Yep, it's yet another PC game sales news post (hey, they are time sensitive). This time we want to alert you to a new indie games bundle deal from developer Lazy 8 Studios. The deal will either net you six or 12 acclaimed indie PC game titles for one low price. You can actually take your pick of two bundles that are each priced at $19.99 each, which is a savings of at least 70 percent off.

One bundle has the titles AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, BrainPipe, Cogs , Captain Forever, Saira and Space Giraffe. The other bundle contains And Yet It Moves, Auditorium, Osmos, Aztaka, Eufloria, and Machinarium. If you can't decide you can get both bundles and save even more money overall. The mega bundle prices all 12 games together for $29.99. The bundle sale ends on September 22.

Direct2Drive already has a nice indie games sales bundle in place, but now Steam wants in on that indie games sales action. From now until Thursday, Steam is offering seven indie PC game titles for just $2 each. The games are Gridrunner, Space Giraffe, Bullet Candy, Bob Came in Pieces, Altitude, Super Laser Racer, and Galcon Fusion.

But that's not the nice deal. That comes when you buy all seven games in a bundle on Steam. Then the price for the bundle comes to $9.99. That's far cheaper than the nearly $59 you would have to pay for each game separately at their normal Steam prices.

Big Download now has the free demo for Space Giraffe, offering folks a chance to download and sample a free portion of the psychedelic arcade shooter from Llamasoft. The full version can be downloaded and purchased from Llamasoft's web site for $20.

The wild and wacky game design mind that is Jeff Minter and his development company Llamasoft created the Tempest-like arcade shooter Space Giraffe for the Xbox 360 a year ago. Now Winter is prepping a PC version of the game that he plans to release sometime next week. The price will be $20 which is $5 more than the Xbox 360 version.

However it looks like Llamasoft will be doing some extra work on the PC version to make that extra 5 bucks worth it. There will be a "remixing" of all 100 levels in the game with new visual effects that will make the PC version look less psychedelic than the original Xbox 360 version. However the PC version willl also come with the original "Acid Mix" visuals of the Xbox 360 version. In addition the PC version will support the addition of new downloadable levels.
