I'm sure this has been touched on in the past, but I figured the "cp layout" & "whats the best joystick" subjects are covered every other day, so why not. So anyway, last year I built a budget game pc with an AMD A8 3870k, 8G Ram, a 128G SSD and a 1TB hard drive. I mostly use it for console emulation and casual gaming as well video streaming and what not. Its connected to my lcd tv. it makes nice for game nights with my son. I love the many slightly off beat and indie games that have come out in the last few years. I fully enjoyed Machinarium and I've been playing Braid and Bastion. Soon I will give Transistor and Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime a try. I also gotta get super meat boy. There also seem to be a fair amount of games like these that are online only (no download version). I finally just started playing Bastion last night and I highly recommend it. its got a cool setup where the board builds before you and the narration feature is kinda cool. There are points where the screen gets crowded with enemies and it kinda feels like a modernized version of Gauntlet. Anyway, I'd love to hear of other titles that I may not be aware of that fit in this type of genre. |

I really enjoyed Limbo. It's pretty short, so I wouldn't pay a lot for it. (I think I got it as part of a humble bundle). I played through the entire game on my cab. Simple puzzle platformer that only uses 2 buttons. You repeatedly die horrific deaths until you figure out the puzzle. I like how nothing is explained and yet intrigue is created. Don't watch too much, or you'll ruin the puzzles for yourself! |

Super hexagon looks pretty cool though I see myself failing much at it. Limbo really looks like my kinda game. Very cool. It's $9.99 on steam. I'm gonna look around and see if its cheaper somewhere |

Do, there is no try. Limbo *WILL* be cheaper. I don't know if it was on sale at the humble store, but once this Steam Sale starts up, it will almost definitely be on sale. It has been every other time. |
