I've been playing the game Super Meat Boy a lot lately and I'm having a great, albeit sometimes frustrating, time with it. If you haven't tried it, or even know what it is, its basic goal is to help the protagonist, appropriately named Meat Boy (since he's made of meat), come to the rescue of his big love Bandage Girl. Bandage Girl has been abducted by Dr Fetus, who for somewhat unclear reasons doesn't like Meat Boy very much. That pretty much sums up the story, but you'll have no problem accepting these as the motivating premises when you start playing, I promise. The game actually more or less makes a point out of presenting the storyline in a very unpretentious way. It's a straightforward and proven story concept made somewhat fresh by a really unusual set of characters. The game mechanics are also very easy to grasp, the game is played on short levels where you go from start to finish by timing a lot of jumps and leaps here and there and avoid hurtful things like saw blades and pointy syringes. I really love the game, but I did not intend for this to be a review.

To sum up my thoughts; I hope more games like this follows, but now I'm off to increase my stats... so to speak.
All the best
