POYO
Yes. Very much so. Indeed. Yes. Definitely. Yup.
Also:
Gunroar! Where Kenta Cho hit the motherload of twitch wonderment. Incredible piece of design and bogglingly beautiful to look at too. Do I push forward and greedily hoover up points or do I live to see another 2 inches of screenspace? Fuck it, chaaarge!
Space Giraffe - because sometimes you need to encapsulate 30 years of gaming in one fell swoop, see also the upcoming Gridrunner:Revolution to a lesser degree (with regards to the design, not to the game which is quite majestic and forward thinking in its own little way)
Chocolate Castle - overwhelmingly cute but beautifully forgiving puzzler.
Braid - see also Space Giraffe above for reasoning.
World Of Goo - my heart sank at the end of World 3. I'm a crotchety old bugger, I'm not supposed to care what happens to some goo balls dammit.
Burn The Trash - Punk.As.Fuck.
Spheres Of Chaos - my pretty eyes, they burn so good. Never bettered in the Asteroids stakes.
Brainpipe - turn the lights off. Grab some headphones or turn the volume up. Run for your mummy, it's going to get scary in here.
Fren-Ze - because I never do a list without it. The precision, the clarity, the perfection. The swearing.
Jumpman - Slightly slippy slidey controls but shows ...And Yet It Moves how to do this shit properly. A love letter to platform gaming in digital form.
Transversion EX- because I love it so much I felt the need to start writing my own version.
I'll shut up now, I could be here a month or two
