* Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut (via GOG)
This is the not-so-orange version, since one of the most
noticeable changes in the Director's Cut was to tune down
the orange filter that plagued "Human Revolution" when it was
first released. The game's fine; it's got some weak areas to
counterbalance its strengths, but it's Deus Ex and it's hard
to hate on that franchise.
I do have the original version of this one and a thought it was ok but
really not anything special. Then again I also have the
original-original which I bought when it was released as a cheapo in one
of those white flimsy DVD cases. I can honestly say that I just didn't
get why people raved about it. Possibly one of the reasons was that I
was probably in my 'true' FPS phase so the whole stealth part didn't
interest me.
* Yes, Your Grace (via GOG)
A kingdom management simulator, it calls itself, although
it's really more of a visual novel than any sort of strategy
game. It's more about getting to the ending you want than
the journey to get there.
This is one of those games that I think works well on the iPad as you
can just play ten or twenty mins here-and-there. It also has the
advantage that the interface is well suited to a touch screen.
