Humble Bundle with Android 7 includes six games (for now) and their soundtracks, available on PC, Mac, Linux and Android: Incredipede, Anodyne, Greed Corp, Ticket to Ride plus USA 1910 DLC, Worms Reloaded and The Bard's Tale.
The first four titles are available for whatever price you want, while Worms Reloaded and The Bard's Tale are unlocked by paying more than the average. This strategy also unlocks any games that are added before the bundle's time is up in two weeks - and yes, there will be more games. Grab Steam keys for each title by paying $1 or more.
Customers can allocate whatever amount they decide to pay among the developers, Humble itself or charity. It's going well so far - Incredipede developer Colin Northway notes that in the Humble Bundle's first 15 minutes, sales surpassed Incredipede's launch day numbers, and in 20 minutes it sold more than the game's first day on Steam.
Team17's Worms: Reloaded for PC will be free to play this weekend on Steam, with the game also discounted during the promotion. Worms: Reloaded will be free to download from Thursday, May 31, from 10AM until Sunday at 1PM Pacific. The regularly priced $20 game will also be 66 percent off from Thursday until Monday at 10AM.
The very British Team17 will also have its iOS and Mac titles on sale for Her Majesty's diamond jubilee. The discounts cover Worms, Worms 2: Armageddon and Worms Crazy Golf on iOS for $.99. The Mac App Store will have Worms Special Edition and Worms Crazy Golf for $3.99. May it rain holy hand grenades!
Good news for Worms fans this week, as Team 17 has revealed new downloadable content packs for Worms: Reloaded on PC. Altogether, there are four packs to be had, including the Puzzle, Forts, Time Attack and Retro packs. Each pack includes new single-player missions, hats, gravestones, speech banks, landscape themes, and achievements. For a "limited time," each DLC pack can be had for $4.24 apiece, 15 percent off the usual price.
A note for Mac users: the DLC is only compatible with the PC version of Worms: Reloaded. Team17 tells Joystiq that work began on the DLC "quite a long time ago when the game was solely a PC title" and thus the packs incompatible with the Mac version. Team17 currently has no plans to bring the DLC to the Mac version, but will "see what happens."
In addition to the new DLC, the full Worms: Reloaded game is part of the Steam Summer Camp Sale. It can currently be purchased for $10, half the normal price.
Are you the player in your Team Fortress 2 group known not just for proficiency in a certain class, but in the special skill of hat storytelling as well? If so, you're a shoo-in for Valve's latest contest.
"Fans have been mailing us for some time now," Valve said on the TF2 blog, "asking for a contest that didn't involve modeling or level design. So now they get their wish. That's right: you'll be competing over who can describe hats the best." The full details can be found here, but essentially, you can send in a description of one of the game's hats, and Valve might use it in the game.
In addition to tales of headwear, Valve also announced a bonus for TF2 fans who buy Worms Reloaded: Holy Hand Grenade accessories and a new helmet for the Soldier. Buy Reloaded before September 2 to get access to these (purely decorative) items.

Previous iterations of the Worms franchise allowed you to give your invertebrate infantry nicknames -- Worms: Reloaded is taking the game's customization options a step further. Check out the trailer below to see how you can turn your slimy soldiers and arenas into beautiful, unique snowflakes.
Desperate for some new gear with which to equip your militarized annelids? The latest trailer for Worms: Reloaded gives the lowdown on some of the game's new tools, such as the Super Bunker Buster, the Magnet and, of course, the morally and theistically dubious power of Resurrection.
