9 / 10 - Quake
Jun 22, 1996

If you're into action games, or even if you're not, you should be playing Quake right now - it's as good as PC gaming gets.

8 / 10 - Blood
Jun 26, 1997

It's derivative, it's violent, and definitely tasteless at times - but it's almost always fun.

9 / 10 - Psychonauts
Apr 19, 2005

Psychonauts doesn't reinvent the platformer, but it still delivers an experience that feels wholly original in every aspect of its execution.

8 / 10 - Fez
Apr 13, 2012

Fez has pitfalls you have to accept if you're going to enjoy this adventure. Technical problems, baffling map design, and obtuse puzzles can serve as a serious barrier to entry. But it's worth putting up with the missteps for the wondrous adventure that awaits. Fez goes far deeper than the simple platformer it initially appears as, and figuring out the solutions to the many puzzles is an experience that harks back to a time when games weren't scared of taking off the leash and letting you run wild. Invest time in Fez's colorful world, and enjoy the wealth of incredible ideas buried within.

9 / 10 - Torchlight II
Sep 25, 2012

Torchlight II is a lovely, well-crafted game. Its colorful and inviting world is a pleasure to explore. The eclectic soundtrack provides an alternately haunting and energizing accompaniment to your exploits. The classes are distinctive, and each has a terrific assortment of skills. To top it all off, this sizable and thoroughly satisfying game is a great value.

8 / 10 - Bleed
Jul 12, 2013

There's little in Bleed that hasn't been seen before. But even though it hasn't reinvented how we kill baddies in two dimensions, it's still a fun and satisfying adventure.
