An awesome humble bundle just started, have a look. https://www.humblebundle.com/

If you would like to gift your unneeded items to other users, please use this thread, but please don't use words like 'fa-ree' or 'kee' as like last time it will become troublesome.

Also if you are wondering if you should spend the few dollars and purchase the games for yourself, it's a no brainer - awesome games that are sold for cheap to benefit charity, you give it all to the charity, all to the developer, or a mix of both.

Just a note that you can no longer give away codes directly any more. You associate your Steam account with either the Humble Bundle redemption page, or Humble account, and they give you the games through that association. No codes are generated/given out any more.

Edit: You can still gift bundles, but you have to gift the whole bundle, not just the extra games you may already have.
Edit2: Changed language.

Thanks for going against everything said in the OP... You can gift items individually, you use the gift icon beside the individual game then you email the person...

The whole point of not using specific words was to avoid people googling and coming here to pester people for games.

I was merely informing people of a change to the redemption system and the possible side effects that people may not expect. I was unaware of the issues with the thread last time. I've changed my post with differing language.

Hmmm, when I checked the FAQ a couple of days ago around the changes, I don't believe the gifting of individual games through Humble was listed. It might be a recent addition due to the outcry around this change. I'm not sure I really agree with the change, but it's welcome.

Thanks for changing that!

Yea they changed it, I guess they want to strike the balance between people reselling keys on ebay/trademe and the ability for paying customers to gift unwanted items

Is there a reason to get this bundle for Arkham Asylum if I've already got Arkham City? Does it offer anything different in terms of gameplay?

More linear since there is no open world, so the story comes across stronger, you can also get it for $1 or whatever so it's not like you're taking a huge risk :)
