   The Be Mine 2 Bundle comes with five indie games and a whole bunch of extras -- including a sixth game!

   The only thing better than a dirt-cheap software bundle is a dirt-cheap software bundle for a worthy cause.

   An outfit called Groupees is offering the Be Mine 2 bundle, which includes five solid indie games and a boatload of extra content, all for a minimum donation of $4.

   Here's the worthy-cause part: Every $2 pays for a meal courtesy of Feed Them With Music, a charitable organization that organizes concerts and other events aimed at feeding the hungry. So if you pony up, say, $10 -- a more-than-fair amount given what you're getting -- you're covering five meals.

   (Side note: According to the FTWM Web site, every $1 donated equals three meals. So it's a good bet that part of your bundle purchase goes to Groupees and/or the developers. That's absolutely fair in my book, but some disclosure on the Groupees site would be appreciated.)

   The primary bundle consists of five games, all of them compatible with Windows, three also available for Mac. They're listed below with links to their Steam product pages, as that's where you'll end up accessing them:

   1. Beat Hazard (PC/Mac), a unique arcade shooter that integrates your own music library into the gameplay.

   2. 3D arena shooter Madballs in Babo: Invasion (PC/Mac).

   3. Plain Sight (PC), a "multiplayer arcade game about suicidal ninja robots." Need I say more?

   4. Futuristic tower-defense game Sol Survivor (PC)

   5. The Baconing (PC/Mac). There's a game called The Baconing. If I wasn't sold before, I am now.

   These games have a combined value of nearly $50. But wait, there's way, way more: the Be Mine 2 bundle also comes with survival/horror FPS Killing Floor (PC/Mac) and various comic books, graphic novels, and albums. If the "meals delivered" tally hits 25,000 (it's currently just under 16,000), you'll gain access to four more bonuses in the form of add-ons for the various games.

   You can pay for the bundle via Amazon, Dwolla (never heard of that one), or PayPal.

   To me this is a no-brainer; I'm in for $10. Dig deep, folks.

   I was a little pressed for time this morning so here is the website of the article. It is mainly for the USA but he also mentions GOTD from time to time.

   thanks txgoogoo.

   There are some superb games in this bundle. Killing Floor alone is worth it's normal full price weight in gold (usually £14.99). with around 200 extra maps to explore on top of those that are included with the game, there are hundreds of hours worth of exploration and zombie killing. Both the single player and coop modes are excellent, though primarily it's better played with friends online in co-op for the best experience. Try laying it alone on the harder settings and you wont survive more than a few minutes if you are lucky. :)

   Beat Hazard is an excellent asteroid like shmup, that's linked to your music collection. The faster the beat, the more enemy shipos and asteroids appear. with cumulative sore multipliers, you can potentially score millions and get yourself in to the online high scores table.

   As with most of these bundles i ave all of the games in this package at the moment, tohugh with potentially a couple more games being added I may get at least one not prevously purchased, still as txgoogoo suggests above, this is really about the charitable side of gaming. :)

   Just anote to anyone who purchased this bundle early. There were more games added to the bundle.

   apart from the original 5 games you can now download the following gmes and DLC though you will need to log into the groupees site first HERE then copy the link that was provided in your email, though i think you may still be able to access the games download section once logged in. I already had the link copied into a word document that records all of the bundles i've purchased.

   The following games & DLC have been added on top of the original 5 games:

   Killing Floor (this alone would have cost double what most users paid and is worth every penny. You can download hundreds of extra maps for free for this game).

   Scratches: Director's Cut

   DLC's:

   Beat Hazard ULTRA DLC

   Beat Hazard iTunes DLC

   The Baconing: Roesha DLC

   Madballs in Babo: Invasion DLCs
