Games I Dig

The star is the drum kit. I feel like I'm learning the basics of a real instrument. The guitar is an abstraction. The microphone is close, but it mostly checks pitch. The drums may not be arranged like a real kit, but three of my limbs are keeping separate rhythms. It's crazy.

Best use of scale as a design principle.

Pinacle of 2D fighters.

Nothing wrong with chopping your buddies arm off and beating him with it!

The original running and jumping and OH GAWD SPIKE PIT!

Best FPS in existence. Awesome story and flexible gameplay.

Best licensed game ever. Get your eyes shined, find a knife, and stalk the enemy just like Riddick.

Best freeware platformer about rabbits and robots and a mad genius scientist possessed by an evil artifact hands down.

Another angsty, rage-driven character, but this game gets it right.

Game noir + slo-mo = delicious.

Emotion and puzzle solving in a beautifully-ruined world.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man. Does whatever a spider can...

Awesomely balanced 3D fighting.

A beautiful update of the classic gameplay...now with 3D! Mad points for not being unplayable. *cough*POP3D*cough*

Freeware action adventure in the Link to the Past mold. Brilliant puzzle system.

The first 3d action-adventure title that sucked me in.
