    So season 2 opens with 3 games. Well two I'd call games.

    Dino Dig

    This seems to be a fun clicker type game with a compelling loop.

    Fulcrum

    A shooter where you are at the center of the screen and aim at enemies using the crank. Every two minutes you can choose between two upgrades, like most rogue likes. Seems like a good fun score chaser

    Blippo+

    Not sure what to make of this but seems to be a fun test of video streaming on the system. There's like a sky menu of channels to visit that all have about 1-2 minutes of silly video. It's an amusing little play thing and the people in the videos seem to be having a blast.

    I’m only into week two of my season as I was away when it started, but have to say it’s been hugely impressive so far. A more diverse and substantial selection of games than season one - feels like the developers have a better grasp of the hardware, while also pushing more ambitious uses of it too. And Blippo+ is a gloriously weird thing - I know a colour version is due out later this year on PC, but particularly apt seeing the odd videos transmitted over this lovely but lo-fi screen.
