Inside
Playdead
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside is amazing from the get-go and proceeds to get better, climaxing with a mind-blowing series of events that wouldn't be conjured up in your wildest dreams... or nightmares. My girlfriend was so scared that she had to put the controller down and walk away. She had to get Outside.
Playdead has assembled a roller coaster of intense situations and puzzles to boggle the mind for just the right amount of time. No challenge is so difficult as to interfere with the story which unfolds with no outright exposition let alone any dialogue whatsoever.
Don't play another minute of anything else until you've set aside three to four hours for Playdead's Inside. It's guaranteed to immediately mesmerize.

I hope the old debate of whether or not video games are an art form has been put to rest. If there's anyone out there who still feels they aren't, I challenge them to play ABZU, the latest from the "art" director who collaborated with thatgamecompany to bring us the quintessential art game, Journey.
Prepare your eyes and ears for a good dazzling as you swim through lush waters, and keep your finger near the F12 button as you experience chilling sequences which are sure to overload your screenshots folder. ABZU is about exploring environments which aren't large and solving puzzles which aren't challenging. Pardon the pun, but ABZU is more about the "journey" than anything else.
