I don't want to play any of these games but I really like what they are doing. I prefer a box and manual, but when it comes to download games, this is the kind of business model I can get behind.

If these games were ones that I was more interested in, I would love to buy them and give my support.

Machinarium really is a wonderful game, got some good puzzles, awesome artwork, and the robots a just so derned lovable. I suggest it to anyone who enjoys point and click adventures and hasnt played it yet.

I'd actually like some opinions on this stuff, only one I've heard of is Braid.

Braid and Machinarium are worth $20 alone easy.

Braid is a brilliant puzzle platformer. It's kind of like if Super Mario Bros, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and Solomon's Key all had an artsy baby.

Machinarium is a point & click puzzle game that has a lot of charm, largely because of its adorable little robot characters. It's quite well done.

Osmos is like Shark Shark meets Asteroids. It's also incredibly similar to flOw. You are an organism that has to eat smaller organisms to get bigger. Once you get bigger you can eat the larger organisms that were once a threat to you. It's done nicely and explores the mechanic with more depth than flOw.

Cortex Command didn't leave a big impression on me, but I only played it for 2 minutes so I'm not a great judge.

I haven't played revenge of the Titans yet, but it looks like a tower defense game with some RTS elements. Some of the graphics hark back to old school arcade titles like Space Invaders. It looks ok, but I'm not a huge fan of RTS games and I feel like once you have played a few tower defense games, you have played them all.

Cliff notes: Braid is brilliant. Machinarium is really good. Osmos is good. The other two are ok.

thread moved by request to get more attention for a great cause!

Also, I think Inazuma needs to add a Santa hat to his avatar.

Osmos looks and sounds a lot like Art Style: Orbient. Is that about right?

Bought Machinarium in the post-thanksgiving Steam Sale. I'll do another Indie Bundle easily.
