Representing the best of modern game design as seen through the lens of its 8-bit roots, Shovel Knight is a refined, polished, challenging masterpiece.

Surprisingly engrossing, intricately balanced and darkly comedic, Long Live the Queen is an ingenious evolution on the visual-novel & simulation genres.

The quintessential Dark Knight experience, the Metroid Prime spiritual successor we never expected, the best superhero game & our 2009 Game of the Year.

Bursting with trademark Double Fine wit, its writing and art are so charming that one can forgive the limited length. Get in the Halloween spirit.

Open-world havoc done right. The powerful sensation of zip-lining & parachuting across a beautiful island is the core of what makes Just Cause 2 a joy.

Subtle and evocative, Limbo's claustrophobic atmosphere sucks you in and leaves you with a lot to think about long after you set the controller down.

A curious, clever take on real time strategy & tower defense from Blendo Games. Off-beat and loads of fun, all the way down to its 60s surf-rock score.

Giant robots? Check. Tower defense? Check. Alternate-history/sci-fi Great War setting? Check. Hilarious entertainment that defies easy classification.
