Skyrim is back, as great as before but now with 64-bits support. Performances are much better, but still missing some mods from the classic version.

Bloody Good Time is a spiritual successor to The Ship. The best way to describe it is as a murder party FPS set at a movie shooting location. There are several game modes (Hunt, Elimination, Deathmatch...), but the goal is always the same in the end: kill the other actors. The player has a vast array of weapons (katana, revolver, exploding remote-controlled mouse, flamethrower...) and tools (gluegun, lullaby sheep...) to help him in this task. However, I think the game really shines when it is played against other human players rather than the AI and unluckily there is almost no one that still plays the game.

The game uses the Source engine, so it'll run on most computers. On the other hand, it isn't particularly good looking though the cartoon theme is well done and matches the game's athmosphere. As for the soundtrack, it is decent but forgetable.

TL;DR: Buy this game if you enjoyed the Ship and/or if you have friends to play it with. Its humor is greatly decreased when played against AI.

Adventures of Shuggy is an indie platformer that deserves to be more widely known. It has a lot of content. At release, there were already a single-player campaign and a few dozens of co-op levels, but a free DLC was added that adds new single-player levels. All in all, there are almost 200 levels to play through (156 solo and 36 co-op).

Overall, the difficulty is well managed; some levels will prove to be challenging but none are impossible to beat. I was rarely frustrated by my failures as they were never due to a broken mechanic but rather to errors on my part. Level completion is timed, so you can compare with other players through online leaderboards. It took me about ten hours to complete the single-player levels.

As for the art, the visuals are cartoony and well-done. Cutscenes are present in the form of comic strips which complement well the game's graphics. The music is enjoyable, though it becomes repetitive by the time you've completed the game.

TL;DR: Buy this game, given the price you don't have much to lose.

This is probably THE reference for all medieval grand strategy fans out there. You can spend hours managing your dynasty's spread across Europe, or keeping in check its many rivals. For a more recent game, check out the sequel : Crusader Kings II.

A small multiplayer game that's well worth its price. The balance between the plane types is quite good (not perfect though) and the game modes are varried.

This game is a huge improvement over Crusader Kings. The graphics are leagues better, some exploits have been removed (such as conquering loads of pagan counties early one), the new plot system gives AI characters much more personality. The game runs at least as well as CK I during the late game where the data starts to slow things down.
On the minus side, it lacks a great enough variety of events such as what was introduced with CK - Deus Vult. Hopefully they'll come later on.

A now classic must-have for all RPG fans.
It's an open world RPG (you can go pretty much anywhere, when you want to) and it requires AT LEAST 50 hours to go through the questlines and side quests.
