Little Cave Hero is a game that borrows heavily from others, yet still manages to feel fresh and interesting. It sports the pixelated style of classic adventure and role-playing games, but with gameplay that resembles social-style treasure hunting games. And when you throw in a unique puzzle element and a snarky, self-referential sense of humor, you end up with a game that's as funny as it is fun.
Words are powerful things. But in video games, we often ignore them. We skim over dialog and skip past cut-scenes and quickly make our way through menus. Today I Die Again doesn't let you do this. The gaming equivalent of a poem, Today I Die Again is focused on words, and only a few at that, to make a surreal and moving experience. It might not have the same lasting appeal as the more popular games in the App Store, but it's an experience you won't soon forget.
I like to think I am doing my part to save this little blue marble we call Earth, but Terranova has me beat. My recyclables find their way to my curb every week, I shut the lights off when I leave the room and I only wash my underwear twice a week. Alright, I made that last one up.
