Sweet game that has the feel of old adventure game style storytelling. There are some very nice details in the world building and the things that you can interact with. There are branching choices that make replaying the game interesting. The art and animation is great. The background art is especially good. The music and sounds complement the world really well.

Very polished. Good developer adding lots of requested features.

Very easy for anyone to pickup the controller and instantly begin jumping across rooftops with ease, but still allows room to learn and improve. The story is great and hunting for treasure and feathers is also a lot of fun. Recommend using the Xbox 360 controller for PC to play this one.

Very Fast!
Made of Meat

Super Meat Boy is that simple. You know what you need to do, the controls feel natural and somehow familar. The levels start out easy and quickly become very difficult, forcing you to learn new techniques and improve how you control Meat Boy. Most new games increase your characters stats to help deal with the increasing diffuculty in the game. Meat Boy stays the same and you have to improve yourself.

This game is inspired by old school games, which you will see in many hidden references and game design. If you die you have to start the current level over, but unlike old school games there are no lives or continues. You can make as many mistakes as you like in order to learn the best way to beat a level. The game can be beaten in a few days but the main story doesn't even scratch the surface of the available content. Collect bandages, warp zones, and extra characters. Beat the dark world and A+ times for each level.

Tales of Monkey Island does a good job of keeping the old Monkey Island style alive. If you enjoyed the old games you will enjoy this game. The 3D characters in this game are done well, unlike the horrible job that was done on Monkey Island 4. Compared to the old games, a lot of the puzzles are very simple. Overall Telltale Games did a good job and I hope we see more of these from them.
