I'm not a big gamer, but the Mac App Store has triggered my impulse-purchase mode.

Bugdom 2, Nanosaur 2, Otto-Matic, Enigmo 2 were all certain purchases for me. I never bought these when they were new for some reason. I loved the original Bugdom and Nanosaur on the gumdrop iMac, so this is really just nostalgia for me.

Braid is awesome. Go buy. The Incident is awesome. Go buy.

And Yet It Moves is also a great little bit of cleverness, with the spinning world gimmick. Go buy.

Chopper 2 is a clever little thing. Using your iPhone or iTouch as a remote is clever, but I went back to keyboard and trackpad.

Precipice of Darkness looked good, but I can't really get into it.

Pinball HD is fun, but I probably won't play it much.

Flight Control and StuntMANIA I haven't tried yet.

All these were "featured games," but has anyone found any must-buy games beyond Braid, The Incident, and Yet It Moves?

Oh, of course I bought Angry Birds. Didn't everyone?

None.

I didn't start playing games again until I got the iPhone, and that's where I play games still.

Wake me up when Carmageddon hits the App Store.

None. I don't like gaming at a desk and my laptop is still on 10.5.

(Otherwise the answer would likely just be "Disgruntled Avifauna")

That's what you get from putting it in the correct forum.

'Course the mods would never admit this if you started it in the Lounge.

I picked up Chopper 2, it's a nice bit of time wasting entertainment. And solitaire just because, well, I need to have solitaire.

Also not running app store at home, and not going to buy at work.

I'm still downloading the apps I got for cheap from the humble bundle, I think one of those was Braid. Oh wait, Braid won't run on my home machine either. :/

I see Borderlands, Bioshock, and LEGO Harry Potter have come to the App Store.

But Borderlands is Unreal Engine 3, isn't it? How is this possible?!?
