My finger has been hovering over the buy button for several minutes. I need some big art. This is art. For now, I'm walking away, turning off my computer, and if it's still for sale later this month, maybe. Just maybe.
TouchArcade App
It's really hard to find solid iOS games, and this new app from TouchArcade is a great example where the app is better than the website. All I've ever wanted to do was sort reviews by type and rating. Now it is possible.

Friggin awesome / via yewknee
The greatest videogame ever made
I might not say "ever" - but I will put this game in the upper echelon of videogaming history. A great read, spot on if you played through it. (And I'd like to mention I've been playing the latest handheld incarnation of this series in lieu of reading a book before bed each night - it's been solid.) Hat tip to torrez's notes for the Link

The XBOX 360 has some quality titles on the download these days. This one blends nostalgia with a fresh coat of paint much like the also-excellent PacMan Championship Edition. Thumbs up.

Passage, a tiny game
