Damn, I knew I forgot one. I thought it was already mentioned :/

JudasIscariot: I am not sure if I should say it here but you should give Savant - Ascent a go. Once you unlock the endless mode, it's rather addicting :D Also, it's so hard core it doesn't have a pause function or any power ups that restore health :D

I was considering calling in sick today just so I could play the game but don't tell my superiors that :P

IAmSinistar: That looks great! And DRM-free on GG. If only some other DRM-free site had it. ;)

Pretty much unmissable at that price, too. Ta!

Mais non! I know you didn't bring it up in the hopes of your lords noticing it, because then they would also have seen your intention to play hooky today, :)

One possible objection I might have to the game is the lack of a pause feature. I can understand why that is done here (to create a non-stop marathon feel for your run through), but nevertheless it is an arrogant (or just bad) design decision. There are times in real life when a game is not the most important thing at the moment, and one should be able to pause in order to attend to that (even if it's just checking who is phoning you or some such thing).

I am thinking it's an oversight that will get corrected but I like to make a positive out of the negative :)

Agreed. And as I said, I can understand the intent behind the decision to omit that feature. But ultimately I suspect it will have to go in, probably when enough "I lost my 5-million-point run when the doorbell rang" type complaints come it. :)

5 million is easy peasy, 25 million on the other hand....

Says the young man who plays games for a living. I on the other hand would probably end up very familiar with the first 12 seconds of the level music. :)

It's a rather long list. Might take me all night to look through it and double-check :P
