For those who haven't heard about this yet, the humble bundle is an event that takes place every few months, where for a limited period, a collection of quality independent games is made available at a pay-what-you-want price. The proceeds are shared between the developers, the website, and charity.

The latest bundle began just a couple of hours ago, and is already with over 20,000 sales at time of writing!

website --- http://www.humblebundle.com/

video --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyQaS76k59g

Only one game in this month's pack so far. There is already speculation over what games will be added throughout the week.

Voxatron looks pretty entertaining, has anyone played it?

The graphical style is awesome. It doesn't look like my sort of game, but it's beautifully done.

Played it. Voxatron is OK, and entertaining for the first half-hour, then it gets kinda boring. IMO anyway.

It has been argued that the bandwidth cost of sending several hundred megabytes to a customer would be greater than the $0.01 minimum price.

So a customer who pays $0.01 would be costing the humble bundle more than a person who pirates it. That's not to say it is morally/legally acceptable, but it is how the numbers work.

Um... I find his maths kinda dodgy. I've got two humble bundles and only downloaded 5/16 of the games.
