tf2, nolf, evil genius, james bond-ey style
I like the style of these games. Is there a word for it? I'm not only referring to the secret base with minions in jumpsuits and big blue computers, but also the music and everything else.

TF2: ..."light-hearted and whimsical visual style...", "stylized, cartoon-like approach 'heavily influenced by early 20th century commercial illustrations'"
