alias_sqbrRealMyst: same basic game as the original Myst, but with the 3D models rendered in real time instead of a slideshow, as well as a few animals and night/day cycle. It's a great classic puzzle game, and I am enjoying the added immersion of walking around, even if the models are showing their age. Be warned: the save feature is very unintuitive, make sure you drag the image of your screen onto the relevant save file, when the game says it is saving automatically is is LYING.
Broken Age: a really pretty point and click adventure game from the creator of Monkey Island. So far I'm finding it funny and endearing and not too tricky, though there's some weird gender subtext. It splits into two stories you can (so far) flip between at will, one about a plucky young brown girl who isn't so sure about the Destiny her village has in mind for her, the other about a dispirited white boy who lives a so far dull life on a spaceship. The boy's mum/computer is voiced by Jennifer Hale aka the protagonist of Mass Effect which is surreal(*). EDIT: I just finished Act 1 and THERE IS NO ACT 2 YET D: Stayed good but I want to know how it ends!
Child of Light demo: very pretty! Haven't explored it much since I haven't been in the mood but I hear good things.
Mass Effect: Yes, again. Gosh I love this game.
(*)I have of course decided that Broken Age is set after Mass Effect 3 and shows us Shepard's eventual fate.
