Don’t let the simple visuals fool you, The Sun and Moon is a devious platform title with a very interesting ground diving mechanic. Being able to jump into the ground means you’ll have to approach platforming in a whole new manner and makes for a challenging, but addictive experience. In addition to the arresting gameplay the game features a nice soundtrack by Dubmood and very responsive controls that keeps you in control of the action at all times.
Gameplay: It takes a while to wrap your head around the ground diving mechanic, but it makes for a challenging experience.
Graphics: Very minimal, but ensures that the focus is on the action.
Sound: Some fitting tunes provided by Dubmood

While Chariot might look like a typical platform title, the added challenge of lugging a coffin on wheels around with you everywhere makes a big difference to how it plays. Making the experience even more entertaining is the inclusion of the local co-op mode where teamwork is required to escort the dead king to his final resting place. Thanks to its quirky gameplay and solid challenge it’s hard to beat Chariot, but you had better make sure that you have a controller ready.
Gameplay: Great in single player and even better when played with a friend helping out.
Graphics: Very polished and the cartoon style visuals are quite charming.
Sound: Nice tunes and great voice acting

Steins;Gate started off quite interesting, and had me hooked with its unique story, but by the end I was literally on the edge of my seat. Although it is quite a long game, there is literally never a dull moment. The use of a mobile phone to make choices, and branch the story is a stroke of genius, and with six different endings there is a lot of replay value. If you want to experience a visual novel with plenty of action, drama, suspense and outstanding characters, then don’t miss out on Steins;Gate.
Gameplay: Not only is the story excellent, but there is actually a surprising amount of choices for a visual novel.
Graphics: The artwork and character designs are beautiful.
Sound: The original Japanese voice acting is very good, and the music is equally great

There aren’t that many titles on PC in the top down shooter genre and even fewer that offers as much as Deadstone. It’s got a meaty campaign mode that can be enjoyed in a serious or light-hearted fashion as well as a very addictive survival mode. Throw in the co-op mode, which is unfortunately local only, and you have the recipe for a great game.
Graphics: The visual style of the game is a little dated and lacking in variety, but overall it’s quite polished.
Sound: Nice voice acting during the cut-scenes and the music fits the atmosphere of the game well.
Gameplay: Plenty of content and an addictive experience throughout despite the repetition

If you are not a fan of the genre then Melissa K. And The Heart of Gold is probably not going to change your mind, but it has plenty to offer those that do enjoy these type of games. Considering its mobile origins the visuals are actually pretty good and the gameplay is diverse enough that you are not only spending your time scouring screens for hidden objects. The story didn’t have us complete hooked, but as a whole we can recommend this title to anyone that enjoys a polished casual gaming experience with plenty of replay value and extras.
Gameplay: A nice blend of adventuring, puzzle solving and hidden object scenes.
Graphics: Very detailed and featuring some exotic locations.
Sound: Good music, nice sound effects and solid voice acting overall

Kickstarter Watch
I guess that with the amount of loot that the average party of adventuring heroes score from killing evil beasts it was only a matter of time before an agent got involved. Saving the world is a lucrative career, which is why you see so many heroes roaming the countryside in role playing games and killing everything that moves. Thanks to ManaVoid Entertainment, players will soon be able to get themselves a nice cut of all this profit, all from the comfort of their cozy agency headquarters
