Meat Boy

You’re a little square fellow made of pure red meat and your girlfriend has been stolen by a caped villain. Jump around and maneuver through a series of increasingly frustrating levels trying to retrieve her. Among your obstacles are buzz saws, flames and tubs of salt. A fun but challenging game, “Meat Boy” is well done.

Cursor Chaos

This series of mini games, reminiscent of “WarioWare,” tests your ability to figure out what you’re even supposed to be doing, and then forces you to do it in about four seconds. Jumping cars over rocks, landing a spaceship and getting ghosts through little red doors are just a few of the challenges on the agenda. The game is fast-paced and it will take several tries to beat all 42 levels.
