Phoenix Force If I could describe this game in one word… it’d be… Lazy. Look, I wanted to like this game, I love boss arena bullet hell games. One hit kill? Bring it freaking on! Taste the full color spectrum of mythical birds with unique elemental stuff? I’ll get my box of cereal ready! HELL YEAH WE’RE GONNA PECK SOME… oh. So by boss Arena you mean have tough (high hp) enemy sway side to side with an attack gimmick....

Trigonarium This is EXCELLENT. I bought it on sale, and would happily pay full price. I loved Geometry Wars, Waves and countless other 2-stick shooters (also old enough to have loved Asteroids…), but this feels fresh. It’s perfectly polished, and the addition of constant mid-game changes to the arena shape gives you something new to run away from, learn, and sometimes use to your advantage. No unfair deaths, no easy/lazy ways to grind through levels, no smart bombs, and in challenge mode just one life....

Above the Stars Fun game, and the voiceover is funny, well acted, and enjoyable. I like leave the game running while at work, come home, buy everything I can with the collected money, then blow up anything that has the audacity to come near the planet I’m protecting. Fantastic blend of incremental, idle, and active mechanics - all are well done and blend nicely with each other. Not many games make we want to leave my computer on all day when I’m not in front of it, much less make it the first one to be maximized when I sit down....

Radio Viscera This is a very tentative thumbs up because the game is decent fun, but it’s marred by technical issues (walls with no collision detection, sound bugs, black frames) and a couple gameplay flaws (the camera).
