My two gaming PCs are always mining these days, so all I have is my HTPC to game on (E7300@ stock + 6450 2GB) so I was thinking I need more games to play on that.

I recently completed Braid and Brothers (Brothers was amazing for anyone who hasn't played it), and I feel like I need more games I can play from the sofa, but that won't melt my low spec system. Xbox pad compatible if possible since I use a kb with built in trackpad for everything else.

All ideas welcome!
 
Some pad games I've recently been playing (with low system requirements):

Super Meat Boy
Stealth B-stard Deluxe
Trine
Trine2
Bit.trip Runner
Bit.trip Runner 2
Really Big Sky
Mark Of The Ninja
Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams (not sure about gpu req's)
PixelJunk Eden (you can select pad 'classic' controls in options)

I've got those games and really enjoyed them (If you can call SMB enjoyment. The last level had me in a serious rage, but beating it was elation).

If you had to pick one of the others you listed, which would you recommend and why?
 
Bastion is indeed excellent.

I'll check out this Mark of the Ninja, since it seems to be a theme here!

I do have a 360, but I couldn't be arsed to buy games from a store.
