Video: Humble Indie Bundle
This little indie bundle comes with a rhyming song!
The above video pretty much gives you all the information. Called the Humble Indie Bundle, it is an $80 value for which you can pay what you would like. The games include World of Goo (which has had its own successes with the pay-what-you-want model), Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD (the prequel to Wolfire Games' own Overgrowth), and Penumbra: Overture. The money itself is being donated to two charities; options include splitting it evenly among seven charities, choosing one over the other, or configuring your own percentages. The primary names being pushed forward are both Child's Play and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
The deal has six days left as of today, and as of the time of this writing has already raised $236,954 among 30,095 contributors, making the average price paid $7.87. A reminder that this is available for not only PC, but Mac and Linux as well. If you have a computer that can run this, you should be able to regardless of OS.

Hi there!
One thing about the article...
It's not 7 charities. It's 2 charities and then the 5 developers of the games on offer.
But they allow you to portion out the money however you want (all to developers, all to charities, half and half, whatever).
I suggest giving the entirety to the developers. They're where games come from and without games, Child's Play would be handing out a lot of cup-and-ball toys to disappointed children.
