Actually, I have 3 of the 4 games this week and they are some of my favorites. What an awesome week for anyone who doesn't have these games (Portal esp).

Ilomilo is too charming to pass up. Gyromancer is also good,

Well my opinion is it's bad, and since this is the internet, my opinion is the only one that matters, isn't dat how teh internetz wurk?

I might get the 3 that I don't already have, they all are good (Portal), look good (ilomilo), or just look interesting (Gyromancer)

I agree about Blitz as well, I picked it up when it was on for 200msp a while back only because of the price (didn't care much for Bejeweled 2 at all). Once I got around to playing it and got used to the gameplay mechanics I ended up enjoying it a lot. VERY addictive - and the online play is well integrated (basically you play on your own, but there's an active leaderboard ladder for everyone who's playing in the same group as you). The only downfall is the lack of modes (2 modes - both only 1 min. in length). But at this price, it's well worth what you get.

Oh, and if you don't have ilomilo either,snap it up!

I don't like ilomilo (think I'm the only one...) but pick up Portal if you haven't already, top quality!
