not complete. Seeing as its a WIP, that is acceptable.
Machinarium- Hard as hell, but great visuals and awesome music. Really intricate, I like that.
Revenge of the Titans- Really fun, speeds up rather quickly; you won't really be playing tutorials for that long.
Braid- Simply amazing. Had to resort to online walkthroughs at some point... but this game is ridiculously fun. The puzzles are well put together and the game is worth 3 times what I paid for all the games together XD.

I found it really funny that the average linux user spent more than twice as much as the average windows user.

When I bought the first one I put myself down as a Linux user just for that statistic, haha. I paid $20 for it.

A no-brainer....purchased!

Cool, i just got an email telling me that if you already have bought HIB#2 you get #1 for free, and if you havn't bought it yet, you get number #1 if you pay more than the average.

I bought HIB#1 back when it was there, but i have not really played all the games and the key is buried deep down in my inbox, so it is pretty convenient. Also, i didn't knew samorost2 was added to HIB#1 and now that i have tried Machinarium(same genere, concept and developer) i am defiantly going to play that aswell.

Pretty clever way to get the average up.

OMG I LOVE THE HUMBLE INDIE BUNDLE!
I just finished Machinarium (I was sitting like 4hours in the kitchen playing it with my sister oO) and now I get even more games?
This is just plain awesome!
