Very true ;)
So what games are people likely to buy?... im looking at maybe all.. except Manhunter, Marvins Mittens (need to check it out) and Dawning (need to check this too)
For me - Spellforce, Nethergate and maybe Lume.

That was Manhunt not Manhunter. It was banned in NZ too:( Along with Manhunt 2
Nethergate: Resurrection looks good and Lume is the only other one that might be good for the second game for me.

I'm probably going to get them all except for Lume and Abe's Odysset/Exoddus.
Can't resist adding them to the backlog ;) I've heard good thing about Marvins Mittens.

That would be Manhunt, not Manhunter.
Bundle is live. First bonus is music, like expected ;)

I couldn't pass up on getting games WITH Dawnstar and Nethergate for less than the price of Nethergate on Steam, so I got Dawnstar, Nethergate, Lume, Marvin's Mittens, and Storm In a Teacup.

EDIT: Oh, and all of those have DRM free versions.

I'm guessing they'll add the third bonus game goal later, if that's true.

First game I've tried is Storm in a Teacup.. and it's locked at 30 FPS :(

Can't find a fix.

EDIT: Also might wanna turn the music off.. seems as though the game only has one track..

I meant the ones I picked up haha.

EDIT: Dawnstar...meh. It feels like the AI barely know how to aim and can't track a moving target correctly, considering how easy it is for you to hit them at a distance, the game only runs well on a decent computer at lower settings but doesn't look half bad anyways, so far the characters are a bit funny but don't have a lot of depth, getting around during missions is a bit slow, there are a lot of loading screens for a modern-age game, and I think that's all I can think of right now.

The cutscenes are nicely done. They're voiced over and are done in a comic book format. The game isn't all bad but right now it feels a bit like they could have easily made the combat tab-targeting and had relatively the same effect.

Not sure how well multiplayer works yet but I've had bad luck with Wolfire's Unity games so I'm not incredibly hopeful.

Storm in a teacup
Marvin's Mittens
Dawning

and I am done.

build a bundle is neat, as I had the others from before (except manhunt....) so I get to fill a few holes.
Hm, after watching a video review (SPOILERS!) of Dawning, reading about the low performance of Storm in a Teacup and Dawnstar on lower end rigs here, trying the demo of Marvin's Mittens, and seeing that Spellforce is Steam only, I think I'll just go with Nethergate and the Oddworld backups.

Marvin's Mittens is cute, but it doesn't even have an options menu and there seems to be no fullscreen mode. I could play it but it didn't run that smoothly on my PC either, I kept running or jumping too far and falling off the edge, not sure if due to lags or imprecise jumping mechanics (I guess it's the former, but in any case not much fun to play that way).
