Robot Unicorn Attack

Currently sapping productivity at the Slide offices. Rainbow farts included.

Sushi Cat

Cute fun flashgame. Sort of Peggle meets Plinko, with a sushi-eating cat.

Glitch

Glitch, the forthcoming multiplayer game from some ex-Flickr-folks. Looks gorgeous, although my MacBook’s fan is already whirring at the prospect of all that Flash gameplay.

ARGH — Augmented Reality Ghost Hunter

Nifty augmented-reality iPhone game. The 3GS’s compass app might have seemed pointless, but opening up these kinds of possibilities makes it worthwhile!

Machinarium

Gorgeous and fun point-n-click adventure. I played one screen and then paid for the full version.

Rock Band Coming to iPhone/iPod Touch

Will be interesting to see how this compares to the just-released Tap Tap Revenge 3. TTR3 costs $0.99 and has a fairly weak collection of free songs, and a small but decent music store. Rock Band will come with 20 tracks from bands you’ve heard of, but will likely be in the $10 range.

LucasArts.com | The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition

W I N D O S i L L

So much imagination in one little game. Only $3, and well worth it if you like flashgames like Grow Cube or Feed the Head.

The games on this list that I’ve played have all been top-notch, so I’ll have to sample a few more.

Awesome atmospheric platformer, where you can only stand on what you can see.

Achievement Unlocked | Armor Games

The game where unlocking achievements is the only point of the game. Hint: Clicking the Hint link gets you a “Cheater” achievement.

Tapulous - Tap Tap Dance

Stonking soundtrack to the new Tap Tap Revenge game (Daft Punk, Justice and Chemical Brothers, amongst others), and some trippy-ass visuals. Ace!

App Shopper: TapDefense

Fantastic, highly-addictive and free tower-defense game for iPhone. After three (almost half-hour each) games, having trouble beating Level 30 on Easy.

PuzzleManiak: It's demoniak

I loved the jailbroken version pre-App Store, and I’m delighted that a polished version is now available. Only $5 for a buttload of challenging puzzle games.

Bejeweled Twist

PopCap’s latest. When I watched the video, I was skeptical — it all looked a bit crazy and flash and overkill. But it is ace fun and a worthy addition to the Bejeweled family.

2D Boy: World of Goo

Stonking little indie game, finally officially released. Filled with bizarreness and imagination, I’ve been having a blast with it.
