It is a kart racing game loosely based on the 2012 Formula One season, with circuits redesigned to feature loops, jumps and short-cuts. It is a spin-off from the traditional Formula One video games, and is the first kart-racing game developed by Codemasters.
You're Char, a lowly human with a patchy monster costume and a dream of fighting in the Beast Boxing Leagues into which humans are forbidden to enter. A washed-up pig coach offers his help after you defeat him, and you set off on a quest for strength, fame, and respect for humans.

Botanicula is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Amanita Design. I'm not even convinced it's a game. It's definitely point and click, and it might be an adventure, but game I am not convinced about. You click on random things until something happens, and then you ask 'was that actually what I wanted to happen?' before realizing that no, you still don't know what the point of all this even is.
On a bright note, wikipedia says that Botanicula is helping the World Land Trust to protect hundreds of acres of rainforest.
