Bundles tend to be a bit hit or miss. For every Humble Indie Bundle that packages Bastion with The Binding of Isaac, you have twice as many that don’t have one worthwhile game in the whole batch. It just ends up looking like the indie developers are packaging together their trash, and no matter how nice of a bow they put on it you can’t help but smell the mediocrity. Luckily, the folks over at Groupees have cobbled together quite the impressive package and are offering it at a complete bargain price. The Groupee Be Mine Anniversary Bundle currently boasts 25 different items and you can get them all for a measly price of $5. Some of the highlights include the point and click adventure title Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes from the folks over at Daedelic Entertainment and the action heavy Party of Sin. The full list is too massive to include in any single coherent sentence, so I’ve put a summary of everything at the end of the post.
For the sake of comparison, Party of Sin usually sells for $15 and Edna & Harvey goes for $20 on its own. The amount of content here is absolutely staggering, and the bundle is so diverse with so many high quality indie titles that there is sure to be something for everyone. You’d have to be crazy to pass up a deal like this, and you can rest assured that the reason I’m saying that is definitely not because everyone who already bought the bundle (like myself) will get yet another game if they manage to reach 21,000 total sold. Well, maybe that is one of the reasons. Not the only one though.
