Humble Bundle has unveiled The Humble Indie Bundle 2. As with the original bundle, purchasers are asked to pay whatever price they feel is fair for the bundle, with some of the proceeds going to the Child's Play and EFF charities. This time the games in the collection include Braid, Machinarium, Osmos, Cortex Command, and Revenge of the Titans.

Pay what you want. If you bought these five games separately, it would cost around $85 but we're letting you set the price!

All of the games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

We don't use DRM. When you buy these games, they are yours. Feel free to play them without an internet connection, back them up, and install them on all of your Macs and PCs freely. There is no time-limit on your downloads.

You can support charity. Choose exactly how your purchase money is divided: Between the game developers, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, or the Child's Play Charity. Also, if you like this deal, a tip to the Humble Bundle itself would be much appreciated!

How much is this bundle worth to people? Let's take a quick look.

Nice to see that Mac gamers are out-spending Windows gamers on this, although Linux users have us all beat.  I already own Braid, but the others look interesting.  I'm getting it.

Wow. Can't pass on this one. Want Osmos, want Braid, want Machinarium. Now if I could only figure out how to use the barter system for this bundle. I have a chicken, 3 shiny buttons and a half eaten biscuit in trade!

My usual question: Do those all run on PowerPC? I looked but could find no mentions of whether or not they were UBs. If so I might pick it up for myself.

When there's a multiplayer version, I'm going to be on Frost's team. Well, except he doesn't seem to actually need a team...I mean, what's the point? "Hey look, it's Frost and His Merry Gang of Useless Hangers-On!" Or something.

Doing a CMD-I for ya ... all of them say Application (Universal) except Braid. Braid is Application (Intel).

If you at all like tower defense games, Revenge of the Titans is worth getting by itself. Very unique graphic style and a nice slow ramp up in difficulty.

I have decided on 12$ for the bunch. I think I payed 40$ for the first bundle..

Putting all the money towards the developers as usual.

And now, time for some Legend of Zelda.

I ran Braid on my G5; it says Application (Universal) here.
