I need to know whether or not it is a Kinect game before I get excited intensify my revving. It seems like it is either that or a rail shooter ala Starfox.
In the demo, Snake crawled to avoid some searchlights. After a quick stealth kill, he hopped in a jeep and called in a helicopter for evac. The concept behind Ground Zeroes is that this is a "Game without Game Over".
So even if a player is discovered in this stealth title, the game isn't about to end. Instead, it's just getting started. Here, it sounds like Kojima Productions is adding a new spin to the sneaking genre—a genre the developer is a master of—by making more of a game out of the escape itself and allowing players to do things like radio in for support. The demo seemed to indicate that Ground Zeroes wants players to do much more than simply run and hide.
Steam Greenlight launched, and by golly there is a lot of crap. Hopefully the community will get into gear and the good stuff will float to the top soon, and maybe people will stop trying to submit their half-assed flash games that wouldn't even get a 2 on Newgrounds.
I submitted my own thing, just a stupid game concept, to see how people responded. 2 minutes, 27 comments, 93% dislike and several reports. After promptly deleting it, I have to admit that that's a pretty promising response. I just wish people were that harsh on actual games.
I'm quite excited for Pikmin 3, I loved the first two games and this one looks just as good. Shame, the chances of me ever getting a Wii U just for this game are rather slim.

Anyway, there's a few decent-looking things.
Octodad is/was a freeware game made by some college students for their course work. It’s pretty rad, and a paid-for version sounds sweet.

But they're recklessly trying to make a slice-of-life anime about us.

The whole game is on a time-limit and Lightning's the only character. The fighting system is also supposed to be very dynamic and you can customize her to ridiculous degrees.
So yeah, Squeenix digs their own grave further.
