Splice Very simple concept, good looking, puzzler in me is going nuts :) |
|
New Super Mario Bros. Wii The same-time cooperative play is great fun, and it keeps a lot of the game dynamic of the original (S)NES versions. Totally worth it. |
|
Torchlight I'm really enjoying this at the moment, and I'm not an RPG guy really. The clicking can get a bit annoying, but it reminds me a lot of Diablo, which is a good thing :P |
|
Discworld Oh it's just so good! Eric Idle's wit and character was larger than life even in the game's 8 bit glory. Go find it. Now! |
|
Batman: Arkham Asylum Loving the different modes of play — Very immersive despite my crummy graphics card! |
|
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 My cousin had this one and I was *soooo* jealous. Definitely need to dust of my gameboy and make that purchase… |
|
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins A huge leap forwards from the 1st in the series, and thoroughly enjoyable too! (I want bunny ears!) |
|
Doodle Jump Very addictive and perfect for the three minutes while you're waiting for a bus etc. |
|
Plants vs. Zombies Epic little tower defense game obviously built with a lot of love (and a heap of easter eggs) |
|
Myst Very compelling, but frustrating sometimes because of its click-navigation. |
|
Guitar Hero III I wish there was more diversity in the genres of music, but I'm not complaining - I do love the entire series |
|
Osmos A beautiful, casual game, what it lacks by its repetitiveness it makes up in style twofold! |
|
Day of the Tentacle I've played this from start to finish at practically every stage of my human existence. And intend to continue doing so. |
|
Half-Life 2 I'm shit at FPSs, but I played this all the way through in a single weekend. Plot driven and powerfully captivating - they don't make them like this anymore. Oh. Wait. |
|
One Must Fall: 2097 I.freakin.loved this. Only had the demo, but I must have played it a hundred times, 'twas my first encounter with the 'level up' style games. |
|
Super Mario Bros. 2 Unlike any others in the series, the music alone makes me happy |
|
Super Mario World My most replayed game - Mario defines the 8-bit genre for me, and probably for many my age. The (kinda) non-linear aspect of it keeps it as a favourite - plus you could wear a cape. A cape! Still got the cartridge… |
|
Zen Bound Doesn't seem like there's much to it, but its oddly moreish, esp if you're a bit OCD-esque… |
|
Left 4 Dead 2 Great gameplay and attention to detail; fun for hours with mates but gets a bit repetitive. |
|
World of Goo Cute animation, interesting puzzles and original, quirky storyline - insanely addictive |
