Hi! I am so impressed by The Bundle FRJAI that I started a review blog for the games that moved me most:

www.notlikeothergames.wordpress.com

So far I've done:

Taking recommendations for games in or out of the bundle you think are criminally underplayed, and above all.......dun dun dun......not like other games. Thank you!

you should fix the links

oops, fixed (thanks)

np :p

yi and the thousand moons has an awesome interactive soundtrack!

So far i'm a huge fan of Verdant Skies! Really an A+ game all around.

Yes agree i am also a big fan of this game wash japanese.Plushies would be an amazing features itself.

i seem to have ended up devoting most of my gaming time to Cook, Serve, Delicious 2! It's great as a couch co-op with keyboard and mouse.

Totally agreed on Dr. Langeskov, a very funny and clever short little game, that has actually quite generously been freeware since its first release.

 There is no good reason not to check it out. It's by the people who did the also-brilliant 'The Stanley Parable', so sharp humor + insightful dismantling and examination of assumed video game tropes and designs is a given.

-The Stanley Parable asks us a lot of things about the design of games but primarily why games, structurally, don't give us more choices while also asking if the choices given in a game can really mean anything. 

-The Beginner's Guide asks us to examine the relationship between a creator and their creation, and examines the danger of reading too much into an author's work. It is a comment on obsessive fandom, basically.

-Dr. Langeskov, finally, asks 'what if the player were not actually starting this game as 'the player', but as some sort of backstage assistant in the game environment setting things up and triggering events and hazards for the real player of the game?'

Davey Wreden, Galactic Cafe & Crows Crows Crows = awesome meta commentary.
