Insurgency is a great game, OS X version is quite bugged but its get better over time. A great, strategic, realistic fps.

Braid and Super Meat Boy are each on my list of greatest games ever.

Indie Game: The Movie is fine... It's free to stream on Netflix.

I've heard of Fez (from IG: TM) but haven't ever played.

Is the bundle worth it even if I already have SMB and Braid?

A lot of this is personal opinion obviously, but I own the majority of the games in that bundle, and I think if I was in your situation (already owing smb and braid), it would still be worth the purchase for prison architect alone. Fez is good fun too.

Even if you aren't going to buy the bundle, it's worth a quick 2 minute adventure game on the site to get the 3 free steam keys.

Love FEZ (Very uhh daring with how they stuck it in the mini adventure... o_O), I have Braid and Offspring Fling too.

Note that these are Steam codes you're buying.

I like Fez too, but for me the Mac version yields a tiny hick-up/stutter in graphics frame rate about every minute. It's been the same on several different Mac that should easily be capable of keeping the game at 60 frames per second.

I wonder if the game still gets any developer attention and if it will get fix or is fixed in the version sold here?
 
How about that. I assumed MacHeist went out of business. Their last nano bundle was over 2 years ago - the last full bundle in 2012. A new MacHeist bundle used to be a big internet event. Today they're pretty much irrelevant. I already got most of these games on sale through Steam.

Hmm, I didn't have frame rate issues on my MacBook Pro. The Steam version was last updated in 2014: http://steamcommunity.com/app/224760/allnews/

Intersting… The problem isn't too obvious though – minor drop about every minute. I guess some might not even notice it. :)

It's most obvious if you walk a long distance back and forth so the camera continuously moves, following the character. Usually it's super smooth (at 60 frames pers second) but about every minute or so I see some stuttering for a second or two.
