Indie Humble Bundle

Went a little bit mad tonight, buying Mark, Herbie and myself a copy of the current Humble Bundle for 76p a piece. I could have paid a little bit more (Notch has apparently paid $6500 for it) but I was feeling especially frugal, particularly after Nintendo's E3 press conference. Oh deary me. It started off so wel with the announcement of Pikmin 3 but then it just took a steady turn for the worst with a lack of first party game announcements, with the exception of the two 2D Mario games but they are once again just more of the same. Some mildly interesting stuff from Ubisoft but knowing their track record with Nintendo products they will screw up the controls big time. Reggie handled himself very well on stage however, producing some great one liners but otherwise the whole show was just underwhelming on so many levels. Probably will still buy the Wii U because I know there will be a few great games on it, but still, 2012 could have been a great year for Nintendo at E3.
