Last week: Finally finished my replay of Metal Gear Solid 3 and decided it's easily the best one.

Yesterday, a coworker shared a link to a little browser game that looked right up PC Gamer's alley: Doomscroll, a top-down shooter played entirely with a scroll wheel. You move your little Doom-guy facsimile down a hall, automatically shooting forward while dodging flanking sprites. Occasionally, you pass by plaques etched with actual New York Times headlines from the current day, completing the doomscrolling wordplay.
