The phenomenon of Indie bundles has really taken off, with plenty of organisations jumping on the bandwagon to put together Indie game bundles that consist of some great games (and some not) which support charity. Even big companies like THQ have jumped on the bandwagon with their THQ Humble Bundle.
Here are the Top 5 Indie Bundles out there (some for not too much longer)

Indie Bundles in general
Not only are Indie Bundles great opportunities to get some great games at really cheap prices, they're also an opportunity for gamers to support charities. Sure, some of the charities are not in your country, but hey, does it matter as long as you are helping your fellow man?
Most games are also DRM free, a bunch of payment options are available (yes, Paypal is normally an option) and you can generally decide how your money is distributed between the charity, the developers and the organisation running the bundle.
These are great initiatives to support, so go select a bundle and go buy it. Magic word? NOW!
