Humble Bundle PC and Android 9 adds three games
Humble Bundle PC and Android 9 received three more games this week, bringing the total number of games (appropriately) to nine. Those that spend more than the average sale price for the bundle, which is currently $3.89, get The Shivah, Savant Ascent and Syder Arcade in addition to the six games originally announced for the bundle. Each game is available through Steam for PC, Mac and Linux, via DRM-free download and on Android. Created by adventure game developed Wadjet Eye Games, The Shivah follows Rabbi Russell Stone as he surprisingly receives a generous sum of money to keep his synagogue open. Savant Ascent comes from D-Pad Studios and blends enemy-thrashing with the music of electronic musician Savant. A PS4 version of the game was announced in March. Lastly, Studio Evil's Syder Arcade is described as a "free-scrolling, multi-directional shoot em' up." Humble Bundle PC and Android 9 will end on Tuesday, April 15 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.

10 indies to receive free Ouya dev kits
The first Ouya dev consoles are set to ship later this month and 10 lucky indie developers have been chosen to receive free Ouya dev kits through a Twitter promotion. Over the past 10 days, Ouya picked a different hopeful Ouya developer each day, the list of which is presented below along with links to more information about each's respective game: Day 1: Fist of Awesome (Nicoll Hunt) Day 2: MechKnight Chronicles (Dinosaur Entertainment) Day 3: Syder Arcade (Studio Evil) Day 4: KidElectro (Seantron) Day 5: Space Runner (Hypercane Studios) Day 6: Legend of Dungeon (RobotLovesKitty) Day 7: iMech Online (Mobula Games) Day 8: DustyRevenge (PD Design Studio) Day 9: HolyShield! (Dogbox Studio) Day 10: Starbound (Chucklefish)This doesn't mean each of these games is a lock for Ouya, we should note. These 10 individuals aren't getting final retail Ouya boxes – those don't ship until March 2013 – but rather free special limited-edition developer versions of Ouya, valued at $800 a pop. And while these initial shipments vary slightly from the retail Ouya units coming next year, we're compelled to note all Ouya consoles will allow for software development.
