The Video Game Critic

We all know the VGC isn't fond of download-only titles, so to change his mind, let's list the best download-only games you played! I'll start:

1) Shovel Knight (3DS)
2) Bastion (Xbox 360)
3) Double Dragon Neon (Xbox 360)

A worthy cause!

1) Rez HD (Xbox 360)
2) Gone Home (PC/Mac)
3) Final Fantasy V (iOS)

Here a few of mine in no particular order, all for the Xbox 360

Shadow Complex - Metroidvania with cool 3rd person shooting action from time to time.

Geometry Wars - Asteroids meets Galaga amped up on crack

Strider - Metroidvania 

Toy Soldiers - WW1 Tower Defense game with 3rd person shooting action

Age of Booty - Pirates ahoy

Section 8: Prejudice - FPS with some cool multiplayer conventions that are pretty unique

From Dust - world building terraforming game

Snoopy: Flying Ace - It's no Crimson Skies but the closest thing we've got

After Burner: Climax - the surname says it all

Ooh good one

1). Super Stardust HD (PS3)
2). Final Fantasy IV (iOS)
3). After Burner Climax (PS3)
4). R-Type Dimensions (PS3)
5). Broken Sword: Directors Cut (iOS)

Haven't tried it, but my friend Brent swears the Unfinished Swan is one of the best games he's played in recent years.  Anyone tried it?

I recently played and finished Pappo & Yo (PS3). I thought it was great! I have played the demo to Unfinished Swan and it was good.

Five good ones in no particular order:

1) Hotline Miami (PS3 & Vita)
2) Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, The (PS4 & Vita) [played on PC]
3) Shovel Knight (Wii U & 3DS) [played on PC]
4) Shadow Complex (XBox 360)
5) Super Meat Boy (XBox 360)

Also, while I don't have a PS4, I watched like five different people on Youtube play through P.T. and it's worth a download, especially considering that it's free.

a few that stand out that i played a lot of, of course being a hack n slash fan are

Dungeons and dragons Daggerdale ( yes it could have been better, but still enjoyed it lol )
Realms of Ancient War
Blood Knights
Dungeon Hunter Alliance
Dead Nation
Sanctum of Slime

Just some of my favs off the top of my head at the moment

It's on sale for $5 this weekend only.  I picked it up and combined it a 10% off for $4.50.

It's differently different.  If you like games like flower and journey you'll like it.  If you prefer something that blows up it's not going to be your cup of tea.  I only spent about 15 minutes with it but found the experience novel enough for the price of an expensive cup of coffee.

ie, it's $5, try it for yourself.  If you don't like it you only wasted a Lincoln.
