I've been aware for a while now of the Humble Bundles, which lets you pay what you want for somewhat older but generally current generation PC and Mac games, but I just realized that they are now doing a weekly update, changing their deals often.  You can pay whatever you want for these bundled games, and if you pay above the average price, you unlock a special bonus game as well.

This week the games are particularly good, featuring games by publisher Telltale, and includes Back to the Future: the Game, five other games, and the Walking Dead as the bonus game (average price is currently $4.19, which is obviously a steal).  You can also decide how you want your money to be distributed:  to charity, to the developers, to the Humble Bundle guys, or to a combination of all three.

Humble Weekly Sale: Telltale Games
Eight fantastic games. The Humble Weekly Sale features a new deal every Thursday. Be sure to jump on this amazing offer before it's gone! This week, pay what you want for Telltale's hit games Back to the Future: The Game, Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse, Poker Night at the Inventory, Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures, Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent, Puzzle Agent 2, and Hector: Badge of Carnage. If you pay more than the average, you'll also get The Walking Dead! This bundle also includes two soundtracks to fill your ears with sweet, sultry sounds.

Play these adventures DRM-free and on Steam. Your purchase will get you these wonderful games DRM-free and on Steam for Windows (except The Walking Dead, which is only available on Steam). Select games are also available for Mac! Full system requirements for the games can be found here. A list of supported platforms for each game can be found here.

Pay what you want. Pay anything you want to receive seven awesome games. Pay $1 or more and you'll also get Steam keys. Beat the average and we'll also throw in a Steam key for The Walking Dead!

Support vital charities. Choose how your purchase is divided: between Telltale Games, the Child's Play Charity, or the Electronic Frontier Foundation. And, if you like this weekly sale, a tip to Humble Bundle would be greatly appreciated!

Picked this up yesterday.  It's a bargain and a great excuse for me to install Steam in WINE as these are Windows only games.

Only one of the games is windows only, I think it's the Hector badge of Carnage. The rest are win/Mac, though you do need Steam for walking dead.

I wasn't counting Mac as a gaming platform ;) I meant that I won't be able to play it naively on Linux.
