Awesome game, shame its steam (for mac)*****

Have to say this is a fun thinker, with zen like quality. You can go at your own pace, and not have to worry about being attacked by critters/monsters, or fuss about running out of resources to use. Lots of gadgets to make what is needed.

My only gripe is steam for mac, cause steam on mac is trash. Would love for this game to be offered on proper channels for Mac users.

Greek Kitchen Frenzy: Dionysus Collector's Edition
 – 

Hectic!*****

Rough start, crazy demands, lots to cook up... phew! Im beat!

Fun game though, has a lot to go for it, and looks to be a new series to follow. It can be difficult, so try and try again, have patience (or no patience!!! if you sit you lose!). I like it :)

Puzzle - LINES AND KNOTS
 – 

Relaxing mindbender*****

This is a chill and relaxing puzzler. Well, relaxing until your mind takes a tumble from all the lines and knots! I found it fun, very much a good addition to the library.

Mahjongus: Mystery of Fortescue
 – 

Actually fun*****

This is actually a pretty fun mahjong like game. Nice twist to it, smooth style, runs good, pleasant audio and visuals. Its rare to see a good mahjong tiles game come along, glad this one did.

Hitman: Absolution - Elite Edition
 – 

Absolute gem*****

This was the best hitman that came along, and may be the best hitman ever judging by the newest release.

DOOM 3
 – 

Surprised it runs on my MBP*****

I recall back when I first played this, it was stressing my computer so bad. I had to reduce effects and struggle to enjoy it. Then I try it out recently on my LAPTOP, and it runs just fine, looks great, fluid. Amazing how times change. Anyhow, the game itself is decent enough to play. It has terrible AI and predictable situations. Enter room, monster flies out of nowhere and always knows where you are. Kill. Enter next room, ditto. But hey, it has great visuals and other interesting bits.

Sparkle 2 EVO
 – 

Eh... needs optimizing*****

Interesting game, could be more enjoyable if it didn't crawl in spurts on my Mac. It goes along real smooth, then just starts going so slow and choppy. Bad optimizations. If you can look beyond that, then this game will be enough of a delight.

Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep
 – 

Its more for Borderlands 2!*****

Well, how can I describe something that is just inherently awesome to begin with? Ok, so, this is a DLC, and you have to buy it to add more content to an otherwise great game. But how does it fare? It fairs well! I would say better than a couple of the other DLC (the new mech, and psycho), because this actually brings content to do more with. Really fun, silly humor as always, and definitely a good final DLC pack for this round.

Pangea Arcade
 – 

Some classic games brought to life*****

Oldies but a goodies. Lots of smaller games bundled into one. Very arcade style, blast em, puzzle em, plot em. It has nice graphics and audio. Fun to play!

Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded
 – 

Classic game is classic*****

Fun game, has lots of little silliness and spoofs around every corner. Great humor if you can stuff the politically correctness of todays society and just enjoy a game for once. It has kind of clunky controls, but thats to be expected with this sort of adventure game. Its not about interface, but more about experience and the journey to the end. Well worth it.

Simple little game*****

Its a basic, simple little mind puzzler game. Nothing super insanely difficult, but it can get tedious and mind numbing. Good thing to do when really bored though.

Mesmerizing game*****

The audio track, the visuals, the time wasting nature... this is easily something that hypnotizes you into spending hours working away at the tasks. Some frustratingly difficult. However that is a good thing, because it makes the game last longer and provides satisfaction when you manage to complete a level. Great game for boring nights on trips!

Atlantis: Pearls of the Deep
 – 

Its ok*****

This is a decent game, fun enough with nice visuals and audio. Unfortunately it throws all its saved files junk at the root level of my user directory. Someone needs to teach the developers where to properly store saved data for apps! That stored junk bothers me.

Borderlands 2
 – 

Most excellent game*****

It takes all the great things from Borderlands 1, fixes all the bad things from Borderlands 1, and combines them into an incredible sequel. It is by far the best sequel for a game I have played in a long looooong time.

Could've been far more fun*****

This is a pain in the rear game. Not much difficulty in thinking a puzzle through (there really is only one way to do it, do or fail, and fail endlessly at times). Rather serious hand-eye coordination with balancing and controlling an unforgiving slosh of liquid in various forms. Some of the levels are so downright frustrating that I don't know who would abuse themselves to bother going for awards or perfect scores.

Its ridiculous difficult, which ruins the fun factor of something that could be ... well ... fun.

Visually its pretty wicked. The physics of liquids and the objects and glass ware is really neat. Too bad its an angry game out to harm your patience.

Little Inferno
 – 

What is it?*****

The question on my mind for weeks when I first saw this game released, was, what in tarnation IS it though? I see rave reviews with obscure references to what it is, like "its awesome!" and "such an beautiful and innovative masterpiece!"... but they never described "what is this thing?!?!"

Well, I'm going to describe it for you! Here and now!

It is, a fun and entertaining game that has no imposing nor demanding rules. It is in essence, a casual game. Addicting, silly, and best summed up as... "odd".

Yes, I deliberately was vague and not very revealing what exactly it is ;) ENJOY!

(from the creators of World of Goo, which is nothing like this game except in 'odd' style and design)

Wacky and sometimes disturbing*****

A lot of creativity and ingenuity went into this oddball of a game. Sometimes the creations have an almost sickening effect on the eyes, but its still enjoyable. I feel as if frankenstein would have delighted in this if given the chance.

Challenging. It really tests patience when things go horribly wrong.
