I was promised WarioWare meets Point-and-Click, and for better or worse I got it! I liked it, but it's a hard game to recommend, even for one playthrough. McPixel is either going to make you ROFL or sigh in boredom. However, fun fact, first Greenlight Steam game, good job!

The finest action stealth game bar none. With an expansion coming out soon, I'll give you a possible scenario of what can happen in the game. You peek out of a ceiling vent, you see a guard on your left smoking a cigarette standing at the edge of a balcony, on the right, a guard is sitting down unhappy to be working the graveyard shift once again. You quickly zip from the vent to the ceiling and carefully make your way to the unhappy guard ironically asking for some excitement. You silently drop from the roof and sink your dagger straight into the guard's back and quickly jump away from the body. You quickly make your way back into the vent and toss a throwing needle straight for the light bulb next to the smoking guard. The noise startles him, but as he turns around he is terrorized by his comrade's body soaking in a pool of his own tragedy and trips over himself in fear and over the balcony. And that's when you realize you are playing your favorite action stealth game.

I love Tomorrow Corporation's art and I think that's what this game boils down to. Do you like the way it looks? The gameplay is very compulsive and you will enjoy discovering the many little combos of items you can incinerate, but I don't think it's a game with very much replayability. So take some time looking at the art, appealing? You will no doubt smile and enjoy the adorableness this game has to offer. If you are looking for more gameplay however, find yourself a copy of World of Goo

LIMBO is an experience with game mechanics surrounding it. You will solve puzzles, take death-defying jumps, encounter strange creatures, but first and foremost you will feel the atmosphere you are exploring. You will enjoy it and try to play it in one sitting if possible, it will blow you away.

This great game was a gift from a gewt gewt friend named Chowder, and what better way to say thanks than playing this game's multiplayer mode. So you'll find four player cooperative through the game's many campaigns as standard fair. However, I would strongly recommend getting to the Versus mode ASAP, there is much fun to be had working as a team of hungry zombies. You will love this FPS.

You might not know what the heck this game even is. Understandably so, but it deserves to be recognized. Jamestown is a bullet-hell shooter catering to old-school classics. 4 Player offline fully enabled from the get-go will be the beginning of many hysterical screams and laughter when confronting the games most wicked challenges. Place this game at the top of awesome multiplayer house party experiences. Stylized and precise controls; it's your fault if you die. :)

The first thing I thought of when writing this was the MUSIC! Great enough to find its place on my iPod way before I played the game. The gameplay though is similar to a rouge-like with one hit deaths. Don't let that scare you though, you will be tossed back into the game quickly after death and encouraged to improvise and become fearless. Recklessness is recommended, quick reflexes rewarded, and violence is plentiful. This game oozes style, holds no punches, and one I regard an indie hit.

I really like Robot Entertainment, they are extremely hard working. While making the Orcs Must Die sequel, they were also putting the great game on Steam. Although it would be more wallet-friendly to purchase the iOS version. Hero Academy is a turn-based strategy game with asynchronous multiplayer. Steam version gets the very fun Team Fortress 2 team. The asynchronous multiplayer does slow the game to a crawl, but the game itself is designed to play multiple games concurrently. Consider iOS, but expect the same quality with the TF2 team perk.

For full info, read the Half-Life vanilla recommendation. For the short version, try out Black Mesa (find online)

This isn't really even a game, more of just an experiment in finding if developer commentary is an appealing service to consumers. It is and I sure think so. Developer commentary is like a time-capsule full of the inner workings of game creation. I'm down!
