I got one Steam key for all three episodes.

Picked it up at 4.56. Not bad. Excited by the prospect of a replay bundle if it is one of the ones I missed

Okay, that's interesting. The only two Steam keys that should give you all three are the bundle and retail. The bundle definitely unlocks 4 and 5 when they release and I'm guessing that the retail does as well. It looks like it was added to the registry after episode 3 was released, so it's not definitive.

Maybe if we're lucky it'll be a "build your own" type of bundle where you get to choose which games to pick up (sort of like Groupees' BABs)...

Just bought and no Hinterland. Paid minimum.

Nuts.

Looks like this bundle is stuffed with shit. Why do these things always have so many point and click adventures? I've never played a single p'n'c that I didn't think was boring and tedious. I know some people like them, but how about some genreized bundles? I'd buy super mega action bundle and pretentious artist indie bundle in a heartbeat

You know I quite like The Dream Machine and played episode 1 a while back and bought the pack on steam when it was discounted 50% or something. Adventure point and click aren't for everybody but they are good..and this one has a cool art direction and interesting enough story. I have at least 2 of these games...only metroidvania type game interests me and I can likely get it cheaper by itself.

If anyone doesn't want their Children of the Nile Steam key I'm offering $1.

I, on the other hand, love this bundle - been waiting for a chance to get Puzzle Agent 2 &
The Dream Machine cheap (it'd be awesome if we'll get the next two episodes for free out
of this but I doubt it). The rest are just bonus.

I do agree about having more "themed" bundles, but I think they want everyone to have
at least one or two games in every bundle that they're interested in to drive more sales.
I remember they used to have themed "lightning bundles" and those didn't sell nearly as
well as the regular ones.

Got it thanks!

Thanks for the info on the bundle. Children of the nile is a oldie but goodie for us city builder lovers.

Can anyone give a good, indepth review of Children of the Nile (or point me to one)? I used to love SimCity back in the day (3000 I think is the one I pumped the most playtime into), but haven't played any city builders in forever. I think that game is kinda the focal point for this bundle for me. If it looks like I'll enjoy it, I'll get the rest (I have enough point and clickers in the backlog that I can miss a few).

And remember, we're getting the "enhanced edition", not the original one:

Crap, slept on this. Anyone have a gift bundle they're selling?

Winter Bundle should be coming in a week or two. I'm hoping for Resonance.

Bold prediction: I might just actually buy my first Indie Royale bundle this time! Okay, maybe not...

Winter Bundle is live.

Greed Corp - steam
Hamlet- steam
BIT.TRIP RUNNER - steam (pc, mac), windows, mac, linux, desura
Conquest of Elysium 3 - steam (pc, mac), windows, mac, linux, desura
Leave Home - windows, desura (+OST)
They Breathe - windows, desura (+Music & Art)

Pretty freakin' weak if you ask me.

Yikes, have to pass on this as I have several of these titles already.

2 repeats, and the other games don't seem to interest me.. probably gonna pass on this one.

Eh, yeah one of their weaker titles. Repeats plus nothing crazy good to headline it. That said, being the bundlerat I am I went in at $4.05
