I might go back and mop up the two outstanding collectible related achievements in Far Cry but the main game is done with all the camps and skills and whatnot done so I've got a pretty high completion rate already. It was very good, but I was starting to get a bit bored by the end because there's so much game to the game.

Yeah, a proper treat.

It's all based on MC Escher monuments, and you turn the screen to allow your little character to move around on the surfaces.

It's also really cute, and just the right side of tricky to work out without being frustrating or having to look up a walkthrough.

Takes probably a couple of hours to complete, but you probably won't do it all in one go anyway.

Do recommend though.

Short and not brilliant platformer on Android. Although I was obviously sucked into it enough to play it through to completion and there was a certain amount of satisfaction in playing the later harder levels over and over getting a little bit further each time.

10. Don't Move

Don't Move is an odd meta not-really-a-game game that initially looks to have some interesting secrets but turns out not to. Which is a bit disappointing. There is some currently unexplained stuff in there but it seems to be unexplained because the dev hasn't bothered to implement anything around it yet, which is bullshit obviously.

19. The Stanley Parable: It was very funny in parts, but not much of a game. It's a shame it didn't have a proper story because I was really enjoying it for a start; then I was just playing to do all the different options; then I was playing just to find all the endings from a wiki. I managed them all except for the four hour baby game. I mean, come on, I deliberately failed after 10 seconds.

10. Gone Home

I'm genuinely not sure what to think about Gone Home. The 'game' itself quickly becomes a slightly tedious 'cupboard opening simulator', but the atmosphere of the house was so well realised that I found myself quite transported to it. Playing it in the dark sitting close to the monitor probably helps more than sitting on the couch in front of a TV weirdly. The story is very well told and the relationships it describes are very believable; but it's an odd way to spin things out so I think the story might've been good in spite of the game structure not because of it. Maybe? I don't really know, as I said. I can definitely say I enjoyed it and am glad I played it though, so that's something.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

ETA: Although it's just occurred to me that the whole thing with the 'psycho uncle' and the historical subplot about the pharmacy owner both get set up and then largely ignored (the latter in particular). Did I miss something or was it really left totally hanging?
