Another great Humble Bundle has surfaced and It is a good one! This time you can get Costume Quest, Psychonauts, and Stacking for what you want to pay for them. However if you beat the average (Currently $7.77) You also get Brütal Legend thrown in. If you want to pay more than $35 you can secure a copy of the Double Fine Kickstarter title Broken Age. And if you are feeling extra generous you can pay more than $70 and receive a T-Shirt! of your choice (Black or Cream coloured). As always gaming soundtracks of the games in the bundle are included.
