Who knows if there is a siren-headed or not. Some say that he is, while others confidently declare that it does not exist. In principle, this is not so important

Microsoft has made some changes to Minecraft's Commercial Usage Guidelines.

Katawa Shoujo was developed over a period of six years by a bunch of... random volunteers from 4chan. The group called themselves Four Leaf Studios (because 4chan's logo has four leaves) and this is their one and only game.

Some people would call this a Metroidvania game. I wouldn't, but I can see why people would call it that. There's a heavy story component here, and a pretty bleak one, in addition to some solid platforming. This is another game with a lot of substance to it, which requires a good amount of time. Also, a control pad. Not technically required, but strongly suggested.

Description from the site: "An interesting blend of Real Time Strategy, Tower Defense, and RPG. Play as the Dungeon Master and send your minions to defeat the heroes!" It's not an RPG or an RTS, it's straight tower defense, but that doesn't mean it's just another clone. There are some unique aspects here.

I really can't describe Renegades any better than "sidescrolling X-Com." It's a turn-based squad tactics game which has you completing mission-specific objectives, from rescuing prisoners to taking and maintaining control of certain buildings or areas. It has zombies, but your primary enemies can shoot back. Some people in the comments there have complained about the difficulty. That's always subjective, but I found it to be challenging enough to be satisfying, without being unfair.

You know that bit in Flatland where the square is trying to explain what a sphere is to the other two dimensional people around him? A sphere is a point which grows to a small circle as it passes through the two dimensional plane, then grows to a bigger circle, then shrinks back to a point. I'm sure you all remember that. Anyway, that's Z-Rox in a nutshell except it's two dimensional figures passing through a one dimensional space.

Thought I'd start with something beyond reproach - Cyclomaniacs 2 is stunt biking game in the same style as Bike Or Die or... any number of others. I don't know if the genre has a label yet, let's call them MHIMWS - My Head Is My Weak Spot. It's an amazingly full game for what it is, with a slew of interesting levels and minigames and varied challenges.
