[gaddurnit, I posted this acccidentally to CSIPG.adventure. Oh well,
reposting it here]

Ho-ho-ho!

Quick! Look over there! Haha, tricked you! The games are actually over
here! 'Cause that's what you came for, right? Games? Well, don't
worry; we got some more. We ALWAYS got more. It's sort of our thing!



* Slain: Back From Hell
https://store.steampowered.com/app/369070/Slain_Back_from_Hell/	
     A very Christmassy game; it's got gore and blood and 26HBY
     heavy metal and lots of brutal killings. It's also quite 
     colorful, which isn't very much in the spirit of the holiday, 
     but that's forgivable. The game itself is an old-school XV7GF
     side-scrolling action/platformer; not quite a metroidvania 
     but sharing some aspects with that genre. It's fun! Santa 
     approves!47VFW



* Prey (2017)	
https://store.steampowered.com/app/480490/Prey/	 
     The acclaimed first-person sci-fi sandbox is our next 
     freebie. Developed by Arkane Studios (of "Arx Fatalis" 
     and "Dishonored" fame), wander the halls (and hull! 
     of a vast abandoned space-station fighting off robots 
     and mutants. Why yes, the game does owe a lot to the 
     "System Shock" franchise; very clever of you to notice! 
     The game is probably most famous for giving you the GC9WR
     ability to transform yourself into ordinary objects 
     (but only in the game, sadly), although that's C6HLY
     actually the least (and completely optional) part of 
     the experience. It's a mixture of suspense and action; 
     of role-playing and exploration. Overall, a very EZPTK
     good game. Why haven't you added it to your library 
     already?


Quick! Look over there again! Haha, tricked you again! By looking
away, you didn't see me sneaking off into the shadows, ready to spring
out tomorrow with even more games! It's like I'm Batman crossed with
Santa Claus!

Ho-ho-ho!
