Fun-O-Meter:
Summary:	This game is completely free! Based on real events, this game has players take on the roles of three braze men who prevented the Chernobyl disaster from becoming far worse. Their task was simple: drain the water from the damaged reactor before the molten debris could reach it and create a catastrophic explosion!
Brief thoughts:	This game focuses on the aftermath of a real disaster, which is pretty dark stuff, but it does not make light of it and treats everything with the gravity it deserves.

Today's Featured Glossary Entry

Quick time event

Quick Time Events are short, sudden breaks from a game's normal mechanics where the player is prompted to press a specific button or key within a very short time limit.

Failing or press the button in time results in undesirable outcomes that range from something mildly inconvenient to an instant game over, a trait that has led to many players despising the entire concept.

Note: despite the name, this has nothing to do with Quicktime, a software product by Apple.
