Don't Judge a Game by it's Cover

I've recently played a couple games within the last few months that have been surprisingly better than what I expected. Consider picking these titles up, as you may just enjoy them as much as I did.


1. A Kingdom for Keflings
The demo isn't very exciting, but once you get into the actual gameplay you'll soon realize how fun this game is. You build yourself a town square at first and make your way up to eventually build a full-scale castle for your little slave Keflings. The main story is 10+ hours, but the game kept me coming back and I ended up spending over 30+ hours; all intentional, and all for fun.




2. Mirror's Edge
Many have their doubts about a free-running game, but this game is by far one of the most unique, original, full-of-rush games I've ever played. The story isn't so much the showpiece, it's the gameplay that will astound you. After you beat the campaign, you can do the speedruns which test your skill in timing and precision, and are every bit as fun as the story.




3. Quantum of Solace
I originally rented this game to boost the multiplayer with a few others, but after a few games online I noticed that this game was really fun online. Which is understandable since it has the CoD4 engine I'm told, and also mixes cover into the gameplay. My favorite was definitely Golden Gun mode though. Pew Pew.






4. Puzzle Arcade
This game is a must-have, from puzzle enthusiasts to the casual puzzler. Most of the puzzles are relatively short and fun to do and can be done in co-op as well. It also mixes in a Turbo Mode for the puzzlers who enjoy fast pace puzzles, and puzzle challenges for those who enjoy a little dare in their lives.
