It’s Friday, and the Humble Store’s offering some dirt-cheap gaming gratification to kick off the weekend. The Humble Lego Games Bundle includes a total of eight games available as Steam codes, and paying just $12 or more unlocks every one. Don’t delay, though: This Humble Bundle expires on Tuesday, and a portion of the proceeds go towards charity. As with other bundles Humble, there are several pricing tiers available, with certain games unlocking at each. If you pay just one dollar you’ll get Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and Lego Batman: The Videogame. If you pay more than the average ($8.44 at this writing), Humble adds Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7, Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, and The Lego Movie - Videogame. The latter is really the prize of the lot, as it’s a great game for kids 8 and up.To read this article in full, please click here Continue reading at 'PC World'
