Space Sim fans: "X" Series Humble Weekly Sale (Linux and Mac included) [View all]

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, that the entire X Series of space sim games are on this weeks Humble Weekly Sale.

You get all games up to "X3: Reunion", and if you pay more than $6 you also get "X3: Terran Conflict" and "X3: Albion Prelude". All three X3 games run on Linux and Macs too. As always, a customizable part of the payment goes to charity.

I've put a fair amount of time into "X2: The Threat" and "X3: Terran Conflict" and had a great time. I pretty much play as a trader exclusively, but the game allows for pretty much any play style. The interface can be a bit clumsy, so you have to get used to it, and there is a fairly steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of the gameplay, you're free to approach the game in any way you choose. Best thing to do is to find a beginner's guide on the net, and follow that until you are comfortable heading out on your own.
