Humble Bundles are the nightmare fuel of backlogs. They’re deviously cheap, offer a massive bundle of games and usually justify the admission fee. The latest bundle for this month comes courtesy of EA, and it’s a healthy collection of some of their best games in recent years. There’s also still a few to be added in the coming weeks – but they’re far less exiting.
EA Korea has the misfortune of being named slip of the week, after they accidentally posted an image showing the entire EA Bundle that will eventually be available in the next few weeks. The image shows the last four games that are set to join Dead Space, Plants Vs. Zombies and more, and they’re nowhere near as interesting. If you pay over the average price, you’ll have these waiting in your library very soon too.
- Sim City 2000
- Wing Commander III
- Wing Commander IV
- Ultima VII
Those are four really old games, so unless you’re a digital curator and have yet to pick them up, I don’t see the draw. Still, the EA Bundle has some other excellent offerings, but none better than Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. Seriously, Geoff can’t shut up about how great the quirky online shooter is, and it’s the cheapest you’re going to find it at for a long time.
You’ll just have to put up with Origin, but it’s been behaving semi-normally lately. Have you spoiled yourself to some EA goodness already, or have these final four games put you off completely. Remember, sharing is caring when it comes to duplicates.

Worst part is they gave Sim City 2000, Dragon Age: Origins and Wing Commander 3 completely free a few months ago :/.

They should have just called it the Bioware Humble bundle and given us the ME series + KotoR 1 and 2.

Don’t forget Peggle. That was also given away a few ticks back.

I’ve noticed that other countries get different games for free. I was browsing on a VPN a few weeks ago and noticed that instead of offering plants vs zombies it offered syndicate, so now I have both in my library XD

It might have been USA or UK but if all else fails and you are feeling adventurous try South Korea. I stumbled across it while I was getting the free Titanfall DLC, I had problems with the English speaking countries and Korea had the highest speeds.

Yeah I noticed this. I’m debating getting it for Dragon age 2. I got the first free with Origin a while back and have yet to play due to playing other games, it’s just a shame that it’s stuff already given away and with Mass Effect 2 but not 1, which I don’t have.
I’ll probably still get it – it’s worth it, and still a good deal. Would have gotten it right now if it had contained the dragon age expansions as well

Hm, well I bought the bundle already, maybe this is the excuse I need to finally play Ultima VII. Kinda wish I had back in the day.

Ugh, I can believe I gave money to a charity and EA is giving away more free games.

I was quite disapointed when I couldn’t gift the extra copies of the games I already had.
I now have 2 copies of DA:O, DA2, Peggle 3 and something else in my Origin library.
Steam at least adds it to your inventory so that you can then gift it if you already own it.

Yeah that does suck quite a bit. Was looking forward to also gift to friends. It’s half the reason why I buy these bundles.

Wasn’t interested in any of the games, already have 2 of them, and none of the rest caught my attention. Worst Humble Bundle in ages.

Best humble bundle I’ve bought thus far was the Bohemian Bundle. Wonder if they’ll bring out another steam or gearbox humble bundle.

worst part of this is people are disappointed in paying an average of what 3 quid for all these? and it all goes to charity.

The draw is about getting something cheap while giving to charity!

People keep saying it all goes to charity, but unless you actually set it up to all go to charity, it does not.
