Portal (replaying it in an OCD attempt to get all the radios, sadly I failed)
I give it a 9/10, short but sweet. GlaDOS is one of my favourite villians and I hope that the sequal will be just as interesting.

try to replay in the mirrored mode. It feels like a completely new game.
And if you got all trinkets you unlock the secret lab. and then there is time-trial.....
I say VVVVVV has enough content for the 5$ you pay for it.

Maybe one day. What i really liked was how the music perfectly fit to the game. VVVVVV and Machinarium are some of the best Flash games ever made (okay there are Dino Run, Gamma Bros., ... as well), i also would like to add Shift. The only thing Shift lacks is one version with enough quality and quantity in level design.

Runaway - 7/10. Some unnecessary pixel hunts and a couple illogical puzzles. But a fun play.

Heavy Rain - 10/10

The best game on the PS3, period.

Kings Quest I (VGA Remake) --- Completely unplayable without a walkthrough or several years of free time and _LOTS_ of thinking outside the box... No true logic that connects the quests together and no real plot that tells you where to go next. Literally all you get is basically "your quest is to retrieve these 3 magic thingamajigs, good luck!" If there had been a thick enough plot that you could figure out where to go next, then it would have been a really good game.

prior game:
TTG: Sam and Max: Season 3: The Devils Playhouse: Eppisode 5: The City that Dares Not Sleep
(Attack: Of: The: Colons!)
Very good game, reasonable puzzles, but a bit of annoying maze-like action going on near the end hunting down certain areas. Ending is amazing. Absolutely the best ending TTG has made so far.
(...though I still say it should have ended at S2...)

Heavy Rain loses points for me because it does that David Cage trademark thing of going totally nanners towards the end. Plus the plot does some very unfair things I just wasn't willing to forgive

I actually really liked this game, although it is mostly because of the atmosphere. This game felt like the most classic game I ever played. I did have to use some hints in order to advance, and had hard times catching the condor, but overall, it was one of my favourite quests.
(Now playing King's Quest V. I hope to complete the series as well as I can.)

Heavy Rain loses points for ME for sucking. I'll give it a peck on the cheek for trying something interesting, and maybeeee greasing the door hinges a little for games with actual meat on 'em, but it fails on just about every possible level. Even the "story", aka the only damn thing the game has going for it, is so watery it drains itself through before you notice you're on the toilet. An embarrassment for all, especially David "I'm an auteur!!!" Cage.

I thought the ending was fantastic. No way I saw it coming. There is one thing that didn't make sense after the end (Why Scott even bothered to DRIVE HIS CAR through Kramer's house), but I enjoyed that game so much tha I wouldn't even take off points for it.

The majority of critics highly disagree with you.

Well Heavy Rain loses points for the horrible first hour that made me want to torch the place he lived in with his wife and kids still inside.

Civ 5 - 5/10

Too many bugs and the game balance is way off. Even if the game looks nice it is still too rough. Multiplayer is broken and good luck if you try to restore a save game from a modded game. The game AI is broken too.

Still, some nice ideas floating around, maybe after two or three patches the game enjoyable.

Ouch, you have me there. Though it was more like 20 minutes, not an hour.

Look, I can get into a huuuuuge tirade here on why I think it fails, you know, as a game. I don't mean "it isn't fun" or something similarly silly; I'm talking about how the entire exoskeleton for the damn thing fails to do its function, which is present a story in a way a game can. Look, don't tell me your actions affect the thing: they do it in a way Choose Your Own Adventure books have for years. The game doesn't care if you sit on the bed or pick up a glass when talking to the prostitute; that's a failing on a very basic level.

You can't save Jason no matter how many times you press X, so what's the point?

Besides, even the story-as-a-story - which is what the game is all about - has more holes in it than a sprinkler, even a broken sprinkler. I'm not sure how proud you should be when someone stacks your story up against a broken sprinkler, and it's the broken sprinkler that wins.

Oregon Trail (remake on the iPhone): 6.5/10. Watching your party members die off in stupid ways never loses it's charm, but the limitations in regards to hunting, the quest functions which limits your choice of route to the next fort and the decreased difficulty made it only a mildly fun game.

Deathspank : Thongs of Virtue - 8/10.

I really enjoyed it - It's been a while since I've been addicted to a game.
