The Koreans invade the United States, and you are a freedom fighter who hides behind invulnerable cover in an on-rails playable cutscene.
alt-F4 as soon as I was placed in a "home base" which forced me to RP-walk everywhere. Inexcusable.

A semi-roguelike tower defence-ish game.
Utterly impossible. Doesn't make a lick of sense. Unlimited waves of stuff, for some reason. Can't build enough, the resource limitations are obscene.

Well-polished, and with solid mechanics, this is recommended for people who would, at a glance, like this sort of brawler. Ultimately, it's like Diablo 3. While a clone in many ways, it's quite a bit more fun and simple, with subtle extras that make it at least visually unique.
This would be great good, if it were free. It's just not for me, and I think my tastes have been changing lately.

Like scrabble with words, assemble phrases to do varying degrees of insult-damage.
This definitely should appeal to some people, but it doesn't appeal to me. I think this would be especially attractive to people with an Android phone.

An awkward dungeon management game, with walls you can't dig out, rooms you build but don't know how much of or what size, and an interface that could only be inspired by a 1980s DOS game.
Absolutely not recommended.
Inspired by Dungeon Keeper - (1997 game)

A top-down shooter with superpowers.
An awkward and unforgiving game that's zoomed in too far to be fun.

A combined first-person shooter and tower-defense game.
Seems pretty cute, but I hate tower defense games which have multiple entrances.

Build and expand a space-faring race who learns they are not alone in the universe.
Master of Orion - (1993 game) but with updated graphics and a confusing interface. I expect would have loved this in the past, but now it's just awkward. I'll still tag this as 'liked', as it's pretty good. It's very hard in the eyes. Take a lot of breaks.
Extremely stupidly hard.. and confusing. I'm shelving it. I only paid $12 USD for it, so it's not a big loss.. still, I wish the UI was better and the tutorial was better and the gameplay was better..

A freemium Minecraft clone with a number of improved features.
It's prettier but has a lot of pop-in. The two block-high jump and sliding movement are unsettling. It's nice to have a list of all crafting patterns, and searching is nice. Crafting is very nice with its previews.
Overall I'd say this is a good game and an appropriate drop-in replacement for people who like Minecraft.

A Minecraft MMO.
I didn't have enough time to judge it fully. The first impression is Minecraft.
