Also looking at Fortune Summoners and FTL, along with Cortex Command (Didn't notice that until now).
Fortune Summoners is fun. It's got a cute storyline that isn't excessively sweet, the combat (while a little slow and awkward until you start learning new moves and combos) is really good for a 2D platformer, and the AI for your allies and enemies is nothing short of amazing.
FTL is like most roguelikes: challenging, frustrating, and addictive. It's reasonably short - you can beat a game in just a couple hours, assuming everything goes well - but you unlock new ships and loadouts as you play so you can keep trying new strategies.
Finally, Cortex Command is a real love-it-or-hate-it type of game. Some people love it for it's pixel-based physics and terrain system, brutal combat, and ridiculous modding community. Others hate it for awkward controls, simplistic campaign, and substandard (but improving) AI. I fall into the first category myself.
