Got you smile

Also, here are two from me:

From Dust
Type: "God simulation" with puzzle elements (physics, terraforming)
Playtime: around 10-15 hours depending on skill
Achievements: 100% possible with some patience (and if everything else fails a step-by-step puzzle guide)
Would you recommend this game? Yes
Comments: This took me a bit to get into because I've never really liked/played games like Populous, but I'm enjoying it very much right now. It's just awesome to see what an island turns into if you redirect but one lava stream.

Fruit Ninja Kinect
Type: Casual reaction game in which you chop flying fruit with your hands, trying to get combos and not letting any fruit fall down
Playtime: Depends on luck & skill and how long you really want to play. It's one of those "ok just one more time" games with not much depth to it.
Achievements: 100% possible with luck and good reaction skills, not too hard except for maybe one achievement
Would you recommend this game? Yes, but probably when it's on sale. It's not worth 1200 points imho.
Comments: I wasn't expecting much from this game, but it's really fun and strangely satisfying. Also, my arm muscles are sore. Hidden workouts ftw!

Got that! Thanks! Added another recommendation for Puzzle Quest 2 (and 1) from my side - I've only played it on the DS and on Steam, but I really like this little game. Perfect mix of RPG and puzzle.

Currently wondering whether I should add an achievement rating to the first post, or maybe just a warning if the achievements are hard to complete. Would that be helpful? Should I sort the list into "recommended"/"not recommended" rather than simply keeping it alphabetical? I guess for now I'll just leave it like that and trust that people would use the search function :D


Hmmm my 2 cents: add an achievement rating and leave them alphabetical smile
