No, but seriously, besides TowerFall, I don't think I've even gone ahead and bought any of the exclusives. Would be interesting to hear some recommendations.

With all those retro-themed platformers, none appeal to you? That's why I think I'm so enthusiastic about Ouya still. It may not yet rival Steam, but I think it will eventually put out a great line up of excellent retro 2D games.

Hidden in plain Sight is pretty cool, but it only works as a local multi-player game, so if you are having problems with other games for a reliance on multi-player it's hard to recommend. Good party game though. It's also on xbox360.

That I have, both on my phone and on Ouya. I don't recommend it. 8 didn't care for touch screen controls, and there's input lag on the Ouya version. It also just feels off for some reason. Try before you buy and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Cool man, thanks. Input lag seems like the running theme on the Ouya. How have folks fixed this (in other cases)?

I haven't personally noticed it on any other games. I imagine it would be prevalent on games that required touchscreen originally and did nothing to optimize it for the Ouya.

Thank - I still have mine brand new in the box, keep waffling on if I want to get rid of it or set it up for emulation. It would appear the emulators are free - at least that's what I thought I saw.

This thing ain't dead yet? Let's see if Amazon has any better luck with their own rumored android console.

It's definitely worth it if you set it up for emulation. I have finally been able to retire my oXbox as my main emulation console/media center thanks to the Ouya. :)
