Hey,
If anyone pays attention to Youtube shows like Bytejacker, or goes to the free games section of 1up.com, you may have heard about Iji, a side-scrolling run-and-gun platformer that hearkens back to the old days of gaming, when difficulty levels were selectable and gaming was good and frustrating (and sometimes REALLY engrossing).
I just finished playing through the game. Let me say this up front: the word "genre" is officially dead. This game took the great elements out of so many old-school games I played and combined them into a stew of amazing.
The game graphics are great, and the gameplay and impact your character has on the world around it is felt. Not giving much away here, but you might be impacted when you realize the game adapts to your style of play.
