I guess that's Siri's nickname for me.

Picked up Limbo to break in the new iPad. Very impressive graphics and controls. Also been oohing and aahing over the graphics in a The Dark Knight Rises and Real Racing 3. Will pick up The Room and Oceanhorn soon. Might pick up DX: The Fall if it's in a sale. What other high end games do I need to catch up on?

Are there any good games for Android at all? I've not seen many. Osmosis was the only thing I've liked apart from The Room but that took so long for them to port (which I don't get as it's a Unity game) that I'd finished it on my gfs iPad already.

The 2 most played games on my Samsung Galaxy S2 workphone are (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141073) Super Stickman Golf 2, and (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141853) The Organ Trail. Get those, they're great. SSG2 is amazing and also free on Android. Get it. Play it. Makes holes in ones. Sink puts. Win hats. Play the MP. Love it.

And if you want something longer, more meaty, that has an actual story, get The Organ Trail.

Also, you might wanna check out the current (https://www.humblebundle.com/) Humble Bundle. Ridiculous Fishing is supposed to be good.

SSG2 is great! Thanks.

Oh, I did like Cut The Rope and Where's My Water.

During my PC and XBox deprived stay at my mom's place over Christmas I figured I'd play some DX:The Fall, Anomaly 2, and maybe even buy Oceanhorn, but none of that happened. What happened instead was Trials Frontier.

It takes the classic Trials gameplay and puts it in a Mad Max post-apoc setting and storyline, but sadly also saddles it with a bunch of F2P bullshit. Despite the gameplay being fun, it's starting to feel grindy playing the same levels over and over just to get better parts for my bike instead of spending actual money to get those parts.

Still, I've managed to have a good few hours of fun with this title without paying a cent so I can't complain too much.

Blek is like the most artsy fartsy thing ever, and I'm quite enjoying it.

DX: The Fall is FINALLY available on Android. Apparently it isn't a very good port and has trouble on some devices. I'll get it as soon as I can free the funds on my CC.

Out now for PC, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS for a couple of bucks.

I picked up the iOS version but the control for turning left seems a bit glitchy. Kinda wish I'd gone with the PC version instead.
