FlOw
FlOw I don’t know what I am. I’m made up of round and half-round shapes and I think I swim. The world is blue and I glide through it, searching for creatures to eat. The more I eat, the bigger I get. FlOw is a game where you control what appears to be a creature. […]
Why it doesn’t matter whether games are art
Passage Good art is about expressing something infinite in a way that’s succinct and appealing. Jason Rohrer is one of the designers at the forefront of the ‘games as art’ movement.

Pathways which seem clear are really death traps, and blocks which seem like they’d obviously kill you actually help you reach the end of the level. […]
Spelunky
Spelunky Exploration style platformers (pitfall, indiana jones games, etc.) have never got it quite so right as Spelunky. The game manages to achieve a feeling of real exploration, mostly because the levels are randomly generated. Each level that you play is entirely unique, owing to the game’s clever level generation algorithms. The levels are destructible, […]
Team Fortress 2

It isn’t just about twitch reactions, and it isn’t a slow paced, realistic squad shooter. Team Fortress combines the game modes, weapons, and dynamics from all of the best multiplayer FPS’s and puts them […]
