For the next three days, you can buy World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru, and Penumbra for any price you want. Seriously, if you have no moral objections you could pay a penny for them! Plus, it's cross platform and you can choose how much of your pay goes to developers and how much goes to charity.
If you're an indie fan, you should really check it out!

Wow. I may download them for a penny, then if I don't hate them I can buy them for a reasonable price.
I already have World of Goo for the PC and that was neat, so I probably will like them.
I'd just feel like a douchebag downloading them for a penny...MORAL OBJECTIONS

I checked out all 6 games and WOW.
I don't even play indie games, and I think I'm gonna have to buy these. Except for Lugaru (feels like PS1 3D + amateur ragdoll physics), every single one of them looks and feels awesome.
That's 5 truly awesome games + 1 mediocre game. For any price. I think I'd go with the average donated price, and give $10.

Well, really more like 3 great games, 1 decent one, and two utterly terrible ones. Lugaru is nothing more than garbage and Samorost 2 is by far the least enjoyable adventure game I believe I've ever experienced.
Still, I picked this up for me and all of my friends. Penumbra is one of the most beautiful and memorable experiences anyone could ever have. World of Goo and Aquaria are also amazing. Gish is decent. Hasn't aged well, but it's still decent and definitely worth a play.

Agree that Lugaru is garbage. It's graphics belong on PS1.
But I played thru chapter 1 of Samarost 2, and I enjoyed it. I don't even like/play point-click puzzle games.
I'd get this for Aquaria alone, though.

Really? That's the one game my computer sucks too much to run. :(

Shame. Penumbra left me with such wonderful feelings that I actually cried whenever I beat them both. No other game emotionally affected me so deeply. Upgrade your computer so you can play it and then get the second part when you finish the first. You'll thank yourself for it.

@ Rich:
WTF are you talking about? Isn't Penumbra the 1st-person horror game series?
Wonderful feelings? You cried (as in moved, not as in out of horror)? WTF? Do you watch Night Of The Living Dead on Thanksgiving, too?

What? I can't be the only one that finds cosmic horror to be the most beautiful and moving genre ever made.
