        Hehe I remember this little bit of Ozbargain history, Antibody boost.

        Will you guys be down at Pax this year by any chance?

          Tim and Jeff will be there for the week but not showing the game (We're still working on console ports), I'm taking some time off to holiday with my brother and cousin :)

          We did get nominated for 4 categories in the Australian Game Developer Awards including GOTY though which is nice, that all happens a few days before PAX. Thanks for remembering our random history :P

    Thanks op, another bunch of games that i'll likely never play added to my steam list!!

    As a side note to other buyers at humble bundle, you can adjust what proportion of the money goes where at the bottom of the page. I normally bump up the charity payment a bit as Humble bundle get more than the charity which doesn't seem right to me.

    I hate Steams worthless rating system. Take unbox for example. 93% of steam users think it's worth a score greater than 50% (or something like that - I'm simplifying). Big deal. It's a way of inflating the rating to try and make more sales. Metacritic score of 68% is more telling. I personally go to metacritic then look for a review from a website that I trust.

    • caprimulgus on 26/10/2016 - 10:40

      i agree 100%.

      last time i mentioned it, someone who regularly posts steam deals on ozbargain (forget who) gave a reason why they preferred steam rating over metacritic, which is fine. but I think the best would be to include both scores, where available.

        Done.

      I agree that Metacritic and trusted website reviews are useful tools when deciding whether you want to buy/play a game, but steam reviews are not "93% of steam users think it's worth a score greater than 50%".

      Steam words its summaries like this: "93% of the 107 user reviews for this game are positive".

      Each steam review boils down to either "recommended" or "not recommended" (AKA positive or negative). There is no percentage score on each review. "Recommended" does not mean "worth a score greater than 50%", it simply means that user recommends the game. There is no equivalence between "recommended/not" and a percentage score.

      In general though - yes, I also recommend that people do their research and get to know some specific reviewers/websites if they want to improve their chances of finding games they actually want to play.

        Yeah and you can see why steam does it that way, once you see the user reviews on metacritic. It seems like about 80% of people either give the game a 10/10 or a 0/10 anyway, just to get their point across.

        • SuperMatty on 26/10/2016 - 15:48

          The phenomenon of "extreme" scores is a good example of the pitfalls of user reviews. Extreme scores are often given as an attempt to drag the average one way or the other, at which point it's no longer an honest review.

          Arguably, asking the simple question "do you recommend this game?" may get a more meaningful/honest/useful answer that actually makes sense to aggregate with others' opinions. "Recommend/do not recommend" also seems reasonable in the context of a storefront where most visitors are asking themselves the question "should I buy/play this thing?".

          Every person has their own idea of what a "score out of 10" or a percentage score actually means. Many people likely haven't considered the nuances of such systems at all. Most people, however, can form a fairly straightforward opinion of whether they personally recommend a title or not. If they want to expand/justify their opinion (or award a score in whatever scoring system they deem appropriate), they can do so in the text of their review.

      What trusted websites do you use

      I personally like www.bit-tech.net/ I used to love visiting Actiontrip.com until they closed down :(

    Chroma Squad for $1 is great!

    • WB TQM on 26/10/2016 - 11:42

      looks like a fun little game.

    • CheapCoffee on 27/10/2016 - 03:49

      Yep. Absolutely charming game with a nice concept. Almost feel like it deserves to be in the higher tier in my opinion. Definitely better and/or interesting game than many $1 tier games from previous bundles.

    The recent Humble Monthly October included Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number which is banned here in Australia. HB removed HM2 Steam keys from Australian buyers' bundles.

    1. HM2 Steam keys can be activated on Australian Steam accounts.
    2. HB did supply us the DRM-free version of HM2 (all non Australian buyers received both Steam key and DRM-free). So it was never about complying with the ban.
    3. HB did not disclose in advance that Australian buyers would be receiving a reduced bundle.
    4. It begs the question of what HB did with all the HM2 Steam keys that Australian buyers paid for but were withheld.

    Upon contacting HB support, they basically told Australian buyers to piss off since it is very unlikely that any buyers would be able to enforce their consumer rights in this situation.

    So on principle I will not buy from HB again. Which I admit is a pity as I used to be a fan and shopped there often.

      That is terrible behaviour from HB. I still blame the government from censoring the title from us though.

      (profanity). I just noticed that it is gone. I will shoot them a message but that is just not right. Will be strongly considering cancelling my sub.

      • Raq on 27/10/2016 - 09:01

        Also, what about people (like me) who live in Australia, but have US Steam account ?

    I purchased the bundle and played Unbox yesterday with my 4 year old watching. He had heaps of fun and I enjoyed it as well. I would definitely recommend it if you enjoyed games like Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64. The only thing that would make it better is Linux support for my HTPC.
