If you wanted to get into the indie games scene but were afraid to do so, Direct2Drive has just revised its Indie Games Bundle sale for its customers. For a limited time you can get 10 of the most well known and acclaimed indie games in one shot for just $29.95. That's compared to a price of $134.50 if you had to buy each game individually.

The games in the bundle include World of Goo, Puzzlegeddon, Gish, The Maw, Braid, Cogs, AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! -- A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, Osmos, Machinarium and Crayon Physics Deluxe. All of the above games are good in our opinion and some are true classics. It's a deal that you don't have to steal.

A few months ago, indie developer 2D Boy started something of an experiment by offering their acclaimed puzle game World of Goo for any price that a consumer wanted to pay for it for a couple of weeks. The results were pretty successful and now another well known indie game developer is doing the same thing.

Crayon Physics Deluxe, the innovative puzzle game from one-man developer Petri Purho, is celebrating the first anniversary of the sale of the commercial version of the game with its own "pay what you want" plan. Pay one cent or $100 or anything and the game is yours. This deal ends on January 15 so you has better move quickly.

It's become one of the most anticipated indie PC games in some time and some folks could be playing with the game right now. It's Crayon Physics Deluxe, the full commercial version of the winner of the Independent Games Festival last year. Developed by Finnish game designer Petri Purho, the game features a player trying to get a 2D ball on screen to move from one point to another, assisted by the player drawing crayon-like shapes via a mouse or (if you have a Tablet PC) via a stylus.

On the game's official blog site Purho announced that Crayon Physics Deluxe will be released officially on Wednesday, January 7 and that folks who pre-ordered the game before January 3 will be able to get the full version today (there's no official word as of this writing if that has happened yet). In addition, a iPhone version of the game is already available (although Purho did not develop the iPhone port).
