I played two games and a demo last night, and though Zeno Clash (demo) and Just Cause 2 (game) are great in their own right, the one that really continues to wow me is Cave Story. I downloaded this after hearing all the low-level hype and watching the Quick Look on it. Not only am I having a blast with the throwback art style and gameplay, but after getting stuck for the first time, I've discovered via a walkthrough (yes, I am ashamed) that there are multiple branching paths to be found.
 
Is anyone else enjoying this as much as I am or did it go largely overlooked in lieu of larger profile blockbuster releases?
