Steam’s Canadian Indie Bundle offers super savings

20121024_canadian_indie_bundle

Steam has launched a new indie bundle, this time themed around Canada’s incredible range of talent. The $15 Canadian Indie Bundle includes Capsized; Dungeons of Dredmor; Hoard; Shank; Shank 2; Space Pirates and Zombies; Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP; and Waveform. All this goodness would set you back more than $60 individually, and any duplicates would make smashing little surprise gifts for your favourite gaming crush. That’s all; let’s sign off before I make one of the eight predictable Canadian jokes games journalists are permitted on these occasions.

Thanks, Joystiq.

shank2-010612

Klei Entertainment has released new gameplay footage of Shank 2, showing off some of the weapons, fighting moves, and other nonsensical fun you can have in the game. Personally, we really enjoyed the first outing, so we are looking forward to what the sequel has to offer. The firm has also noted that the Humble Indie Bundle, which included a copy of the original Shank, sold over 400,000 copies in two weeks. Shank 2, meanwhile, is slated for release in “early 2012″.
