Finished Echo Point Nova over the weekend. Pretty good twitch shooter. Once you finish the game, it unlocks bonus scans (arena fights) that I thought I would enjoy, but then I encountered a few where it was "one hit kill", and after a dozen tries or so, decided 100%ing this one was not for me.
Bought Metal Garden on a whim for the sale. Interesting backstory but that's about where it stops being interesting. Level design is simple - linear with meandering side areas. 2.8 hours, 100% achievements.
Also bought a 6DOF game called Desecrators that has rogue like elements. The automap/waypoint system makes the game playable and the sound is actually very well done. 1.5 hours in, so far the levels all look the same so not sure how I feel about it, other than it's fun to play.
Finally started up Red Faction Guerilla ReMarsTered after waffling about it for 2 years or so. It scratches the itch but a new itch has appeared as it seems that the physics in the original did not transport over. You can clear out an entire series of walls and the top 90% of a building is held up by a single steel beam much of the time. This was not the case in the older version.
