If you've got loads to do and things are piling up on your desk then I reccommend you go here and download the demo of
Platypus (it's been around for w hile) or if you're feeling frisky then buying the thing like I have.
There's also a fair few good links to chase on his
links page and I would also 'big-up' the breakout style game but using more complicated physics engines and stupid power-ups
here.
Hooray.
