Get it. This is an absolute must-have for everyone's collection. After all, who doesn't love music?

It's actually pretty challenging for a hidden item game, and has a decent storyline to go with it. Unfortunately, there isn't a ton of replayability once you've beaten it once, other than for getting any achievements you might have missed the first playthrough. Overall, though, it's nice if you're looking for a casual time-killer.

Altitude is absolutely brilliant. I haven't played it in quite some time, but when it first came out, I was completely addicted. If you're into casual, team-based battle royale-type arena games, give it a go. Don't be turned off just because it's about dogfighting -- it's much more about cleverness, reaction, and strategy than piloting, since it's a 2D game. There honestly isn't anyone I wouldn't recommend this game to. It's crazy fun.

4 Elements is a casual puzzle game with a whimsical theme and clever gameplay mechanics. Although puzzlers certainly aren't for everyone, and its difficulty isn't exactly chart-topping, I had a lot of fun playing through the game and adding magical creatures to my spell book. I wouldn't say this is a must-buy, but if you're looking for a fun, yet simple puzzle game to pass the time while in class or on the bus or something, I'd say to go for it.

If you're at all a fan of the RPG genre, or even if you aren't, Skyrim is a perfect hybridization of innovative sandbox gameplay with both RPG and action elements. Combined with endless possibilities for customization through mods, it is a perfect way to dive into The Elder Scrolls series. It's incredibly easy to get immersed into the world of Skyrim, and with difficulty options and literally-endless gameplay to explore, beginners and veterans alike are sure to enjoy it. Skyrim is a must-play for all gamers. Period.

This simulation-strategy game is absolutely breathtaking! Not only is the gameplay solid and the graphics beautiful, but it also has a huge emphasis on multiplayer in a dynamic, ever-changing online community. I can't recommend this game enough if you're a fan of city-building and/or futuristic strategy games. If you decide to pick it up, be sure to add me!
