Four Humble Bundle favourites – Anomaly: Warzone Earth, EDGE, Osmos and World of Goo – have been added in as bonus content in the latest indie package. If you’ve already purchased the latest Humble Bundle, the extra games are automatically added to your account for download – and if you haven’t, you can get on that here. As ever, proceeds go to indie developers and charitable causes at your discretion, you pay what you want, and all games are cross-platform and DRM free – even on your Android device.

Our friends at EDGE have launched an iPad app. The digital version of Future UK’s venerable trade mag is on sale at half-price until July 18, at £1.99/$2.99/€2.49. It promises more content than the print edition as well as interactive elements like video and even free iOS games. There’s even a free sample. Top stuff team, looks pretty tasty on the old iPad.

With the latest offering, the Humble Bundle has expanded its cross-platform philosophy even further, opening the scheme to Android users.

Edge is looking for a new writer, as you can see on its site.

Is this you?

Passionate about games, you will have a good understanding of the Edge brand and an extensive knowledge of the videogame industry and its history. You will use strong writing skills to create engaging, intelligent and informed copy. Ideally you will have an extensive track record of published work, in print and/or online.

Solid organisation and time management skills are essential, as well as the ability to work under pressure to tight deadlines. You will be a confident communicator and be keen to contribute story ideas to the magazine and website.

If so, knock yourself out. You’ll get a “competitive salary” if you win. Good luck!

Thanks, mescalineeyes.
