Humble Weekly Bundle Packs Co-op Games Worth $167

What could be better than getting games for a song and giving something back to the community through a bit of charity? That's exactly what Humble Bundle offers — video games for the price that buyers are willing to pay and the choice to assign any part of their payment to charity. The endeavour is back with the second iteration of excellent co-operative titles with the Humble Weekly Bundle: Co-op 2.

The compilation includes co-op gems such as "Shadow Puppeteer," "Ibb & Obb," "Hero Siege," "Hammerwatch," "Damned," "Forced" and "Contagion." Of these, buyers can pay any price they wish for "Shadow Puppeteer," "Ibb & Obb" and "Hero Siege," according to VG247. That means players can buy these games for as little as one cent. Paying a dollar will give them the option of adding the games to their Steam library. They can also still download the DRM-free direct downloads in any case.

While the sale gives buyers the freedom of paying what they want, some of the better games are added to tiers that can be unlocked by paying a bit more. Paying more than the average price of $4.77 (as of this writing) can add "Hammerwatch" and "Damned" to the buyers' libraries. Those generous enough to pay a premium of $10 will get access to "Forced" and "Contagion."

Unlike regular Humble Bundles, the Humble Weekly Bundle: Co-op 2 features two extra tiers. This being catered to a co-op audience means that the really generous buyers won't mind buying multiple copies for their co-op mates.

For this purpose, Humble has offered an option to pay $17 (or more, of course) to get two bundles replete with all aforementioned games. This way, buyers get to keep one bundle while they get to have another one handy too. For those who have a lot of friends, Humble has them covered with four bundles going for $30. That's not a bad proposition since each bundle is worth $167 if purchased normally.

The early history of video game is rife with some excellent examples of couch co-op gaming in the NES/SNES days. This unadulterated joy of taking on a game with another human has sadly been waning from mainstream gaming, save for a few odd indie releases that still carry the torch of good old co-operative gaming. This weekly bundle compiles games that embody that spirit. Head over to this link to sample some co-op action on the cheap.
