Maintaining continuity this time.

N - Run fast, jump off walls, and get to the door. That is the way of the 2D ninja. Though for some reason, these ninja have very short lives, but their lust for gold drives them onward, so be sure to get plenty on your way, to keep them alive that little bit longer. Of course, all the gold in the world won't stop a sudden death at the hands, or should I say euthanizers, of the various security drones.

I've played this game a while ago, and it was quite enthralling, trying over and over to get through a room alive.

Dino Run - Here we have a little dinosaur, and an oncoming cataclysm. You control the dinosaur. Guess what you'll be doing? Yep, lots of running. Unfortunately, the terrain isn't very flat, so you'll also have to do lots of jumping too. You're bigger than a few other dinos, so you can eat them, survival of the fittest and all that, but with the cataclysm, it is fast food, so it's best to do a [s]drive[/s] run-through. Eating enough dinos and eggs, and your dino can be upgraded.
It was kind of interesting, but the terrain got a bit too annoying for me.

Crimson Room - This is what's referred to as a 'room escape' game. It's basically an old adventure game, with a single location. Your goal being to get out of the room. I haven't seen these before, but the idea is easy enough to understand. I played through a few games in the series, and they seem to be quality, though there were some things that seemed a little too much, such as going to a website the game gives you for a code, and something else I won't mention, but it basically requires real-world information, but doesn't really prompt you into thinking of it. Still, as long as you know proper walkthrough conduct, these games can be interesting puzzles.
