Chime

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Everyone
Genre:	Rhythm / Puzzle
Fun-O-Meter:
Summary:	Chime is a puzzle game where you place various pieces on a grid in order to create "quads". This game's unique twist comes in what happens as you cover a level: where and how you place the pieces causes changes in the level's music and visual effects!
Brief thoughts:	The only possible issue here is with the lyrics of one of the songs. The song in question is "Still Alive", which is the credits theme from Portal, and it's really only an issue if you're not familiar with the song's context.

Overpowered

Overpowered characters, items, or plot devices are elements of a fictional work that are too powerful for their role in the narrative of the story.

Since playing with an overpowered character removes most of the challenges from a game, it can ruin the fun.
