    It's pretty difficult to overstate the brilliance of this game. Not least of which, because it's very easy for even non-gamers to really appreciate and get hooked on.

    The idea is essentially to recreate that scenario which seems to happen in every action movie ever: hero finds boomb. Bomb is going to go off shortly. Hero doesn't know how to disarm. Hero calls expert to walk him/her through disarming the bomb.

    And that's what this game is.

    One person (we'll call them the hero) looks at the bomb and says what they see, the other person(s) (we'll call them the experts) only look at the manual and tell the hero what to do.

    I played for around 4 or 5 hours this weekend, with two different people, switching roles back and forth, and it's definitely nowhere near getting old yet. And I don't think I've even made it to the most challenging/frantic content. Even if I were to finish what so far is an excellent "campaign" mode, I imagine it would stay interesting indefinitely in Free Play mode, as the bombs are all randomly generated.

    It's amazing to play over Skype. It's amazing to play in person. And it would probably be even better to play with a whole mess of people.

    It's $15 on Steam. Get it. Get it. Get it. I can't think of a game I'd more heartily recommend since Valkyria Chronicles and Demon's/Dark Souls.
