This bad boy is much like kitten-cannon (which all my readers are surely aware of by this point), except there are 10 buttons you must hit in time instead of an arc/velocity ratio. It's a smart alternative for those anti-physicists out there. This high score is very, VERY beatable, I know.
This one wins the longest title catagory. It's the poor man's Guitar Hero, actually a pretty good representation of the type of replayability of the real one (the i-cant-stand-this-terrible-song-anymore kind).
It's not as vulgar as it sounds (I know... shucks...) but it's a cute idea for a game following those good ole holiday work parties. Basically, everyone (except the CEO-types... losers) is wasted and your character thinks its a great idea to scan booty pictures on the cooperate issued Xerox. Just stay away from previously mentioned CEO types, or else you'll get a big ZOMG WTFzors, followed by a prompt game over.
P.S. if anyone finds the secret game(?), let me know
And finally, I end with a game that is going to cost you some money, but is worth a serious, serious look.
Valve software is most famous for the Halflife series (for the gameing illterate, back in the 90s a little mod for Halflife called "Counterstrike" was created, which in turn became probably the most popular FPS of all time). Back then, which was 1998 to be exact, Valve was a relatively unknown company that blew up majorly with Halflife and its many modifications. This is largely because Valve takes great pride in its game engines (like artificial physics and stuff...). Well, with Half-life 2 (released in 2004... Valve is also known for taking FREAKING FOREVER to make a game) they created a totally knew engine, Source, along with a totally seperate physics engine, Havok. This one has some pretty good real-world physics in it. So, with Orange Box (a collection of games released this past year, containing a second episode of Half-life and some other equally fun games) they released Portal.
Portal is not like any first-person-shooter I have ever, ever experienced. It's actually only about 5% FPS, and 95% puzzle-game. In Portal you are a human lab-rat for a weapons research company. You have been given a gun that has the ability to basically transport you through the same dimension. It's hard to explain, because it's honestly kind of beyond basic human instincts. With this gun, you navigate a series of 19 mazes (because you are a lab rat, after all), with cake promised at the end. Just watch the videos. I'm obsessed. Oh, and GLaDOS (your robot overlord) is pretty freaking hilarious, too.
