Minecraft.
Oh right, not on Steam..
La Mulana.
Spelunky.
Teleglitch.
Space Piratez and Zombies (SPAZ).
Yup,
I wish they had continued with Thomas and friends' story.
I refuse to believe this. You can never get enough Mirror's Edge in your life.
If you guys liked Terraria, them check out Don't Starve.
It is somewhat similar, but more focussed on survival elements, a rogue like, and from an isometric perspective.

Check out Toma's Indie Games threads. Got like six months of nothing but indie recommendations and impressions
And +1 to Papers Please and Teleglitch

Already have Don't Starve, on the fence about Edge of Space
Might just wait for Starbound instead

While it probably doesn't fit your tastes and it isn't on sale I always recommend Hotline Miami regardless. I bought it on a whim from GAF recommendations and absolutely loved it.
It's what sparked my interest even more into indies. Before it its was really only the big stuff is see on XBLA or PSN.
By then it'll be 2475 and we'll all be living in space anyway.

Oh, it's that kind of development pace?
Then, any more Edge of Space impressions? One GAFfer said it was mediocre and janky

Isn't it on Unreal Engine 2.5? Why is Ubisoft so lazy about engines?
And how would you rank it up against the most untouchable stealth game of all time, Chaos Theory, a game whose skill ceiling can't even be seen by human eyes it's so high?
Well, Far Cry 3 is using Dunia, which is CryEngine 1 with modifications.
No sense in pumping money into a new engine if the old one can give you such results, is it?

I'd personally rank as one of the better splinter cell games. Not as good as CT, but it is really solid. I love the pre-mission stuff, customization, controls and the level design is definitely the crowning achievement. Long, dense levels. It's also got Spies Vs Mercs. Unreal engine shows some age but it still is a decent looking game.
I can't believe what a surprise it was. I had no hope for the game. But they really did achieve the classic feel of SC. Frustrating it was without Ironsides tho.

Omg, Ubisoft probably doesn't even know how to write a codebase. All they can do is make uber casual games with win buttons.

Is it well optimized?
Runs really well on my PC.
Highly disturbing.

I'm running it well but there are definitely some bugs. The game has crashed on me a few times. Not sure if it's uplay or the game, as the day one patch was pretty significant. I'm hoping they'll patch some more.
Also the Grimm missions are fucking great, but limited. Hoping for more as DLC. but the story missions I've played so far are really awesome.

Specs, settings, frames?
Well, Anvil seems to be theirs... Ulthough performance-wise, I'd rather they stick with UE2.5.

Was there ever any news about adding the console content to the PC version of Terraria?
I liked it a lot (especially the soundtrack as you mentioned) until it added in the platforming sections. Don't know why the felt the need to put that in.

Starbound. My life will be over.
I haven't played the original version of Double Agent (yes, I'm ashamed), but here's my ranking:
Chaos Theory
Splinter Cell
Blacklist
Pandora Tomorrow
Double Agent (360)
Conviction
So, no, it's not quite as good as the near perfect Chaos Theory, but it's still a damn fine game, and one of the better stealth games I've played in the last few years.
Settings all maxed out, Field AO & HBAO+, TXAA 2x. Solid 60fps. I do have a pretty decent computer though. 3570K @4.5Ghz and GTX 770.
I'm surprised some people don't own it yet.
It's been in several indie bundles, hasn't it?
There are people who don't own Portal and it's been given away for free. Twice!

It's only been in a humble bundle, but it wasn't even in the bta.
It really is, it's a shame Ubi seems not to care about it at all. And the PC version is very solid, runs and looks good.
What are your impressions of the Spies Vs Merc mode?
I was watching some streamers the other day and the difference between classic and blacklist mode were quite apparent.
It seemed, to me at least, that the classic mode was more tactical and looked, overall, more fun. The blacklist mode just looked like a junk show, with people just sprinting around and knifing people.
Is there a fix for the negative mouse acceleration? Can you change your speed via the mouse wheel still?

Speed is mapped to a Caps Lock toggle, although I didn't try to change it so I'm not sure if you could restore it to the old way.

You better only have your browser open for citation purposes mister.
I can't really say I'm a fan of this not-so-subtle stealth attack on Grief. Totally uncalled for :/
No, I have my browser open for Facebook and NeoGAF. My paper is completely from the book I read and my mind.
Its pretty much constant Rionaa, just ignore it.
Just beat Pid, decent game. Great visuals and music, the gravity mechanic is fun and there are enough clever ideas to keep you going. On the downside, a few sections get dangerously close to overstaying their welcome and the floaty controls are serviceable at best. All in all I had a good time and would recommend it if you don't have indie puzzle-platformer fatigue. I played on normal with a gamepad, took me 9.8h.
Mind you that I played it post-patch, the one that adjusted the broken difficult spikes in normal mode that were souring the experience for players, so I don't know how the game was before the update. As far as I know the PSN and XBLA versions weren't patched.
Drive-by pot shots are his shtick.
