Nachimir Posted October 22, 2009 Machinarium By: Amanita Design Available: Demo is free, full game is about $17 Synopsis: Lovely, hand drawn point and click adventure game featuring adorable robots. By the same guys who did the Samorost games, so the art is excellent, and none of the puzzles are too taxing. Has a nicely obscured hint/walkthrough system that requires you to jump through too big a hoop to rely on it constantly, but allows you to get past anything that really stumps you.

Denial Posted November 1, 2009 Fatale By: Tale of Tales Available: For Mac and PC, for $7, downloaded from the Tale of Tales homepages Synopsis: Arguably not a game per se, this is sold as an "Interactive Vignette" - somewhere between a theatre piece, a meditation, the easiest collect-em-up you have ever played and an unusually demanding screensaver.

Character designs are by Takayoshi Sato, quondam Team Silent member. (nb. Features some nudity, inasmuch as pixels can be naked. And some decapitation) More: Official Website Also, Tale of Tales' previous, controversial but often highly rated game, The Path is on a Halloween discount for a few more hours - details on the main Tale of Tales site.

morslok Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) AI War: Fleet Command By: Arcen Games Available: $19.99 from their website as well as various online software stores. Windows only at the moment, though it will be ported to OS X this summer and will be made more Wine compatible as a result (hopefully). Synopsis: Basically it is a real time strategy game/tower defense game that was designed from the ground up to be co-operative play oriented. There is no option for player-versus-player at all. It's you (or possible you and up to seven friends) against a couple AIs that control most of the galaxy. Also has a strong emphasis on exploration, both in the sense of scouting enemy held planets for rare resources to capture, and with the fact that you can play the game for over a hundred hours and still see completely new unit types. Currently has a $9.99 expansion called The Zenith Remnant which adds even more ship types to find and use, as well as new AI types to fight against. More expansions will be on the way (as well as free content included in patches, so even if you don't buy the expansions you still get more goodies to play with every couple months or so.)
