The latest Humble Bundle "pay what you want" event for a number of indie games has been a massive success and it still has four more days to go before it is completed. Currently, the Humble Indie Bundle 5 event has raised over $4.25 million, blowing away the previous record set by Humble Indie Bundle 4, which raised $2.37 million in December 2011.
As we reported before, the games that are officially a part of Humble Indie Bundle 5 include the classic Double Fine action-adventure game Psychonauts, the survival horror game Amnesia: The Dark Descent, the unique 2D platformer game Limbo and the action-adventure game with the odd title Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP.
If you decide to pay more than the average amount as listed on the Humble Bundle site, you were also supposed to get the action-RPG game Bastion as part of the bundle. Since the launch, the Humble Bundle team has added three more games that a person can get if they put in more than the average amount; Lone Survivor, Braid and Super Meat Boy.
Normally buying all eight of these games together will cost well over $50. Currently, the average amount people are paying for the bundle is $8.33. The games are all DRM free and come in PC, Mac and Linux flavors. You also get Steam keys and the game"s soundtracks as well. As with the previous Humble Indie Bundle events you can also choose to donate money to two charities, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Child"s Play.
