There's no easy way to say this, so I'm just going to be direct: If you don't think Bastion, the action RPG from Supergiant Games, is a good video game, you're wrong. Maybe not empirically, or objectively, but yeah. The point is that the 2011 game did well for itself, and folks generally applauded the efforts of the developer. It gets better, though. Supergiant's announced Transistor, their next video game, and it's a sci-fi action RPG that looks fantastic.

Penny Arcade has been in operation for a relatively long time. The webcomic has existed in one form or another since 1998, which means it's nearly halfway through its second decade. If Penny Arcade were a single entity, they'd be a teenager. Being around that long also means they've accrued an impressive backlog. Every so often, a denizen of the Internet stumbles across one of their older strips and makes it relevant again. For example, a redditor that goes by the name shmallowfish recently found one of PA's comics from 2006 and made it into a pretty catchy tune.

In what has become routine, the new Humble Indie Bundle is out, officially number five (even though we've had a few non-numbered bundles in between), and it's quite possibly the best one yet. For the low, low price of whatever you want, you'll nab Limbo, the computer version (as opposed to the original mobile version) of Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and pinnacle of gaming and writing achievement Psychonauts. If you pay above the current bundle average price, which is rarely ever at double digits, you'll net yourself Bastion. As always, each game included is free of evil, evil DRM, and is available for the Big Three of operating systems, Windows, OS X, and Linux. As another bonus, each game in this bundle includes its own soundtrack. Check out the trailer for the bundle after the break.
