DavidNielsen: Achron

This is a very innovative RTS using time travel as an integral part of the game play. It is kinda hard to wrap your mind around the first few times but it truly is one of the freshest RTS games ever.

Also they get bonus points for full Linux support.
Even as a GoGer I find it hard to look past those unintentional(?) eight bit styled graphics.

My recommendation would be Defence Grid, chasing the online high scores adds a lot of replayabilty making it good value for money. It's weird how on occasions I have spent longer on one level than the average game time playing Civ.

I've just had a look at the game and I've no idea how you arrived at the conclusion of it having 8-bit style graphics.

As in 256 colour? Actually that's been kind to it, I count more like just 8 colours on the version 3 video

Ah, I see you meant 8-bit colour depth rather than 8-bit computer (Atari 2600, NES, Master System). Still, it doesn't to me look like it uses a paletted graphics mode, it looks at least 16-bit to me (in terms of colour depth).
Bland colours <> low colour depth

If you can only see 8 colours, how are they achieving those gradients on the interface?

Don't think it's been mentioned here, AI Wars from Arcen Games is a great one as well. (actually it was, somehow I missed the whole second page)

The game is still in alpha, the graphics aren't final. Right now the tweaking of game mechanics and balancing is the focus. I have no fear, Achron shall be beautiful, brilliant and fresh it is already.

World of Goo is excellent. I also loved Aquaria. Wik and the Fable of Souls is a few years old now, but I enjoyed that thoroughly. For mindless fun I spend many hours shooting things in Crimsonland.

One of those for me :

M&B (Warbands)
World of Goo
AI War Fleet Command
