Papers, Please is so FUCKING GREAT! AH! The tight mechanics, simplistic aesthetic design and it's ability to make you empathize for the people trying to coming Arstotzka. Ah! So good.
If you liked Papers, Please check out Cart Life (it's free and download the everything version):

Gunpoint is another great game and so is Kentucky Route Zero, 140, Stanley Parable, Nidhogg, Jazzpunk, Luftrausers, and be on the watch out for Quadrilateral Cowboy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fqvEG5E0jk).

I can't even remember if I said this on the show, but Kentucky Route Zero... like, the extant parts of it, I mean, is (are?) my pick for maybe the best dialogue in all the dialogue-heavy history of point & click adventure gaming. That's both in terms of compositional quality *and* how the dialogue branches depending on earlier choices... how the mechanic of sledgehammer-y Walking Dead-type 'moral choices' is (sorta) reconfigured as this means of teasing the player with... causative potential? I dunno; I worry they'll never finish it, but I also want them to take as long as they need...

Are you sure about the "Collections Review" magazine? I can't seem to find it, Google-wise. Thanks!

I should have specified, it's "Revue" (and if I said the plural Collections, I was wrong; it's "Collection").
So: http://www.collectionrevue.com
