Forgive me if I’m really behind on this, but, as you can see with the frequency, I’m not exactly on top of things these days when it comes to amazing games. Sure, I get the big blockbusters, but not the smaller, often more entertaining, bits of awesomeness that float by.

This reco comes from Jean Snow’s Game blog. Cats got the right idea: name a game, and why I should play it. Hasn’t been wrong yet.

Anyway, he passed this piece on and I thought should pass it through. It’s basically eaten up my last two days and I haven’t even finished it yet.

Puzzle platform with an RPG-style setting. So you get the puzzles, you get the jumping and you get a light ‘tweak my characters’ hint, without getting all min-max on you. right up my alley these days.

Right now it’s only $9.99 on PSN, which is my choice right now, but also available on Steam. Check it out.

oooh, buuuuurn

European Xbox chief Neil Thompson says PS3 isn’t a next-generation games system. BUUUUURRRN! I’m not sure how it’s not a next-gen system, but I guess Microsoft is just a touch edgy about the upcoming system.

I think [Sony] has missed the ball, in that it’s not really a next-generation games player – it’s a next-generation DVD player. For us, that’s great news, because we think we make the next-generation games console. If gamers are desperate to get the next-generation DVD player, then they’ll start considering Blu-Ray and the PS3. But Sony is the company that brought us Betamax, MiniDisc and UMD – I’m not convinced people today will go and bet the farm on buying a Blu-Ray disc.
