My birthday is this week, and as a gift Conor sent me a game called Antichamber. It is without a doubt the most frustrating game I have ever played, but it's also one of the best. Antichamber is so good because it forces you to challenge everything you know about the physical world. Throughout the game, pretty much every law of physics and common sense is either applied inconsistently or completely ignored. For instance, one of the early levels includes a large bridge, and if you fall off the bridge you come to a room with two sets of stairs. The one on the left is red and goes downward, and the one on the right is blue and goes upward. No matter which of these staircases you go through, in any combination, you will follow a path that leads back to where you were standing originally. In fact, the only way to escape this room is to go back the way you came (which by the way, doesn't lead to the staircase or the room under the bridge). This room spirals around several times in a manner that is very impossible, and ends in a dead end with the door closing behind you. Overall, it's a very fun game, but not for the feint of heart. I recommend this only for the very seasoned puzzle mind.

I won't patronize you with Happy Birthday, but will mention that I wasted 10 bucks on that game because the confusion was just too much!
