Games can be (cheap) art

Amanita Design, the Czech collective behind biomechanical point-and-clicks such as Samorost and Machinarium, are offering a bundle of their stuff at a steep discount, just in time for me to buy it and give it to … me.

For $10, you get downloads of Samorost 2, Machinarium and the soundtracks from both. The games will run on whatever OS you have on your computron, thanks to that otherwise vile runtime known as Flash.

There are other things you could spend $10 on, of course. Like PSP Mini Tetris. That’s totally worth the money.
