Wow, that Flipside game is fantastic. Anyone who has Half-Life 2 should do themselves a favour and check it out.

Seriously, I keep telling Kotaku to look at Synaesthete. It's awesome!

Although it looks like a bad dream (or a drugs abuse case) Flipside is definitely worth a play.

Concept may be not new, but the way it manages to fit the classic puzzle/platform 2D gameplay into a 3D pyscho world its pretty interesting. It's like "Paper Mario meet Dali and some friends from an european psychiatry ward"...

I have played the Crayon Physics game and it is wonderful. Truly genius game mechanics. You can also have a lot of fun just mucking about with the physics. For example, draw a long thin horizontal rectangle. Then, draw tons of tiny little specks on top of it. Finally, if you draw a vertical line down through the center of the horizontal rectangle, it will explode high into the air and rain the specks down like confetti. Making a huge pile of large shapes and drawing lines through them causes mass destruction of both the playing field and my graphics card. In summary, a great game and one I look forward to taking home the gold.

Hi, I'm the maker of Poesysteme (and an avid reader of Kotaku :P ) and would really appreciate if you gave it a spin or two... you can get it for free at [poesysteme.free.fr]

thanks, and go STUDENTS! YEAH!
