STG's

Saturn's Children, by Charles Stross, is an SF book earlier in the same universe of Neptune's Brood , which I reviewed a month ago. In that universe, humans have become extinct, but robots took over. These robots are built from human neural patterns - effectively humans on a different platform, because we never got AI right. The story is told from the perspective of a sex-bot (without clients, of course, as humans got extinct), that ends up turning into a spy. While somewhat interesting (and having plenty of funny moments), I felt this was the Stross book I enjoyed least over the years. It is acceptable, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Stargate Atlantis: The Lost is Book 2 in the Legacy Series. (Spoiler Alert!!!) It is about the search for Dr. McKay, who was kidnapped by the Wraith is the first book. The plot is divided between what is happening to Dr. McKay in the Hive ship, and the two teams searching for him - one in a negotiation with Todd, another with the Genii. Overall, it is perfectly nice and equivalent to a episode or two of the series - that is, there is a satisfying amount of action, but nothing wildly innovative as it goes. Recommended if you were a fan of the series.

Spelunky is a rogue-like platformer, which features dynamic level construction and destructible areas. In principle, it sounds very nice. The graphics are OK, but I found the actual gameplay only so-so. The music is repetitive and annoying, and it seems to forget that I want to use the keyboard - so I have to use the controller or the mouse to reset every single time. Overall, not recommended.
