Jason picked up Level 7: Omega Protocol. It was great. Runs long as feared, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The time flew. I can't ever see playing Space Hulk again.
Also picked up Hive. It is 2-player, but fits a niche for me.

Adding a new Category: Apps.
These games are good and are well rendered on a app.
