SEGA Humble Bundle has Alpha Protocol, Binary Domain for $6.00

Alpha Protocol’s Michael Thorton, professional charmer.

The Humble Weekly Bundle is a bit of a SEGA love-fest, and by “a bit” I mean “wow, look at all those SEGA PC games.” They include examples of offbeat excellence like Alpha Protocol and Binary Domain, as well as some critically acclaimed stuff like Company of Heroes and Rome: Total War.

This time, any charity proceeds that you opt for will be split between Make-A-Wish, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, Willow Foundation, Special Effect and GamesAid; which means you can quite literally save all of the whales everywhere by playing Binary Domain. Kind of.

Anyway, the “pay what you like, darling” tier has: Alpha Protocol, Company of Heroes, Rome: Total War and Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit. To move up a notch you have to pay at least $6.00 USD, but that adds Binary Domain, Typing of the Dead: Overkill, Renegade Ops, Medieval II: Total War and a SEGA Genesis collection (with Altered Beast, Comix Zone, Crack Down, Ecco the Dolphin, Gain Ground, Golden Axe, Golden Axe 2, Golden Axe 3, Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master and Vectorman.)

If you go a bit mental or feel especially generous and pay $15.00 USD or more, you get Total War: Shogun II as well.

Here’s the slight down side: each tier is a single Steam key. So it’s just one key to unlock Alpha Protocol and the other four. If you already own some of the games they just won’t be redeemed. That means no way of gifting spare games to other people on Steam. I understand why they might have done that, but it’s still a bit rubbish.
