That sounds like one of the most solid humble bundles I have seen in a while. Too bad I already have all those games, and have sworn off of that site. SteamWorld Dig is still one of my favourite games... I should probably get around to finishing it on the Vita.

Games Beaten
-Kirby's Dream Land (Wii—Game Boy)
This is a simple game and it's been a long time since I played it but I'd forgotten how much thought obviously went into its design. And Kirby's sense of humor is already in full swing, as you can see in the little cartoony sections before each world. And so much classic music already! Dream Land is a lovely little GB gem, almost relaxing to play.
-Kirby's Adventure (Wii—NES)
Kirby's Adventure did so much to define the character, establishing both his pink color and his signature copy ability. The game is gorgeous for an NES title, though it suffers bad slowdown from time to time, particularly when using some of Kirby's more intense abilities. The levels are well-designed and there are plenty of secrets to find as well as mini games to play. It's not Kirby's best adventure but it's shockingly robust for his second outing, and on the NES to boot.
-LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes (3DS)
DC Super Heroes is a solid LEGO game. There is a nice variety to the characters and watching them interact is often pretty funny. Gameplay is typical LEGO fare—shallow combat, light puzzles, building stuff—but it's used well here. The real meat of the game is unlocking everything through the Free Play mode after finishing the Story Mode but I'm not much of a completionist. The story was fun while it lasted though.
Games Bought
It's been a while since I've bought a Humble Bundle but I couldn't resist the one that came out in early September. SteamWorld Dig was the clincher for me but it was cool to get Papers, Please and Gunpoint (two titles I remember making a splash when they came out) as well as Luftrausers and Hammerwatch (which looks really cool). The bundle also came with Gone Home but I already had that.
Then there is the month's PS+ games, of course. I'm most excited about Velocity 2X for the Vita since I really enjoyed the game that came before it, Velocity Ultra. There was also Sportsfriends (PS3/PS4), which I'll probably never play (need friends lol), TxK for the Vita (no idea what it's like but apparently it's good...?), Hoard (PS3), and Joe Danger (Vita). Finally, in a feeble last-ditch attempt to fight Smash Bros., PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was free for both the PS3 and Vita. I'll probably never get around to playing it, but it's there now in case I ever want to.
Now Playing
-Mass Effect 3 (360)
I really thought I might be done with this game by now because I was getting in lots of playtime when I first started it, but life has forced me to slow down. I've also spent a lot of time exploring Reaper-controlled space for war assets and doing Citadel side quests. I'm sure there is still plenty of story in front of me, though, and I'm really enjoying it.
-Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower (PSP) (PS+)
I've finished playing through Arcade Mode with all the characters. Now I'm set to tackle the 100-floor Tower Mode. I've heard that it's pretty hard, so I hope I can make it all the way through. I'm really not much of a fighting game guy.
There are so many options for how you want to play this game
-Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (PSP)
I'm up to Hunter Rank 5 and things are really getting difficult. I'm in need of some nicer stuff, so I'll be focusing on crafting for a while.
