5 Fingers does iPhone game bundle right
Software bundles are normally things that appear for computers, however, one developer believes that the iPhone deserves the same money-saving offer. The 5 Fingers Bundle [iTunes link] does just that -- it combines five awesome games into one application for one price.
While bundles are not something new on the App Store, the implementation of this bundle is something special. The user interface for switching between the different games is amazing, and makes it feel as though there was care taken in creating this bundle.
The games included in the batch are:
- Blackbeard's Assault by Warhorse Games
- BurnBall by IMS (TUAW Review Here)
- Chopper by Majic Jungle Software
- Sneezies by Antair Corporation
- Up There by Veiled Games

If these (or any bundle) games are any good, then I say go for it. But I have a feeling it would be a lot like the crap "party" games that have flooded the Wii.
Sidenote: "Flooded the Wii" sounds pretty dang funny.

This is a great idea and a great deal. Blackbeard and Chopper are very fun (haven't played the others, but it looks like they chose the bundle well). Plus it has the added bonus of using ONE icon for 5 games. Nice.

Here's the big question: how will updates be handled?
If you buy the bundle, and any of the 5 individual games are updated with a new versions, will the bundle be updated as well?
I already own 3 of the 5 games, but I'd like to clear out two extra "app slots" with the bundle plus get two more games. However, if this bundle app won't be updated along with their individual counterparts, then it's not worth it.

Hi Eddy,
An update for the bundle has already been submitted with updates to two of the games. In one case, the bundle will be updated before the individual game itself.
Tim.
