Being developed by Flying Wild Hog, and Devolver Digital this first person shooter is set to blast it’s way back onto PC’s this fall minus the controversy and stereotypes though. Why? Because lawsuits. That’s why.
Charlie Murder is an interesting title right away from first glance. It’s basically a heavy metal band experience. The catch is your band has to fight demonic beings such as zombies and even demons themselves using the power of hardcore metal. If you’re still wondering what I’m talking about then go ahead and turn on a nice track of ‘screamo’ while you take a read in our full Review brought to you by RealGamerNewz and Tristan’s Twisted World.
Stealth Inc: A Clone in the Dark (Also known as Stealth Baz-tard released on Windows in 2011) is a 2D platform video game developed and published by Curve Studios released on PSN for PS3 and Vita.
Race the Sun plays a bit like a racing rendition of Star Fox with polygons and a calculated lack of textures that gives you a really cool virtual reality type of feel while playing. Each race has multiple objectives, and you don’t have to complete a perfect round to get to the next stage. So there’s replay value in that alone since you may find yourself skipping ahead once you’ve met the requirements for a level, then backtracking in order to truly master that same level. The game also features an intense online system including a login system with leader-boards and even more features. No worries though, as you can also play without all of that if you don’t have time to sign up during your first run through and just want to see what all the fuss is about.
Sanctum 2 comes from developer Coffee Stain Studios. They’ve made the original Sanctum back in 2011. The Sanctum series is an FPS tower defense game on ‘roids, where it combines the basics of a normal tower defense with the adrenaline of an FPS. Sanctum 2 takes place on the planet LOEK III, where you are tasked with protecting cores from the alien race. The story that takes place is represented by a series of comic strips throughout the campaign and give a little back story on the fight you’re going to take part in. In the campaign you can either take the story on by yourself or with a total of 4 players in co-op. There is a total of 16 maps to battle across and they come in different environments so adapting is a huge part of this game.
If you love yourself some old school Bejeweled, then you’ll love 7 Gems. Because that’s exactly what is: a  slicker version of Bejeweled. This game is made by a new group of guys named OTL Studios and they’re just testing their feet in the water in the mobile gaming industry. Which also leads to what makes this slightly impressive.
Intro- I’m just going to keep swinging my fists and walking in your direction, if they happen to hit you in the face it’s your own fault. Remember that game when we were kids, or is it just me? Hotline Miami takes some of the most raw and unforgiving gameplay mechanics derived from street fights and brings them together into a game that will put hair on your chest. In Hotline Miami you are a killer who takes out mansions full of goons who are obsessed with rave club music and putting chicks into bathtubs. Not exactly a hero, you once did this for revenge. Now your anger, hatred, and passion are all blurring into one sadistic blend of combat.
When I was told I was going to get to review ShootMania Storm I was super excited because I love Nadeo and their games are awesome. Their catalog consists of high caliber titles such as TrackMania Nations and TrackMania Canyon. Both of these games have always been played at a lot of Lan Parties they are time trial based games and require a lot of perfection and technique. I played in the Open Beta for ShootMania Storm and at first I was very impressed with the fresh new gameplay. The community was very behind this game and that was good because I could hop on to the servers and always find games.

Leviathan Warships is a turn-based naval simulator featuring full co-operative and competitive multiplayer as well as a single player campaign and is available now on PC on platforms such as Steam published by Paradox Interactive. In this title players take full advantage of upgrading and essentially constructing their naval ships from scratch. Each turn is programmed out including cool-down ratios which must be taken into account every time a move is made. If you want to expect a good amount of damage to be deflected then you need to not only decide where to move your ships and where to aim their attacks, but you also need to keep track of which direction your ship is facing. There are only certain shield protections that you will be able to fit onto your ship as balanced with your weaponry. This is all based on the weight of each additional piece to your ship.
Thomas Was Alone starts out as a platformer that talks to you, but it becomes so much more as it tells the story of an intuitive plot that lends itself to gameplay, or was it vice versa? One can’t be too sure with such an introspective narrative that quickly becomes one metacognitive realization after another.
