Update - It's out, the latest Humble Bundle is out, Indie bundle number 5! It's the 13th bundle to hit the internet.
Looks to be one of the fastest selling ones too! Well over $500k already!
Some disappointment for you - Limbo isn't even native, it includes it's own version of Wine...works perfectly for me though!
----------
So the rumour mill is buzzing and the next Humble Bundle may very soon be upon us!
It looks as if we will be getting at least 1 game completely new to Linux this time too.
More info as and when it comes in keep checking back for the latest! It will hopefully launch tonight.

This would be Humble Indie Bundle #5 if it turns out to be an "indie" bundle. It'll be the 12th bundle all up though (the number 8 is coming from leaked opensteamworks info - I've got no idea why it's numbered like that for Steam)

Wow. MAKE SURE YOU PAY OVER THE AVERAGE. Bastion is a FANTASTIC game and the soundtrack is simply amazing.

Looks like the Linux version of LIMBO is just a Wine wrapper: http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/ue5kp/the_humble_indie_bundle_v_amnesia_the_dark/c4umgmc
I expected more from a HIB

What's the problem with that? People put a lot of effort in Wine development just so that this kind of thing can happen and more games can be played on Linux. I particulary wish more developers would at least officialy support Wine instead of saying that porting for Linux is hard.
That being said, I read the thread and it seems that the game doesnt run as expected and that sux indeed, if they wanted to pull this out they should have at least put some effort in making it run flawlessly.

The point it is very very hard to get wine to run "flawlessly" due to the very nature of what it is doing.

i had no problems running it in wine when i used to play.
now with the bundle version (crossover ported one)..that works well also.
yeah..native version would be better but no problem with the winelib one for me at least.
only problem is that the damn game doesnt have windowed mode. so its better to play windows version in wine to emulate wine window to be able to play in windowed mode:)

I found a fix for this. In the limbo directory, you run the ./launch-limbo.sh. Edit that to include the following three lines directly after the DIRNAME line:
if [ "$1" == -w ]; then
perl -e 'open (SETIN,"<./support/limbo/drive_c/Program Files/limbo/settings.txt"); @settings =
else
perl -e 'open (SETIN,"<./support/limbo/drive_c/Program Files/limbo/settings.txt"); @settings =
fi
It's a major hack and uses perl instead of sed (i've never quite got the hang of sed) but the end result is:
./launch-limbo.sh
starts the game fullscreen
./launch-limbo.sh -w
starts the game in windowed mode
Note that the script assumes you are in the root limbo directory when running the launcher.

crap - that should read 'the following *four* lines :)
also not the perl lines are each one line, take care when copying not to split the line as it looks in the post.

Well the irony is that Limbo runs smoothly on my machine and Bastion which is sort of native (XNA mono) crashes on click.
Edit: Got it!
Ubuntu 12.04
You have to edit
/usr/local/games/Bastion/OpenTK.dll.config (or the path you installed at)
and add the line
Now it runs fine. Slower than on Chrome (!) but it's ok
