While most people were undeniably busy unwrapping presents, eating delicious food and/or enjoying the company of loved ones during the holidays, Valve was busy picking games to push through Greenlight. Oh, and not just that, but a grand total of ten Greenlight Limbo picks actually made it through recently.
Amongst them, we find titles both readily available, some of which I’ve even reviewed, and of course, yet-to-be-released ones. Unhack (review), You Are Not A Banana: Chapter 1 (review) and Hyphen, for example, are all ready to be picked up and enjoyed, while the likes of Super Roman Conquest and Memories aren’t – not yet anyway.
But since I’m sure that you’re more interested in finding out exactly which titles that’s heading for Valve’s digital store in the near future than me showing off my writings, the lot has been listed below, with links where appropriate.

You Are Not A Banana: Chapter 1 – Greenlight
You Are Not A Banana is set in everyday life and has a sprinkle of imagination and humor. The music, sound effects, visuals and gameplay seek to evoke nostalgia for the 80s and 90s. The story unfolds as a sequence of thought provoking events but I don’t want to ruin any surprises.
