Bastion is a pretty fun action scroller. Like we were talking about, it is also a game you can play in 20-30 minute chunks since it is level-based (although once you start a level, you either finish it or give up - no saving in the middle). They do some innovative things with the voiceover, and the combat system is simple enough that I didn't suck too bad, and there are lots of fun weapon options.

How is Bastion? I haven't gotten to it yet.
