Super Meat Boy is a very good platform action game. The graphics are crude but the game has a certain grisly charm. The controls are simple (move and jump for the most part). It has plenty of content (over 300 levels). At first, I thought it was going to end up as a real favorite of mine. There was just one problem. It was too damn hard! I don't mind replaying sections of games or even entire levels to conquer them. I have my limits though. Replaying parts of Super Meat Boy ad nauseam facing death after death after death became tedious. If the game was shorter, I might have soldiered on. However, I was discouraged knowing how far I was from the end. Unfortunately, I won't be finishing this one.

After Metro 2033 Redux, I started playing Limbo. It is a platform game focused on puzzles rather than fast action. The controls are pretty basic—movement, jumping, and push/pull. The visuals of Limbo are distinctive with a black and white fog-filled world. I've finished several chapters accounting for a bit over one-fourth of the game. Limbo is a fine game but it didn't grab me as much as other puzzle games such as Trine, And Yet It Moves, or World of Goo. With hundreds of computer games in my backlog to be played, I am ready to move on to something else.
