"The term ‘cerebral’ encapsulates the latest Bundle in a Box more aptly than I initially thought. Prior to the announcement of the games, I had assumed a puzzle-centric collection – one that would require the manipulation of increasingly complicated pipes, tiles and machinery in order to progress through a somewhat vague (if even present) narrative – but this bundle goes after far more than just the logic centres of your brain.
That’s right, the return of one of the cheaper bundles in gaming is back.This time around they have a pretty diverse lineup of odd looking little games for only $1.99.
