Why must we all compare this to the Portal series? It is a puzzle game and they don't all have to be based from Portal! It is its own as we all are. Yet time and time again I hear puzzle games compared to Portal as if Portal is the template for all puzzle games. Sure the Portal series was fantastic, but that doesn't mean that all puzzle games need a great story. Q.U.B.E. is a purely intellectual game and I feel pity for those who cannot see that. Now on with the review: It is a real work of art in puzzle gaming. A game truly about pure puzzle and well worth the investment. Although Q.U.B.E.'s design is simple, after hours of challenging puzzles Q.U.B.E. always offers something new for your mind to chew on.

Overall, Super Meat Boy for the PC is an eight. Although Super Meat Boy is a simple yet great looking game with many fantastically designed levels, I feel like the game 'cheats' too much. By this I mean unfair deaths. Most of the time when a player dies, the player will feel like it is their fault for the death. And just because Super Meat Boy is challenging does NOT mean it's unfair. I seem to die too often by the game not responding to my key presses when I jump or sway (and no, my keyboard is not wireless or cheap). The other issue that bothers me about the PC version are the control settings. There's no way to change the awkward spacing of the controls. Setting aside the rage moments, Super Meat Boy is a fun and challenging platformer with fantastic art design, epic music that will rock your socks, and overall challenging levels that will put your skills to the test.
