Wow, if you are a serious gamer this has to be the best Humble bundle yet. with sever premium triple A games available for as little as $5-$6. The usual price for all these games is over £100 ($150). when they were all new releases that figure rises to over £200 ($300). I find it amazing that such games can be purchased for so little. you should grab this amazing bargain while you can. The Company of Heroes was one of the first games to incorporate the then new Direct X 10. Direct X had not had a major update since XP was released nine years previously. DX10 enabled graphic artists to portray such things as flag movement and dust clouds more realistically that the older direct X 9.0c. Thankfully if you don't have a DX10 compatible card you can still play Company of Heroes. Red Faction Armageddon was a bit of a flop following the success of its predecessor Red Faction: Guerrilla and prompted the developer THQ to say that was the end of the Red faction franchise. Still, the game isn't as bad as many make out. It does have a reasonable Meta score of 75%. There is an expansion available called Path to War, but that's not included in the Humble deal (you can purchase it for £4.99). Saints Row The Third also ha extra content not available with the Humble bundle. (See below for details. :)

Deceived by the forces of evil into prematurely bringing about the end of the world, War – the first Horseman of the Apocalypse – stands accused of breaking the sacred law by inciting a war between Heaven and Hell. In the slaughter that ensued, the demonic forces defeated the heavenly hosts and laid claim to the Earth.
Brought before the sacred Charred Council, War is indicted for his crimes and stripped of his powers. Dishonoured and facing his own death, War is given the opportunity to return to Earth to search for the truth and punish those responsible.
Hunted by a vengeful group of Angels, War must take on the forces of Hell, forge uneasy alliances with the very demons he hunts, and journey across the ravaged remains of the Earth on his quest for vengeance and vindication.

Half a century after the Red Faction resistance and their Marauder allies freed Mars from the brutal Earth Defence Force, harmony on Mars is again threatened but this time by a lethal force shrouded in mystery.
When the massive Terraformer that supplies Mars with its Earth-like air and weather is destroyed, the atmosphere turns to chaos, super-tornados and lightning storms engulf the planet. To survive, the Colonists flee to the underground mines and build a network of habitable caves.
Five years later, Darius Mason, grandson of Martian Revolution heroes Alec Mason and Samanya, runs a lucrative business from Bastion, underground hub of Colonist activity. Mining, scavenging, mercenary work--if the job is dangerous, Darius is your man. Few sane people now venture to the ravaged surface, aside from contractors like Darius and the smugglers who run goods between the settlements.
When Darius is tricked into reopening a mysterious shaft in an old Marauder temple, he releases a long-dormant evil and unleashes Armageddon on Mars. As Colonist and Marauder settlements are torn asunder, only Darius and the Red Faction can save mankind. The battle will take them across the storm-blasted planet--and below it, to the very heart of the unspeakable threat.
Red Faction®: Armageddon™ expands on the critically acclaimed, best-selling franchise with new, groundbreaking challenges. You are humanity’s last hope for survival.

Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers, Saints energy drinks and Johnny Gat bobble head dolls all available at a store near you.
The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control.
Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang, and defend yourself against a highly-trained military force using only a sex toy in the most out- landish game play scenarios ever seen, igniting a city-wide war that will set Steelport on fire. Strap it on.
There's 20 dlc's for Saints row, most of which add extra weapons, skins and vehicles. You have to purchase the DLC's separately. At the moment with no sale on those would cost you a total of £55. they will probably be on sale at least with a 75% markdown over the Christmas period
