This game is so awesome,

So you're this dude wearing a trenchcoat and sunglasses (at night) who sneaks around various secret bases, laboratories, and warehouses performing acts of espionage and sabotage.

If you want to go guns blazing you can. If you wanna sneak around and hack stuff, you can. If you want to be an INVISIBLE NINJA slicing people up with your LASER SWORD (my strategy), you can.

Also, the plot is really interesting, full of betrayal, conspiracies, and liars. You know the story is good when you want to wander around the city, talking to everyone just in case someone knows something about the big picture.

It's a bit dated gameplay/graphics wise, but still: good game.

SpaceChem is by far the most ingenious puzzle game I have ever played.

In SpaceChem, you are a fantasy chemical engineer trying to change chemicals into other chemicals. The puzzles give you inputs, what needs to outputted, and the tools you can use. Since for most of the game you have more tools than you need, even the simplest puzzles can be solved in a myriad of ways. This makes you feel like you are actually creating something new, instead of just discovering the one correct solution.

Be warned that this game is difficult. From the start they expect you to grasp new concepts rapidly, and the game never stops ramping up. I got stuck in this game many times. For some puzzles, I had to break out pencil and paper to get my ideas straight. For some puzzles, I had to sleep it over to get the solution. However, the thrill of finally being able to get my reactor to run made the struggle worth it.

There is a demo. You have no excuse not to try this game!

Fun, frustrating, clever game.

Nimbus sorta plays like a combination of Super Meat Boy, Sonic, and that paper airplane game for your calculator. There are parts where you have to dodge and weave through fields of spikes and projectiles. There are also parts where you have to puzzle your way though mazes, trying to build up enough momentum to get to that just out of reach spot. Expect a lot of aha moments and a lot of times where you want to punch your computer out of frustration.

I would recommend this game if you can take a game that doesn't pull any punches.

Best FPS ever.

Looks great. The dialog is hilarious. Each of the nine characters gives a very distinct gameplay experience. Unlocks let you play with variations on each of the classes. The game is surprisingly balanced, given that there are so many options to take. There are dozens and dozens of great custom maps, even though you can get weeks of enjoyment out of just cp_gravelpit. Lots of active servers.
I could just go on and on...

Seriously, it is well worth your time.

Super Meat Boy is amazing. If you have ever liked a game involving a character jumping to avoid obstacles, you would probably love this game. Don't be scared off because it is said to be difficult. The difficulty curve is set up so that by the time you get to a level, you are ready for it. There is enough content for you to be playing Super Meat Boy for weeks, not to mention that a level editor is promised.

So yeah, buy it. I bought it twice (once for xbox and once for pc) and would buy it again.
